Saliva is a convenient and accessible biofluid that has potential as a future diagnostic tool for Parkinson’s disease. Candidate diagnostic tests for Parkinson’s disease to date have predominantly focused on measurements of alpha-synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid, but there is a need for accurate tests utilising more easily accessible sample types. Prior studies utilising saliva have used bulk measurements of salivary α-synuclein to provide diagnostic insight. Aggregate structure may influence the contribution of α-synuclein to disease pathology. Single molecule approaches can characterise the structure of individual aggregates present in the biofluid and may therefore provide greater insight than bulk measurements. We have employed an antibody-based single-molecule pulldown assay to quantify salivary α-synuclein and amyloid-β peptide aggregate number and subsequently super-resolved captured aggregates using direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy to describe their morphological features. We show that the salivary α-synuclein aggregate/amyloid-β aggregate ratio is increased almost two-fold in Parkinson’s disease patients (n = 20) compared to controls (n = 20, p <0.05). Morphological information also provides insight with saliva from Parkinson’s disease patients containing a greater proportion of larger and more fibrillar amyloid-β aggregates than control saliva (p <0.05). Furthermore, the combination of count and morphology data provides greater diagnostic value than either measure alone distinguishing between the people with Parkinson’s disease (n = 17) and controls (n = 18) with a high degree of accuracy (AUC = 0.87, p <0.001) and a larger dynamic range. We therefore demonstrate for the first time the application of highly sensitive single molecule imaging techniques to saliva. In addition, we show that aggregates present within saliva retain relevant structural information further expanding the potential utility of saliva-based diagnostic methods.
唾液是一种方便易得的生物流体,未来有可能成为帕金森病的诊断工具。迄今为止,帕金森病的候选诊断测试主要集中在对脑脊液中的α-突触核蛋白进行测量,但仍需要利用更容易获取的样本类型进行准确测试。之前的研究利用唾液对唾液中的α-突触核蛋白进行大量测量,以提供诊断见解。聚集结构可能会影响α-突触核蛋白对疾病病理的作用。单分子方法可以确定生物流体中单个聚集体的结构特征,因此可能比批量测量更有洞察力。我们采用了一种基于抗体的单分子下拉检测法来量化唾液中的α-突触核蛋白和淀粉样β肽聚集体数量,随后使用直接随机光学重建显微镜对捕获的聚集体进行超分辨,以描述其形态特征。我们发现,与对照组(20 人)相比,帕金森病患者唾液中的α-突触核蛋白聚集体/淀粉样蛋白-β聚集体比率增加了近两倍(P <0.05)。形态学信息也提供了洞察力,帕金森病患者的唾液比对照组唾液含有更多更大更纤维化的淀粉样蛋白-β聚集体(p <0.05)。此外,计数和形态学数据的结合比单独使用其中一种方法具有更高的诊断价值,能以更高的准确度(AUC = 0.87,p <0.001)和更大的动态范围区分帕金森病患者(n = 17)和对照组(n = 18)。因此,我们首次证明了高灵敏度单分子成像技术在唾液中的应用。此外,我们还发现唾液中的聚集体保留了相关的结构信息,进一步拓展了基于唾液的诊断方法的潜在用途。

Up to half of all people with multiple sclerosis experience communication difficulties due to dysarthria, a disorder that impacts the motor aspects of speech production. Dysarthria in multiple sclerosis is linked to cerebellar dysfunction, disease severity and lesion load, but the neuroanatomical substrates of these symptoms remain unclear. In this study, 52 participants with multiple sclerosis and 14 age- and sex-matched healthy controls underwent structural and diffusion MRI, clinical assessment of disease severity and cerebellar dysfunction, and a battery of motor speech tasks. Assessments of regional brain volume and white matter integrity, and their relationships with clinical and speech measures, were undertaken. White matter tracts of interest included the interhemispheric sensorimotor tract, cerebello-thalamo-cortical tract, and arcuate fasciculus, based on their roles in motor and speech behaviours. Volumetric analyses were targeted to Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area, the corpus callosum, thalamus, and cerebellum. Our results indicated that multiple sclerosis participants scored worse on all motor speech tasks. Fixel-based diffusion MRI analyses showed significant evidence of white matter tract atrophy in each tract of interest. Correlational analyses further indicated that higher speech naturalness - a perceptual measure of dysarthria – and lower reading rate were associated with axonal damage in the interhemispheric sensorimotor tract and left arcuate fasciculus in people with multiple sclerosis. Axonal damage in all tracts of interest also correlated with clinical scales sensitive to cerebellar dysfunction. Participants with multiple sclerosis had lower volumes of the thalamus and corpus callosum compared to controls, though no brain volumetrics correlated with measures of dysarthria. These findings indicate that axonal damage, particularly when measured using diffusion metrics, underpin dysarthria in multiple sclerosis.
