CSF proteome profiling across the Alzheimer's disease spectrum reflects the multifactorial nature of the disease and identifies specific biomarker panels.

ABSTRACT: Development of disease-modifying therapies against Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires biomarkers reflecting the diverse pathological pathways specific for AD. We measured 665 proteins in 797 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with mild cognitive impairment with abnormal amyloid (MCI(Aβ+): n = 50), AD-dementia (n = 230), non-AD dementias (n = 322) and cognitively unimpaired controls (n = 195) using proximity ligation-based immunoassays. Here we identified >100 CSF proteins dysregulated in MCI(Aβ+) or AD compared to controls or non-AD dementias. Proteins dysregulated in MCI(Aβ+) were primarily related to protein catabolism, energy metabolism and oxidative stress, whereas those specifically dysregulated in AD dementia were related to cell remodeling, vascular function and immune system. Classification modeling unveiled biomarker panels discriminating clinical groups with high accuracies (area under the curve (AUC): 0.85-0.99), which were translated into custom multiplex assays and validated in external and independent cohorts (AUC: 0.8-0.99). Overall, this study provides novel pathophysiological leads delineating the multifactorial nature of AD and potential biomarker tools for diagnostic settings or clinical trials.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified many genetic risk loci for dementia, but exact biological mechanisms through which genetic risk factors contribute to dementia remains unclear. Integrating CSF proteomic data with dementia risk loci could reveal intermediate molecular pathways connecting genetic variance to the development of dementia. We tested to what extent effects of known dementia risk loci can be observed in CSF levels of 665 proteins [proximity extension-based (PEA) immunoassays] in a deeply-phenotyped mixed memory clinic cohort [n = 502, mean age (standard deviation, SD) = 64.1 (8.7) years, 181 female (35.4%)], including patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD, n = 213), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB, n = 50) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD, n = 93), and controls (n = 146). Validation was assessed in independent cohorts (n = 99 PEA platform, n = 198, mass reaction monitoring-targeted mass spectroscopy and multiplex assay). We performed additional analyses stratified according to diagnostic status (AD, DLB, FTD and controls separately), to explore whether associations between CSF proteins and genetic variants were specific to disease or not. We identified four AD risk loci as protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL): CR1-CR2 (rs3818361, P = 1.65 × 10-8), ZCWPW1-PILRB (rs1476679, P = 2.73 × 10-32), CTSH-CTSH (rs3784539, P = 2.88 × 10-24) and HESX1-RETN (rs186108507, P = 8.39 × 10-8), of which the first three pQTLs showed direct replication in the independent cohorts. We identified one AD-specific association between a rare genetic variant of TREM2 and CSF IL6 levels (rs75932628, P = 3.90 × 10-7). DLB risk locus GBA showed positive trans effects on seven inter-related CSF levels in DLB patients only. No pQTLs were identified for FTD loci, either for the total sample as for analyses performed within FTD only. Protein QTL variants were involved in the immune system, highlighting the importance of this system in the pathophysiology of dementia. We further identified pQTLs in stratified analyses for AD and DLB, hinting at disease-specific pQTLs in dementia. Dissecting the contribution of risk loci to neurobiological processes aids in understanding disease mechanisms underlying dementia.
