Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 interactions with Alzheimer's disease biomarkers.

ABSTRACT: Plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) have been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and brain atrophy. Some evidence suggests a potential synergistic effect of IGFBP-2 and AD neuropathology on neurodegeneration, while other evidence suggests the effect of IGFBP-2 on neurodegeneration is independent of AD neuropathology. Therefore, the current study investigated the interaction between plasma IGFBP-2 and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD neuropathology on hippocampal volume and cognitive function. AD Neuroimaging Initiative data were accessed (n = 354, 75 ± 7 years, 38 % female), including plasma IGFBP-2, CSF total tau, CSF A?-42, MRI-quantified hippocampal volume, and neuropsychological performances. Mixed effects regression models evaluated the interaction between IGFBP-2 and AD biomarkers on hippocampal volume and neuropsychological performance, adjusting for age, sex, education, APOE ?4 status, and cognitive diagnosis. A baseline interaction between IGFBP-2 and CSF A?-42 was observed in relation to left (t(305) = -6.37, p = 0.002) and right hippocampal volume (t(305) = -7.74, p = 0.001). In both cases, higher IGFBP-2 levels were associated with smaller hippocampal volumes but only among amyloid negative individuals. The observed interaction suggests IGFBP-2 drives neurodegeneration through a separate pathway independent of AD neuropathology.

Project description:To characterize predictors of insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 in acute critical illness with the hypothesis that acute factors associated with critical illness will more strongly predict circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 than chronic clinical or genetic factors.Observational study nested within a large prospective study using multivariable linear regression to model circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 with acute and chronic clinical variables, and genotype from five polymorphisms in insulin-like growth factor pathway genes.ICUs from two large academic medical centers.Five hundred forty-three Caucasian patients with risk factors for acute respiratory distress syndrome and available plasma from early in critical illness.None.Total insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 were measured in plasma using IMMULITE assays (Siemens, Malvern, PA). We examined age, gender, body mass index, cirrhosis, and diabetes, as well as Acute Physiology, Age, and Chronic Health Evaluation III score, acute hepatic dysfunction, pneumonia and aspiration, sepsis/septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and receipt of corticosteroids. Body mass index, cirrhosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome were strongly associated with insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 levels; Acute Physiology, Age, and Chronic Health Evaluation III was strongly associated with insulin-like growth factor-1 levels; and age was strongly associated with insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3. Five polymorphisms (IGF1: rs1520220, rs35767, rs2946834; IGFBP1: rs4619; IGFBP3: rs2854746) were analyzed for associations with plasma levels. When genotypes were added to models, rs2854746 was significantly associated with plasma insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3. Genotype explained an additional 2% of variability with an overall adjusted R-square of 0.18.Despite the acute derangements of critical illness, both acute and chronic health factors significantly influence circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 early in critical illness. rs2854746 is also significantly associated with insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 levels in this ICU cohort. Overall, phenotypic and genotypic factors explained only a modest amount of variability in insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3. Further research is needed to understand how to apply these findings to patient care.