多发性硬化症患者中多达一半的人都会因构音障碍而出现交流困难,构音障碍是一种影响言语运动功能的疾病。多发性硬化症患者的构音障碍与小脑功能障碍、疾病严重程度和病变负荷有关,但这些症状的神经解剖学基础仍不清楚。在这项研究中,52 名多发性硬化症患者和 14 名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照者接受了结构和弥散核磁共振成像、疾病严重程度和小脑功能障碍的临床评估以及一系列运动言语任务。对区域脑容量和白质完整性及其与临床和言语测量的关系进行了评估。白质束包括半球间感觉运动束、小脑-大脑-皮层束和弓状筋束,这是因为它们在运动和言语行为中发挥作用。体积分析的对象包括布洛卡区、韦尼克区、胼胝体、丘脑和小脑。我们的结果表明,多发性硬化症患者在所有运动言语任务中的得分都较低。基于 Fixel 的弥散核磁共振成像分析表明,每个相关束中都有明显的白质束萎缩证据。相关分析进一步表明,多发性硬化症患者较高的语音自然度(构音障碍的感知测量指标)和较低的阅读率与大脑半球间感觉运动束和左侧弓状束的轴突损伤有关。所有相关束的轴突损伤还与对小脑功能障碍敏感的临床量表相关。与对照组相比,多发性硬化症患者丘脑和胼胝体的体积较小,但脑部体积与构音障碍的测量结果没有关联。这些研究结果表明,轴索损伤(尤其是使用弥散指标测量时)是多发性硬化症患者构音障碍的基础。

Abstract Studies of intracranial EEG networks have been used to reveal seizure generators in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Intracranial EEG is implanted to capture the epileptic network, the collection of brain tissue that forms a substrate for seizures to start and spread. Interictal intracranial EEG measures brain activity at baseline, and networks computed during this state can reveal aberrant brain tissue without requiring seizure recordings. Intracranial EEG network analyses require choosing a reference and applying statistical measures of functional connectivity. Approaches to these technical choices vary widely across studies, and the impact of these technical choices on downstream analyses is poorly understood. Our objective was to examine the effects of different re-referencing and connectivity approaches on connectivity results and on the ability to lateralize the seizure onset zone in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. We applied 48 pre-processing pipelines to a cohort of 125 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy recorded with interictal intracranial EEG across two epilepsy centres to generate intracranial EEG functional connectivity networks. Twenty-four functional connectivity measures across time and frequency domains were applied in combination with common average re-referencing or bipolar re-referencing. We applied an unsupervised clustering algorithm to identify groups of pre-processing pipelines. We subjected each pre-processing approach to three quality tests: (i) the introduction of spurious correlations; (ii) robustness to incomplete spatial sampling; and (iii) the ability to lateralize the clinician-defined seizure onset zone. Three groups of similar pre-processing pipelines emerged: common average re-referencing pipelines, bipolar re-referencing pipelines and relative entropy-based connectivity pipelines. Relative entropy and common average re-referencing networks were more robust to incomplete electrode sampling than bipolar re-referencing and other connectivity methods (Friedman test, Dunn–Šidák test P < 0.0001). Bipolar re-referencing reduced spurious correlations at non-adjacent channels better than common average re-referencing (Δ mean from machine ref = −0.36 versus −0.22) and worse in adjacent channels (Δ mean from machine ref = −0.14 versus −0.40). Relative entropy-based network measures lateralized the seizure onset hemisphere better than other measures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (Benjamini–Hochberg-corrected P < 0.05, Cohen’s d: 0.60–0.76). Finally, we present an interface where users can rapidly evaluate intracranial EEG pre-processing choices to select the optimal pre-processing methods tailored to specific research questions. The choice of pre-processing methods affects downstream network analyses. Choosing a single method among highly correlated approaches can reduce redundancy in processing. Relative entropy outperforms other connectivity methods in multiple quality tests. We present
