A/T/(N) Profile in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Parkinson's Disease with/without Cognitive Impairment and Dementia with Lewy Bodies.


ABSTRACT: Neuropathological investigations report that in synucleinopathies with dementia, namely Parkinson's disease (PD) with dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), the histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), in particular amyloid plaques, are frequently observed. In this study, we investigated the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers in different clinical phenotypes of synucleinopathies. CSF A?42/A?40 ratio, phosphorylated tau and total tau were measured as markers of amyloidosis (A), tauopathy (T) and neurodegeneration (N) respectively, in 98 PD (48 with mild cognitive impairment, PD-MCI; 50 cognitively unimpaired, PD-nMCI), 14 PDD and 15 DLB patients, and 48 neurological controls (CTRL). In our study, CSF AD biomarkers did not significantly differ between CTRL, PD-MCI and PD-nMCI patients. In PD-nMCI and PD-MCI groups, A-/T-/N- profile was the most represented. Prevalence of A+ was similar in PD-nMCI and PD-MCI (10% and 13%, respectively), being higher in PDD (64%) and in DLB (73%). DLB showed the lowest values of A?42/A?40 ratio. Higher total tau at baseline predicted a worse neuropsychological outcome after one year in PD-MCI. A+/T+, i.e., AD-like CSF profile, was most frequent in the DLB group (40% vs. 29% in PDD).
