Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Alzheimer's disease are characterized by the presence of elevated total-Tau cerebrospinal fluid concentrations while the presence of hyperphosphorylated Tau forms in the cerebrospinal fluid is rather a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Here we aimed to investigate potential contribution of nonphospho-Tau epitopes (non-P-Tau) in the discrimination between both diseases. Non-P-Tau cerebrospinal fluid concentration was highly increased in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease ( = 57, 3683 ± 3599 pg/mL) compared to Alzheimer's disease ( = 41, 148 ± 219 pg/mL) and neurological controls ( = 56, 62 ± 40 pg/mL), and significantly improved the proportion of correctly classified patients (99%) compared to that achieved by total-Tau (90%), P-Tau (62%) and 14-3-3 (91%).
克雅氏病和阿尔茨海默病的特征是脑脊液中总 Tau 蛋白浓度升高,而脑脊液中存在过度磷酸化的 Tau 蛋白形式则更是阿尔茨海默病的一个标志。在这里,我们旨在研究非磷酸化 Tau 表位(非 P-Tau)在区分这两种疾病中的潜在作用。与阿尔茨海默病(n = 41,148 ± 219 pg/mL)和神经对照组(n = 56,62 ± 40 pg/mL)相比,克雅氏病(n = 57,3683 ± 3599 pg/mL)中非 P-Tau 脑脊液浓度显著升高,与总 Tau(90%)、P-Tau(62%)和 14-3-3(91%)相比,显著提高了正确分类患者的比例(99%)。