摘要 颅内脑电图网络研究已被用于揭示耐药性癫痫患者的癫痫发作发生器。植入颅内脑电图可捕捉癫痫网络,即形成癫痫发作开始和扩散基质的脑组织集合。发作间期颅内脑电图测量基线时的大脑活动,在这种状态下计算出的网络可以揭示异常的脑组织,而不需要癫痫发作记录。颅内脑电图网络分析需要选择参照物并应用功能连接的统计量度。这些技术选择的方法在不同的研究中差别很大,而这些技术选择对下游分析的影响却鲜为人知。我们的目的是研究不同的再参照和连接方法对连接结果的影响,以及对耐药性癫痫患者癫痫发作起始区侧定的能力的影响。我们在两个癫痫中心对 125 名耐药性癫痫患者的发作间期颅内脑电图记录进行了 48 项预处理,以生成颅内脑电图功能连接网络。我们采用了 24 种跨时域和频域的功能连接测量方法,并结合了共同平均再参照或双极再参照。我们采用无监督聚类算法来识别预处理管道组。我们对每种预处理方法进行了三项质量测试:(i) 引入虚假相关性;(ii) 对不完整空间采样的鲁棒性;(iii) 临床医生定义的癫痫发作起始区的侧向化能力。最终形成了三组相似的预处理管道:共同平均再参照管道、双极再参照管道和基于相对熵的连接管道。与双极再参照和其他连接方法相比,相对熵和共同平均再参照网络对不完全电极取样的稳健性更高(Friedman 检验、Dunn-Šidák 检验,P < 0.0001)。双极再参照法比普通平均再参照法更好地减少了非相邻通道的虚假相关性(来自机器参照的Δ平均值=-0.36对-0.22),但在相邻通道的虚假相关性较差(来自机器参照的Δ平均值=-0.14对-0.40)。在颞叶癫痫患者中,基于相对熵的网络测量对发作起始半球的侧化效果优于其他测量(Benjamini-Hochberg 校正 P < 0.05,Cohen's d:0.60-0.76)。最后,我们提供了一个界面,用户可以通过该界面快速评估颅内脑电图预处理选择,从而根据具体研究问题选择最佳预处理方法。预处理方法的选择会影响下游网络分析。在高度相关的方法中选择一种方法可以减少处理过程中的冗余。在多项质量测试中,相对熵优于其他连接性方法。我们为研究人员提供了一种方法和界面,用于优化得出颅内脑电图脑网络的预处理方法。

The neutrophil-to-apolipoprotein A1 ratio (NAR) has emerged as a possible prognostic biomarker in different medical conditions. Nonetheless, the predictive potential of NAR in determining the 3-month prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who undergo intravenous thrombolysis has yet to be fully acknowledged. In this study, 196 AIS patients with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) and 133 healthy controls were included. Meanwhile, we incorporated a total of 386 non-thrombolytic AIS patients. The AIS patients with r-tPA were divided into four groups based on quartiles of NAR. The association between NAR and the 3-month prognosis was evaluated through univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Additionally, subgroup analyses were conducted to investigate the predictive value of NAR in different patient populations. Adverse outcomes were defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3-6. The study findings revealed a significant association between elevated NAR levels and poor prognosis in AIS patients. In the highest quartile of NAR levels (Q4), after controlling for age, gender, admission The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, blood urea nitrogen, and stroke subtypes, the odds ratio (OR) for adverse outcomes at 3-months was 13.314 (95% CI: 2.878-61.596, p = 0.001). An elevated NAR value was found to be associated with a poor prognosis in AIS patients, regardless of whether they received r-tPA treatment or not. The new model, which incorporating NAR into the conventional model, demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in discriminatory power and risk reclassification for 3-month poor outcomes in AIS patients treated with r-tPA. The new model exhibited a categorical Net Reclassification Index (NRI) (p = 0.035) of 12.9% and an Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI) (p = 0.013) of 5.2%. Subgroup analyses indicated that the predictive value of NAR differed across stroke subtypes. NAR is a potential biomarker for predicting the prognosis of AIS patients. The clinical implications of our findings are significant, as early identification and intervention in high-risk patients can improve their outcomes. However, further studies are required to validate our results and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the association between NAR and poor prognosis in AIS patients.
