Non-linear Character of Plasma Amyloid Beta Over the Course of Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s Continuum
Plasma amyloid-β (Aβ) was associated with brain Aβ deposition and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development. However, changes of plasma Aβ over the course of cognitive decline in the Alzheimer’s continuum remained uncertain. We recruited 449 participants to this study, including normal controls (NC), sub...

description | Plasma amyloid-β (Aβ) was associated with brain Aβ deposition and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development. However, changes of plasma Aβ over the course of cognitive decline in the Alzheimer’s continuum remained uncertain. We recruited 449 participants to this study, including normal controls (NC), subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), AD, and non-AD dementia. All the participants underwent plasma Aβ42, Aβ40, and t-tau measurements with single-molecule array (Simoa) immunoassay and PET scan with 18F-florbetapir amyloid tracer. In the subgroup of Aβ-PET positive, plasma Aβ42 and Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio was significantly lower in AD than NC, SCD and MCI, yet SCD had significantly higher levels of plasma Aβ42 than both NC and MCI. In the diagnostic groups of MCI and dementia, participants with Aβ-PET positive had lower plasma Aβ42 and Aβ42/40 ratio than participants with Aβ-PET negative, and the increasing levels of plasma Aβ42 and Aβ42/40 ratio indicated lower risks of Aβ-PET positive. However, in the participants with SCD, plasma Aβ42 and Aβ40 were higher in the subgroup of Aβ-PET positive than Aβ-PET negative, and the increasing levels of plasma Aβ42 and Aβ40 indicated higher risks of Aβ-PET positive. No significant association was observed between plasma Aβ and Aβ-PET status in normal controls. These findings showed that, in the continuum of AD, plasma Aβ42 had a significantly increasing trend from NC to SCD before decreasing in MCI and AD. Furthermore, the predictive values of plasma Aβ for brain amyloid deposition were inconsistent over the course of cognitive decline. |
