Abstract | Alzheimer’s disease cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers 42 amino acid long amyloid-β peptide (Aβ1-42), total tau protein (T-tau), and tau protein phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau181) are considered surrogate biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease pathology, and significantly improve diagnostic accuracy. Their ability to reflect neuropathological changes later in the disease course is not well characterized. This study aimed to assess the potential of CSF biomarkers measured in mid- to late-stage Alzheimer’s disease to reflect post mortem neuropathological changes. Individuals were selected from 2 autopsy cohorts of Alzheimer’s disease patients in Antwerp and Amsterdam. Neuropathological diagnosis was performed according to the updated consensus National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer’s Association guidelines by Montine et al, which includes quantification of amyloid beta plaque, neurofibrillary tangle, and neuritic plaque load. CSF samples were analyzed for Aβ1-42, T-tau, and P-tau181 by ELISA. 114 cases of pure definite Alzheimer’s disease were included in the study (mean age 74 years, disease duration 6 years at CSF sampling, 50% females). Median interval between CSF sampling and death was one year. We found no association between Aβ1-42 and Alzheimer’s disease neuropathological change profile. In contrast, an association of P-tau181 and T-tau with Alzheimer’s disease neuropathological change profile was observed. P-tau181 was associated with all three individual Montine scores, and the associations became stronger and more significant as the interval between lumbar puncture and death increased. T-tau was also associated with all three Montine scores, but in individuals with longer intervals from lumbar puncture to death only. Stratification of the cohort according to APOE ε4 carrier status revealed that the associations applied mostly to APOE ε4 non-carriers. Our data suggest that similarly to what has been reported for Aβ1-42, plateau levels of P-tau181 and T-tau are reached during the disease course, albeit ... |