中性粒细胞与脂蛋白 A1 的比值(NAR)已成为不同病症的可能预后生物标志物。然而,NAR 在确定接受静脉溶栓治疗的急性缺血性脑卒中(AIS)患者 3 个月预后方面的预测潜力尚未得到充分认可。本研究纳入了196名接受重组组织浆细胞酶原激活剂(r-tPA)治疗的AIS患者和133名健康对照者。同时,我们还纳入了386名非溶栓AIS患者。根据 NAR 的四分位数将使用 r-tPA 的 AIS 患者分为四组。通过单变量和多变量回归分析评估了 NAR 与 3 个月预后之间的关系。此外,还进行了亚组分析,以研究 NAR 在不同患者群体中的预测价值。不良后果的定义是改良Rankin量表(mRS)评分为3-6分。研究结果显示,NAR水平升高与AIS患者预后不良之间存在显著关联。在 NAR 水平最高的四分位数(Q4)中,在控制了年龄、性别、入院时美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表评分、血尿素氮和卒中亚型后,3 个月后出现不良预后的几率比(OR)为 13.314(95% CI:2.878-61.596,p = 0.001)。研究发现,无论是否接受r-tPA治疗,NAR值升高都与AIS患者的不良预后有关。将 NAR 纳入传统模型的新模型在统计学上显著提高了对接受 r-tPA 治疗的 AIS 患者 3 个月不良预后的判别能力和风险再分类能力。新模型的分类净再分类指数 (NRI) (p = 0.035) 为 12.9%,综合判别改进 (IDI) (p = 0.013) 为 5.2%。亚组分析表明,NAR 的预测价值因中风亚型而异。NAR 是预测 AIS 患者预后的潜在生物标志物。我们的研究结果具有重要的临床意义,因为早期识别和干预高危患者可以改善他们的预后。然而,还需要进一步的研究来验证我们的结果,并阐明 NAR 与 AIS 患者不良预后之间关联的内在机制。

Aging and Alzheimer’s disease are associated with chronic elevations in neuronal calcium influx via L-type calcium channels. The hippocampus, a primary memory encoding structure in the brain, is more vulnerable to calcium dysregulation in Alzheimer’s disease. Recent research has suggested a link between L-type calcium channels and tau hyperphosphorylation. However, the precise mechanism of L-type calcium channel-mediated tau toxicity is not understood.

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. GTS is associated with enhanced processing of stimulus-response (S-R) associations, including a higher propensity to learn probabilistic S-R contingencies (i.e., statistical learning), the nature of which is still elusive. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that resting-state theta network organization is key for the understanding of superior statistical learning in these patients. We investigated the graph-theoretical network architecture of theta oscillations in adult patients with GTS and healthy controls (HC) during a statistical learning task, and in resting states both before and after learning. We found that patients with GTS showed a higher statistical learning score than healthy controls, as well as a more optimal (small-world-like) theta network before the task. Thus, patients with GTS had a superior facility to integrate and evaluate novel information as a trait-like characteristic. Additionally, the theta network architecture in GTS adapted more to the statistical information during the task than in HC. We suggest that hyper-learning in patients with GTS is likely a consequence of increased sensitivity to perceive and integrate sensorimotor information leveraged through theta-oscillation-based resting state dynamics. The study delineates the neural basis of a higher propensity in patients with GTS to pick up statistical contingencies in their environment. Moreover, the study emphasizes pathophysiologically endowed abilities in patients with GTS, which are often not taken into account in the perception of this common disorder but could play an important role in destigmatization.
