Patients with AD or mild cognitive impairment of AD type (MCI-AD) whose clinical diagnosis was supported with CSF biomarkers (n = 193) had significantly lower A beta 1-42 plasma concentrations (p<0.007), and A beta 1-42/1-40 ratios (p<0.003) compared to patients with other dementias and MCI of other types (n = 64). No significant differences between persons with MCI of AD type and patients with early AD were observed, or between MCI of other types versus patients with early dementia of other types. Our findings reconfirm the hypothesis that alterations of biomarker concentrations occur early in a preclinical AD stage and that these alterations are also reflected in plasma.

Recently, plasma A beta 40 was suggested as an independent cerebrovascular risk factor candidate.

For the analysis of plasma, we used immunoprecipitation followed by the quantitative A beta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot. Results The major outcome was a striking decrease of A beta 140 in plasma paralleled by an increase in the ratio of A beta 138/A beta 140 in two patients with acute stroke. Interestingly, these patients had an onset of symptoms within only 24 hr before venous puncture and there was a strong correlation of A beta 138/A beta 140 levels with the time span between onset of symptoms and venous puncture. Conclusion From these results, we suggest the ratio of plasma A beta 138/A beta 140 as a possible biomarker for the early diagnosis of acute stroke. J. Clin. Lab. Anal. 26:238-245, 2012.

We analyzed 303 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of 71 AD, 32 DLB and 36 FTD patients in comparison to 93 various other dementias (OD), 20 peripheral neurologic disease (PND) controls, 25 neurodegenerative disorders without dementia (ND) and 26 depressive cognitive complainers (DCC) for distinct CSF amyloid-beta (Ab) peptide patterns, using the quantitative A beta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot.

For the analysis of plasma we used immunoprecipitation followed by the quantitative ApSDS-PAGE/immunoblot. For comparison, CSF tau and A beta 1 -42 analyses were performed. The major outcome was an increase in A beta 1-40 in plasma of VAD paralleled by a decrease in the ratio of A beta 1-38/A beta 1-40. The ratio A beta 1-38/A beta-1-40 in plasma enabled contrasts of beyond 85% and 80% for discriminating VAD from DC and all other patients, respectively. In CSF, we confirmed the typical CSF biomarker constellation of increased tau and diminished A beta 1-42 levels for AD. The diagnostic accuracy of plasma A beta 1-38/A beta 1-40 for VAD resembled the accuracy of CSF biomarkers for AD. From the presented results, we consider the ratio of plasma A beta 1-38/ A beta 1-40 peptides to be a blood-based biomarker candidate for VAD."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1471-4159.2007.04763.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000250384500004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","17662050"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/50425"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Blackwell Publishing"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-3042"],["dc.title","Blood-based neurochemical diagnosis of vascular dementia: A pilot study"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Amyloid plaques deposited in the brain of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) mainly consist of carboxy-terminally elongated forms of amyloid-beta (A beta) peptides, such as A beta 1-42. Absolute A beta 1-42 levels in CSF have shown diagnostic value for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, but the discrimination among Alzheimer's disease, DLB and PDD was poor. A recently established quantitative urea-based A beta-sodium-dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide-gel-electrophoresis with Western immunoblot (A beta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot) revealed a highly conserved A beta peptide pattern of the carboxy-terminally truncated A beta peptides 1-37, 1-38, 1-39 in addition to 1-40 and 1-42 in human CSF. We used the A beta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot to investigate the CSF of 23 patients with Alzheimer's disease, 21 with DLB, 21 with PDD and 23 non-demented disease controls (NDC) for disease-specific alterations of the A beta peptide patterns in its absolute and relative quantities. The diagnostic groups were matched for age and severity of dementia. The present study is the first attempt to evaluate the meaning of A beta peptide patterns in CSF for differential diagnosis of the three neurodegenerative diseases-Alzheimer's disease, DLB and PDD. The A beta peptide patterns displayed disease-specific variations and the ratio of the differentially altered A beta 1-42 to the A beta 1-37 levels subsequently discriminated all diagnostic groups from each other at a highly significant level, except DLB from PDD. Additionally, a novel peptide with A beta-like immunoreactivity was observed constantly in the CSF of all 88 investigated patients. The pronounced percentage increase of this peptide in DLB allowed a highly significant discrimination from PDD. Using a cut-off point of 0.954%, this marker yielded a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 81 and 71%, respectively. From several lines of indication, we consider this peptide to represent an oxidized alpha-helical form of A beta 1-40 (A beta 1-40( )). The increased abundance of A beta 1-40( ) probably reflects a disease-specific alteration of the A beta 1-40 metabolism in DLB. We conclude that A beta peptide patterns reflect disease-specific pathophysiological pathways of different dementia syndromes as distinct neurochemical phenotypes. Although A beta peptide patterns failed to fulfil the requirements for a sole biomarker, their combined evaluation with other biomarkers is promising in neurochemical dementia diagnosis. It is noteworthy that DLB and PDD exhibit distinct clinical temporal courses, despite their similar neuropathological appearance. Their distinct molecular phenotypes support the view of different pathophysiological pathways for each of these neurodegenerative diseases."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/brain/awl063"],["dc.identifier.isi","000236998000012"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16600985"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/35846"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Oxford Univ Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0006-8950"],["dc.title","CSF amyloid-beta-peptides in Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease dementia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
