CSF neurogranin levels as a biomarker in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration: a cross-sectional analysis

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background There is initial evidence suggesting that biomarker neurogranin (Ng) may distinguish Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from other neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, we assessed (a) the discriminant ability of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Ng levels to distinguish between AD and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) pathology and between different stages within the same disease, (b) the relationship between Ng levels and cognitive performance in both AD and FTLD pathology, and (c) whether CSF Ng levels vary by apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism in the AD continuum. Methods Participants with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) (n = 33), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) due to AD (n = 109), AD dementia (n = 67), MCI due to FTLD (n = 25), and FTLD dementia (n = 29) were recruited from the Czech Brain Aging Study. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) assessed Ng levels in diagnostic subgroups. Linear regressions evaluated the relationship between CSF Ng levels, memory scores, and APOE polymorphism. Results Ng levels were higher in aMCI-AD patients compared to MCI-FTLD (F[1, 134] = 15.16, p < .001), and in AD-dementia compared to FTLD-dementia (F[1, 96] = 4.60, p = .029). Additionally, Ng levels were higher in FTLD-dementia patients compared to MCI-FTLD (F[1, 54]= 4.35, p = .034), lower in SCD participants compared to aMCI-AD (F[1, 142] = 10.72, p = .001) and AD-dementia (F[1, 100] = 20.90, p < .001), and did not differ between SCD participants and MCI-FTLD (F[1, 58]= 1.02, p = .491) or FTLD-dementia (F[1, 62]= 2.27, p = .051). The main effect of diagnosis across the diagnostic subgroups on Aβ1−42/Ng ratio was significant too (F[4, 263]=, p < .001). We found a non-significant association between Ng levels and memory scores overall (β=-0.25, p = .154) or in AD diagnostic subgroups, and non-significant differences in this association between overall AD APOE ε4 carriers and non-carriers (β=-0.32, p = .358). Conclusions In this first study to-date to assess MCI and dementia due to AD or FTLD within one study, elevated CSF Ng appears to be an early biomarker of AD-related impairment, but its role as a biomarker appears to diminish after dementia diagnosis, whereby dementia-related underlying processes in AD and FTLD may begin to merge. The Aβ1−42/Ng ratio discriminated AD from FTLD patients better than Ng alone. CSF Ng levels were not related to memory in AD or FTLD, suggesting that Ng may be a marker of the biological signs of disease state rather than cognitive deficits.