吉勒-德拉图雷特综合征(GTS)是一种以运动和发声抽搐为特征的神经发育障碍。GTS 与刺激-反应(S-R)关联处理的增强有关,包括更倾向于学习概率性 S-R 或然事件(即统计学习),但其本质仍难以捉摸。在本研究中,我们研究了一个假设,即静息态θ网络组织是理解这些患者卓越统计学习能力的关键。我们研究了成年 GTS 患者和健康对照组(HC)在统计学习任务期间以及学习前后静息状态下的 Theta 振荡图论网络结构。我们发现,与健康对照组相比,GTS 患者的统计学习得分更高,而且在完成任务前,他们的 Theta 网络更为优化(类似于小世界)。因此,GTS 患者具有整合和评估新信息的卓越能力,这是一种特质性特征。此外,GTS患者的θ网络结构在任务过程中比HC患者更适应统计信息。我们认为,GTS 患者的超学习能力很可能是通过基于θ 振荡的静息状态动力学提高感知和整合感觉运动信息的灵敏度的结果。该研究阐明了 GTS 患者更倾向于捕捉环境中的统计偶发事件的神经基础。此外,该研究还强调了 GTS 患者的病理生理学天赋能力,这些能力在对这种常见疾病的认知中往往未被考虑在内,但却可能在去污名化过程中发挥重要作用。

Persistent infections, whether viral, bacterial or parasitic, including Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, have been implicated in non-communicable diseases, including dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. In this cross-sectional study, data on 635 cognitively normal participants from the UK Biobank study (2006-2021, age range: 40-70 y) were used to examine whether Hp seropositivity (Hps) (e.g. presence of antibodies), serointensities of five Hp antigens and a measure of total persistent infection burden were associated with selected brain volumetric structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), (total, white, gray matter, frontal gray matter (Left/Right), white matter hyperintensity as % intracranial volume and bi-lateral sub-cortical volumes) and diffusion-weighted MRI measures (global and tract-specific bi-lateral fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity), after an average 9-10 years of lag time. Persistent infection burden was calculated as a cumulative score of seropositivity of over 20 different pathogens. Multivariable-adjusted linear regression analyses were conducted, whereby selected potential confounders (all measures) and intracranial volume (sub-cortical volumes) were adjusted, with stratification by Alzheimer’s Disease polygenic risk score tertile when exposures were Hp antigen serointensities. Type I error was adjusted to 0.007. We report little evidence of an association between Hps or persistent infection burden with various volumetric outcomes (P > 0.007, from multivariable regression models), unlike previously reported in past research. However, Hp antigen serointensities, particularly immunoglobulin G against the Vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA), GroEL and Outer Membrane Protein (OMP) antigens, were associated with poorer tract-specific white matter integrity (P < 0.007), with OMP serointensity linked to worse outcomes in cognition-related tracts such as the external capsule, the anterior limb of the internal capsule and the cingulum, specifically at low Alzheimer’s Disease polygenic risk. VacA serointensity was associated with greater white matter hyperintensity volume among individuals with mid-level Alzheimer’s Disease polygenic risk, while among individuals with highest Alzheimer’s Disease polygenic risk, the urease serointensity was consistently associated with reduced bi-lateral caudate volumes and the VacA serointensity was linked to reduced Right putamen volume (P < 0.007). OMP and urease were associated with larger sub-cortical volumes (e.g. left putamen and right nucleus accumbens) at middle Alzheimer’s Disease polygenic risk levels (P < 0.007). Our results shed light on the relationship between Hps, Hp antigen levels and persistent infection burden with brain volumetric structural measures. These data are important given the links between infectious agents and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease and can be used for development of drugs and preventive interventions that would reduce t
