Association of plasma biomarkers, p-tau181, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and neurofilament light, with intermediate and long-term clinical Alzheimer's disease risk: Results from a prospective cohort followed over 17 years

Hannah Stocker et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between blood biomarkers and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. It found that GFAP may be an early biomarker for AD, while p-tau181 and NfL are associated with intermediate risk. The impact of cardiovascular health on p-tau181 and NfL should be considered in risk stratification.

Inge M. W. Verberk et al.

Summary: Pre-analytical sample handling can impact Alzheimer's disease blood-based biomarkers. Different collection tube types resulted in varying values of assessed markers, with delayed centrifugation and storage affecting A beta and t-tau. Standardized operating procedures for plasma handling were constructed to facilitate the incorporation of blood-based biomarkers into research and clinical settings.

Time course of phosphorylated-tau181 in blood across the Alzheimer's disease spectrum

Alexis Moscoso et al.

Summary: Measurement of tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181) in blood plasma is proposed as a specific biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. Longitudinal study reveals that plasma p-tau181 increases before amyloid-beta markers reach abnormal levels, correlating with amyloid-beta pathology. Plasma p-tau181 also shows associations with widespread cortical tau aggregation and may be a useful diagnostic and screening tool for Alzheimer's disease.

Current advances in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease

Antoine Leuzy et al.

Summary: Recent advances in CSF and blood-based biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease lesions include the introduction of fully automated assays, certified reference materials for CSF A beta 42, and a unified protocol for sample handling. These developments support the reliability and availability of biomarkers, such as A beta, P-tau, and NfL, in both CSF and blood, with potential applications in clinical practice and trials.

Longitudinal Associations of Blood Phosphorylated Tau181 and Neurofilament Light Chain With Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer Disease

Alexis Moscoso et al.

Summary: This study found that plasma p-tau181 could serve as a marker for predicting and monitoring neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, with greater AD specificity compared to plasma NfL, holding important implications for monitoring AD progression in clinical practice and treatment trials.

Plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein is elevated in cognitively normal older adults at risk of Alzheimer's disease

Pratishtha Chatterjee et al.

Summary: The study found that plasma GFAP levels are elevated in cognitively normal older adults at risk of AD, indicating that astrocytic damage or activation may start from the pre-symptomatic stage of the disease and is associated with brain Aβ load. The potential of plasma GFAP to contribute to a diagnostic blood biomarker panel, along with plasma Aβ 1-42/Aβ 1-40 ratios, for cognitively normal older adults at risk of AD was highlighted by the observations from the present study.

Plasma phosphorylated tau181 and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease

Oskar Hansson et al.

Summary: The study found that high plasma tau levels were associated with hypometabolism and cortical atrophy, and these associations were observed only in Aβ-positive participants. Plasma phosphorylated tau may help identify and track processes linked to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.

Soluble P-tau217 reflects amyloid and tau pathology and mediates the association of amyloid with tau

Niklas Mattsson-Carlgren et al.

Summary: Plasma levels of phospho-tau217 (P-tau217) accurately differentiate Alzheimer's disease dementia from other dementias, with increasing levels reflecting both beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The correlation between P-tau217 concentrations and beta-amyloid PET is stronger in early disease stages, while in late stages, there is a stronger correlation with both beta-amyloid and tau PET results. P-tau217 mediates the association between beta-amyloid and tau, especially for tau outside of the medial temporal lobe.

Plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease improve prediction of cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired elderly populations

Nicholas C. Cullen et al.

Summary: Plasma biomarkers of amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration (ATN) can predict clinical deterioration in cognitively unimpaired elderly individuals. A combination of these biomarkers in plasma can reduce the required sample size in clinical trials, making them more feasible and cost-effective while improving efficacy.
