Cost- and time-effective markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD), reliable and feasible at the population level are urgently needed. Soluble amyloid-β protein precursor β (sAβPPβ) in plasma has attracted scientific attention as a potential AD biomarker candidate. Here we report that plasma sAβPPβ levels in patients with AD dementia and typical for AD cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker profiles (N = 33) are significantly lower (p < 0.01) than those of cognitively healthy elderly individuals without AD (N = 39), while CSF sAβPPβ levels did not differ between the studied groups. This provides further evidence for the potential of sAβPPβ in plasma as an AD biomarker candidate.
目前迫切需要具有成本效益且能够有效反映阿尔茨海默病(AD)的标志物,且这种标志物还需要具有在人群水平上的可靠性和可行性。血浆可溶性淀粉样蛋白前体β(sAβPPβ)作为一种有潜力的 AD 生物标志物候选物,已经引起了科学界的关注。在这里,我们报告称,AD 痴呆症患者的血浆 sAβPPβ水平以及具有典型 AD 脑脊液(CSF)生物标志物特征的患者(N=33)显著低于认知健康的无 AD 老年个体(N=39)(p<0.01),而两组患者的 CSF sAβPPβ水平没有差异。这进一步证明了血浆 sAβPPβ作为 AD 生物标志物候选物的潜力。