包括幽门螺杆菌(Hp)感染在内的病毒、细菌或寄生虫等持续性感染与非传染性疾病(包括痴呆症和其他神经退行性疾病)有关。在这项横断面研究中,我们使用了英国生物库研究(2006-2021 年,年龄范围:40-70 岁)中 635 名认知能力正常的参与者的数据,以研究幽门螺杆菌血清阳性(Hps)(例如,是否存在抗体)、血清点(例如,血清中是否存在幽门螺杆菌抗体)和幽门螺杆菌感染(Hp)是否与痴呆和其他神经退行性疾病相关。抗体的存在)、五种 Hp 抗原的血清浓度和总持续感染负担的测量值是否与选定的脑体积结构磁共振成像(MRI)(总体积、白质、灰质、额叶灰质(左/右)、白质高密度(占颅内体积的百分比)和双侧皮层下体积)以及弥散加权 MRI 测量值(全局和特异性双侧分数各向异性和平均弥散率)相关(平均滞后 9-10 年)。持续感染负荷是根据 20 多种不同病原体血清阳性累积得分计算得出的。进行了多变量调整线性回归分析,对选定的潜在混杂因素(所有测量指标)和颅内容积(皮质下容积)进行了调整,当暴露于Hp抗原血清阳性时,按阿尔茨海默病多基因风险评分三等分进行分层。I型误差调整为0.007。与以往的研究不同,我们报告几乎没有证据表明 Hps 或持续感染负担与各种体积结果之间存在关联(多变量回归模型显示 P > 0.007)。然而,Hp抗原血清特异性,尤其是针对空泡细胞毒素A(VacA)、GroEL和外膜蛋白(OMP)抗原的免疫球蛋白G,与较差的特异性白质完整性相关(P < 0.007),其中OMP血清特异性与认知相关道(如外囊、内囊前缘和齿状突)的较差结果有关,特别是在阿尔茨海默病多基因低风险区。在中度阿尔茨海默病多基因风险的个体中,VacA血清密度与更大的白质高密度体积相关,而在高度阿尔茨海默病多基因风险的个体中,脲酶血清密度始终与双侧尾状体体积减少相关,而VacA血清密度与右侧丘脑体积减少相关(P < 0.007)。在阿尔茨海默病多基因风险中等水平时,OMP 和尿素酶与皮层下体积增大有关(如左侧推拿孔和右侧伏隔核)(P < 0.007)。我们的研究结果阐明了 Hps、Hp 抗原水平和持续感染负担与脑容量结构测量之间的关系。鉴于传染源与神经退行性疾病(包括阿尔茨海默病)之间的联系,这些数据非常重要,可用于开发药物和预防性干预措施,以减轻这些疾病的负担。

Tau, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, is poorly characterized in cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We aimed to assess the clinico-radiological correlations between tau PET scans and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We assessed cerebral amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau in patients with probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy (n=31) and hypertensive small vessel disease (n=27) using 11C- Pittsburgh compound B and 18F-T807 PET. Multivariable regression models were employed to assess radio-clinical features related to cerebral tau pathology in cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy exhibited a higher cerebral tau burden in the inferior temporal lobe (1.25 [1.17‒1.42] vs. 1.08 [1.05‒1.22], P<0.001) and all Braak stage regions of interest (P<0.05) than hypertensive small vessel disease, though the differences were attenuated after age adjustment. Cerebral tau pathology was significantly associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related vascular markers, including cortical superficial siderosis (β=0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.04‒0.21) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy score (β=0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.03‒0.21) after adjustment for age, ApoE4 status and whole cortex amyloid load. Tau pathology correlated significantly with cognitive score (Spearman’s ρ=-0.56, P=0.001) and hippocampal volume (-0.49, P=0.007), even after adjustment. In conclusion, tau pathology is more frequent in sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy than hypertensive small vessel disease. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related vascular pathologies, especially cortical superficial siderosis, are potential markers of cerebral tau pathology suggestive of concomitant Alzheimer’s disease.
