Plasma contact factors as novel biomarkers for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and most of AD patients suffer from vascular abnormalities and neuroinflammation. There is an urgent need to develop novel blood biomarkers capable of diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) at very early stage. This study was performed to find out new accurate plasma diagnostic biomarkers for AD by investigating a direct relationship between plasma contact system and AD.

Methods

A total 101 of human CSF and plasma samples from normal and AD patients were analyzed. The contact factor activities in plasma were measured with the corresponding specific peptide substrates.

Results

The activities of contact factors (FXIIa, FXIa, plasma kallikrein) and FXa clearly increased and statistically correlated as AD progresses. We present here, for the first time, the FXIIa cut-off scores to as: >?26.3?U/ml for prodromal AD [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.783, p ?27.2?U/ml for AD dementia (AUC = 0.906, p 1-42 versus the contact factors. Of these, the representative ratio cut-off scores of A?1-42/FXIIa were to be: ConclusionThe activation of plasma contact system is closely associated with clinical stage of AD, and FXIIa activity as well as the cut-off scores of CSF A?1-42/FXIIa can be used as novel accurate diagnostic AD biomarkers.
