Shotgun-based Proteomics of Extracellular Vesicles in Alzheimer’s Disease Reveals Biomarkers Involved in Immunological and Coagulation Pathways
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) is the most common form of dementia and without readily available clinical biomarkers. Blood-derived proteins are routinely used for diagnostics, however, comprehensive plasma profiling is challenging due to the large dynamic range in protein concentrations. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can cross the blood-brain barrier and may provide a source for AD related biomarkers. We investigated plasma-derived EV proteins for biomarkers towards AD diagnostics from 10 AD patients, 10 Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients, and 9 healthy controls (Con) using liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). EV enrichment was performed using a double centrifugation of 100,000 × g, 1h, 4°C with a wash of the pellet. Some AD patients presented with highly elevated FXIIIA1 (log2 FC: 4.6, p-value: 0.005) and FXIIIB (log2 FC: 4.9, p-value: 0.018). A group of proteins was identified discriminating Con and AD (AUC: 0.91, CI: 0.67-1.00) with ORM2 (AUC: 1.00, CI: 1.00-1.00), RBP4 (AUC: 0.99, CI: 0.95-1.00), and HYDIN (AUC: 0.89, CI: 0.72-1.00) found especially relevant for AD. This indicates that EVs provide an easily accessible matrix for possible biomarkers for AD. Some of the MCI patients, with similar protein profiles as the AD group progressed to AD within a 2-year timespan.
