Decreased ratios of matrix metalloproteinases to tissue-type inhibitors in cerebrospinal fluid in sporadic and hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the potential of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue-type inhibitors (MMP; TIMP), and ratios of MMPs to TIMPs, to function as biomarkers for sporadic or hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).

Methods

CSF concentrations of the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-14, as well as the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3, were determined using immunoassays. These assays were applied to two, independent study groups of sporadic CAA (sCAA) (n = 28/43) and control subjects (n = 40/40), as well as to groups of pre-symptomatic (n = 11) and symptomatic hereditary Dutch-CAA (D-CAA) patients (n = 12), and age-matched controls (n = 22/28, respectively).

Results

In the sCAA/control cohorts, inconsistent differences were found for individual MMPs and TIMPs, but MMP-2/TIMP-2 (discovery/validation: p = 0.004; p = 0.02) and MMP-14/TIMP-2 ratios (discovery/validation: p < 0.001; p = 0.04) were consistently decreased in sCAA, compared to controls. Moreover, MMP-14 was decreased in symptomatic D-CAA (p = 0.03), compared to controls. The MMP-14/TIMP-1 (p = 0.03) and MMP-14/TIMP-2 (p = 0.04) ratios were decreased in symptomatic D-CAA compared to controls and also compared to pre-symptomatic D-CAA (p = 0.004; p = 0.005, respectively).

Conclusion

CSF MMP-2/TIMP-2 and MMP-14/TIMP-2 were consistently decreased in sCAA, compared to controls. Additionally, MMP-14/TIMP-2 levels were also decreased in symptomatic D-CAA, compared to both pre-symptomatic D-CAA and controls, and can therefore be considered a biomarker for sporadic and late-stage hereditary forms of CAA.

Project description:Background and Purpose- Magnetic resonance imaging visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (CSO-PVS) have been associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).We aimed to further confirm this link by evaluating CSO-PVS volume in pathologically-demonstrated sporadic and genetically-demonstrated hereditary forms of the disease. Methods- We studied a retrospective hospital-based cohort consisting of 63 individuals aged >55 having brain magnetic resonance imaging and pathological assessment of CAA (mean age, 73.6±8.5; 46% female), and a separate cohort consisting of 26 carriers, and 28 noncarriers of the hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type (mean age, 46.7±12.8; 61.1% female). CSO-PVS volume was quantified on a single magnetic resonance imaging slice using a computer-assisted segmentation method and expressed as the relative volume of the intracranial volume in that particular slice (CSO-PVS relative volume). We compared CSO-PVS relative volume (1) between subjects with and without the disease in both cohorts; (2) between non-CAA, CAA without hemorrhage, and CAA with hemorrhage cases in the sporadic CAA cohort. All variables reaching P<0.1 in bivariate analyses were entered in logistic regression models. Results- In both sporadic and Dutch cohorts, cases with CAA had significantly higher CSO-PVS relative volume than cases without (median [IQR]: 3.7% [2.5-5.3] versus 1.8% [1.2-2.4], P<0.0001; 3.8% [0.6-6.2] versus 0.7% [0.4-1.6], P=0.007; respectively). In linear regression models, sporadic CAA was associated with higher CSO-PVS relative volume ( P=0.008). In the sporadic CAA cohort, compared with non-CAA cases, CSO-PVS relative volume was higher in both CAA with hemorrhage and without hemorrhage (4.4% [2.6-6.1] and 3% [2.4-3.6] versus 1.8% [1.2-2.4], P<0.001 and P=0.005, respectively). Higher CSO-PVS relative volume was associated with CAA in regression models, both when hemorrhage was present (odds ratio, 2.63; [95% confidence interval, 1.33-5.18]; P=0.005) and absent (odds ratio, 4.55; [95% confidence interval, 0.98-21.04]; P=0.05). Conclusions- Increased CSO-PVS volume is a consistent magnetic resonance imaging marker of cerebrovascular amyloid deposition and a promising diagnostic tool for sporadic CAA without hemorrhagic manifestations.
