Neuronal-derived exosomal Aβ42, T-tau, and P-T181-tau have been demonstrated to be biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, no study has assessed the association of Aβ42, T-tau, and P-T181-tau between exosomes and CSF.
This was a multicenter study with two-stage design. The subjects included 28 AD patients, 25 aMCI patients, and 29 controls in the discovery stage; the results of which were confirmed in the validation stage (73 AD, 71 aMCI, and 72 controls).
The exosomal concentrations of Aβ42, T-tau, and P-T181-tau in AD group were higher than those in aMCI and control groups (all P < .001). The level of each exosomal biomarker was highly correlated with that in CSF.
This study verified the agreement between CSF and blood exosomal biomarkers and confirmed that exosomal Aβ42, T-tau, and P-T181-tau have the same capacity as those in CSF for the diagnosis of AD and aMCI.
已证实神经元衍生的外泌体 Aβ42、T- tau 和 P-T181-tau 是阿尔茨海默病(AD)的生物标志物。然而,尚无研究评估 AD 患者脑脊液(CSF)与外泌体中 Aβ42、T- tau 和 P-T181-tau 的关联。
这是一项多中心、两阶段设计的研究。在发现阶段纳入 28 例 AD 患者、25 例 aMCI 患者和 29 例对照者;在验证阶段纳入 73 例 AD 患者、71 例 aMCI 患者和 72 例对照者。
AD 组外泌体 Aβ42、T- tau 和 P-T181-tau 的浓度高于 aMCI 组和对照组(均 P<.001)。每个外泌体生物标志物的水平与 CSF 中该标志物的水平高度相关。
本研究验证了 CSF 和血液外泌体生物标志物之间的一致性,并证实外泌体 Aβ42、T- tau 和 P-T181-tau 与 CSF 一样,可用于 AD 和 aMCI 的诊断。
