BACKGROUND: While the temporal profile of amyloid (Aβ) and tau cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers along the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum is well-studied, chronological changes of CSF proteins reflecting other disease-relevant processes, denoted 'X' in the ATX(N) framework, remain poorly understood.
METHODS: Using an untargeted mass spectrometric approach termed tandem mass tag (TMT), we quantified over 1500 CSF proteins across the AD continuum in three independent cohorts, finely staged by Aβ/tau positron emission tomography (PET), fluid biomarkers, or brain biopsy. Weighted protein co-expression network analysis identified clusters of proteins robustly correlating in all three cohorts which sequentially changed with AD progression. Obtained protein clusters were correlated with fluid biomarker measurements (phosphorylated tau (p-tau) species including p-tau181, p-tau217, and p-tau205, as well as Aβ), Aβ/tau PET imaging, and clinical parameters to discern disease-relevant clusters which were modelled across the AD continuum.
RESULTS: Neurodegeneration-related proteins (e.g., 14-3-3 proteins, PPIA), derived from different brain cell types, strongly correlated with fluid as well as imaging biomarkers and increased early in the AD continuum. Among them, the proteins SMOC1 and CNN3 were highly associated with Aβ pathology, while the 14-3-3 proteins YWHAZ and YWHAE as well as PPIA demonstrated a strong association with both Aβ and tau pathology as indexed by PET. Endo-lysosomal proteins (e.g., HEXB, TPP1, SIAE) increased early in abundance alongside neurodegeneration-related proteins, and were followed by increases in metabolic proteins such as ALDOA, MDH1, and GOT1 at the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage. Finally, later AD stages were characterized by decreases in synaptic/membrane proteins (e.g., NPTX2).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study identified proxies of Aβ and tau pathology, indexed by PET, (SMOC1, YWHAE, CNN3) and highlighted the dynamic fluctuations of the CSF proteome over the disease course, identifying candidate biomarkers for disease staging beyond Aβ and tau.