Tau是阿尔茨海默病的特征之一,但在脑淀粉样血管病中的特征并不明显。我们旨在评估 tau PET 扫描与脑淀粉样血管病之间的临床放射学相关性。我们使用 11C- 匹兹堡化合物 B 和 18F-T807 PET 评估了可能患有脑淀粉样血管病(31 人)和高血压小血管病(27 人)的患者的脑淀粉样蛋白和高磷酸化 tau。采用多变量回归模型评估与脑淀粉样血管病中脑tau病理相关的放射临床特征。与高血压性小血管病相比,脑淀粉样血管病在颞下叶(1.25 [1.17-1.42] vs. 1.08 [1.05-1.22],P<0.001)和所有布拉克分期相关区域(P<0.05)表现出更高的脑tau负荷,但经年龄调整后差异减小。在对年龄、载脂蛋白E4状态和整个皮层淀粉样蛋白负荷进行调整后,脑tau病理学与脑淀粉样血管病变相关的血管标记物显著相关,包括皮层浅层苷脂沉积(β=0.12,95%置信区间为0.04-0.21)和脑淀粉样血管病变评分(β=0.12,95%置信区间为0.03-0.21)。即使经过调整,Tau病理与认知评分(Spearman's ρ=-0.56,P=0.001)和海马体积(-0.49,P=0.007)也有显著相关性。总之,在散发性脑淀粉样血管病中,tau病理学比高血压小血管病更常见。与脑淀粉样血管病变相关的血管病变,尤其是皮质表层菱形细胞增多症,是脑tau病变的潜在标志物,提示可能并发阿尔茨海默病。

Enlarged perivascular spaces (ePVS) have been previously reported in Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), but their significance and pathophysiology remains unclear. We investigated associations of white matter ePVS with classical imaging measures, cognitive measures and plasma proteins to better understand what ePVS represents in CADASIL and whether radiographic measures of ePVS would be of value in future therapeutic discovery studies for CADASIL. 24 individuals with CADASIL and 24 age and sex matched controls were included. Disease status was determined based on presence of NOTCH3 mutation. Brain imaging measures of white matter hyperintensity (WMH), brain parenchymal fraction (BPF), white matter ePVS volumes, clinical, and cognitive measures, as well as plasma proteomics were used in models. White matter ePVS volumes were calculated via a novel, semi-automated pipeline and levels of 7363 proteins were quantified in plasma using the SomaScan assay. The relationship of ePVS with global burden of WMH, brain atrophy, functional status, neurocognitive measures, and plasma proteins were modelled with linear regression models. CADASIL and control groups did not exhibit differences in mean ePVS volumes. However, increased ePVS volumes in CADASIL were associated with increased WMH volume (β=0.57, p = 0.05), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) Sum-of-Boxes score (β=0.49, p = 0.04), and marginally with decreased BPF (β=-0.03, p = 0.10). In interaction term models, the interaction term between CADASIL disease status and ePVS volume was associated with increased WMH volume (β=0.57, p = 0.02), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) Sum-of-Boxes score (β=0.52, p = 0.02), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (β=-1.49, p = 0.03) and marginally with decreased BPF (β=-0.03, p = 0.07). Proteins positively associated with ePVS volumes were found to be related to leukocyte migration and inflammation, while negatively associated proteins were related to lipid metabolism. Two central hub proteins were identified in protein networks associated with ePVS volumes: CXC motif chemokine ligand 8/interleukin-8 (CXCL8/IL-8), and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (CCL2/MCP-1). The levels of CXCL8/IL8 were also associated with increased WMH volume (β=42.86, p = 0.03), and levels of CCL2/MCP-1 were further associated with decreased BPF (β=-0.0007, p < 0.01), MMSE score (β=-0.02, p < 0.01), and increased Trail Making Test B (TRAILB) completion time (β=0.76, p < 0.01). No protein was associated with all 3 studied imaging measures of pathology (BPF, ePVS, WMH). Based on associations uncovered between ePVS volumes and cognitive functions, imaging and plasma proteins, we conclude that white matter ePVS volumes may capture pathologies contributing to chronic brain dysfunction and degeneration in CADASIL.
