Potential blood biomarkers for chronic traumatic encephalopathy: the multi-omics landscape of an observational cohort (serum-free RNA microarray data)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with exposure to repetitive head impacts, which is susceptible in elderly people with declined mobility, athletes of full contact sports, military personnel and victims of domestic violence. It has been pathologically diagnosed in brain donors with a history of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI), but cannot be clinically diagnosed for a long time. By the continuous efforts by neuropathologists, neurologists and neuroscientists in recent 10 years, an expert consensus for the diagnostic framework of CTE was proposed in 2021 funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The new consensus contributes to facilitating research in the field. However, it still needs to incorporate in-vivo biomarkers to further refine and validate the clinical diagnostic criteria. From this, a single-center, observational cohort study has been being conducted by Tianjin Medical University General Hospital since 2021. As a pilot study of this clinical trial, the present research recruited 4 pairs of gender- and age-matched rmTBI patients with healthy subjects. Their blood samples were collected for exosome isolation, and multi-omics screening to explore potential diagnostic biomarkers in blood and its exosomes.