以前曾有报道称脑常染色体显性动脉病伴皮层下梗死和白质脑病(CADASIL)患者的血管周围间隙(ePVS)增大,但其意义和病理生理学仍不清楚。我们研究了白质ePVS与经典成像测量、认知测量和血浆蛋白的关联,以更好地了解ePVS在CADASIL中的代表意义,以及ePVS的放射学测量在未来CADASIL的治疗发现研究中是否有价值。研究对象包括 24 名 CADASIL 患者和 24 名年龄和性别匹配的对照组患者。根据是否存在NOTCH3突变确定疾病状态。模型中使用了脑成像测量白质高密度(WMH)、脑实质分数(BPF)、白质ePVS体积、临床和认知测量以及血浆蛋白质组学。白质ePVS体积是通过一个新颖的半自动化管道计算出来的,血浆中7363种蛋白质的水平是通过SomaScan检测法量化的。ePVS 与 WMH 整体负担、脑萎缩、功能状态、神经认知指标和血浆蛋白的关系通过线性回归模型进行建模。CADASIL组和对照组的平均ePVS体积没有差异。然而,CADASIL患者ePVS体积的增加与WMH体积增加(β=0.57,p=0.05)、临床痴呆评级(CDR)方框总和评分(β=0.49,p=0.04)相关,与BPF的降低略有关联(β=-0.03,p=0.10)。在交互项模型中,CADASIL 疾病状态与 ePVS 体积之间的交互项与 WMH 体积增加(β=0.57,p = 0.02)、临床痴呆评级(CDR)方框总和评分(β=0.52,p = 0.02)、迷你精神状态检查(MMSE)评分(β=-1.49,p = 0.03)相关,与 BPF 下降略有关联(β=-0.03,p = 0.07)。研究发现,与 ePVS 体积呈正相关的蛋白质与白细胞迁移和炎症有关,而呈负相关的蛋白质则与脂质代谢有关。在与 ePVS 体积相关的蛋白质网络中发现了两个中心枢纽蛋白:CXC motif趋化因子配体8/白细胞介素-8(CXCL8/IL-8)和C-C motif趋化因子配体2/单核细胞趋化蛋白1(CCL2/MCP-1)。CXCL8/IL8的水平还与WMH体积增加有关(β=42.86,p = 0.03),CCL2/MCP-1的水平进一步与BPF下降(β=-0.0007,p < 0.01)、MMSE评分(β=-0.02,p < 0.01)和Trail Making Test B(TRAILB)完成时间增加(β=0.76,p < 0.01)有关。没有一种蛋白质与所有 3 种病理成像指标(BPF、ePVS 和 WMH)相关。根据ePVS体积与认知功能、成像和血浆蛋白之间的关联,我们得出结论:白质ePVS体积可能捕捉到导致CADASIL慢性脑功能障碍和退化的病理变化。

We investigated associations of white matter ePVS with classical imaging measures, cognitive measures and plasma proteins to better understand what ePVS represents in CADASIL and whether radiographic measures of ePVS would be of value in future therapeutic discovery studies for CADASIL. 24 individuals with CADASIL and 24 age and sex matched controls were included. Disease status was determined based on presence of NOTCH3 mutation. Brain imaging measures of white matter hyperintensity (WMH), brain parenchymal fraction (BPF), white matter ePVS volumes, clinical, and cognitive measures, as well as plasma proteomics were used in models. White matter ePVS volumes were calculated via a novel, semi-automated pipeline and levels of 7363 proteins were quantified in plasma using the SomaScan assay. The relationship of ePVS with global burden of WMH, brain atrophy, functional status, neurocognitive measures, and plasma proteins were modelled with linear regression models. CADASIL and control groups did not exhibit differences in mean ePVS volumes. However, increased ePVS volumes in CADASIL were associated with increased WMH volume (β=0.57, p = 0.05), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) Sum-of-Boxes score (β=0.49, p = 0.04), and marginally with decreased BPF (β=-0.03, p = 0.10). In interaction term models, the interaction term between CADASIL disease status and ePVS volume was associated with increased WMH volume (β=0.57, p = 0.02), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) Sum-of-Boxes score (β=0.52, p = 0.02), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (β=-1.49, p = 0.03) and marginally with decreased BPF (β=-0.03, p = 0.07). Proteins positively associated with ePVS volumes were found to be related to leukocyte migration and inflammation, while negatively associated proteins were related to lipid metabolism. Two central hub proteins were identified in protein networks associated with ePVS volumes: CXC motif chemokine ligand 8/interleukin-8 (CXCL8/IL-8), and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (CCL2/MCP-1). The levels of CXCL8/IL8 were also associated with increased WMH volume (β=42.86, p = 0.03), and levels of CCL2/MCP-1 were further associated with decreased BPF (β=-0.0007, p < 0.01), MMSE score (β=-0.02, p < 0.01), and increased Trail Making Test B (TRAILB) completion time (β=0.76, p < 0.01). No protein was associated with all 3 studied imaging measures of pathology (BPF, ePVS, WMH). Based on associations uncovered between ePVS volumes and cognitive functions, imaging and plasma proteins, we conclude that white matter ePVS volumes may capture pathologies contributing to chronic brain dysfunction and degeneration in CADASIL.","PeriodicalId":9318,"journal":{"name":"Brain Communications","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140076790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
