概括

β-粉样蛋白 (Aβ) 沉积加速了老年人,特别是女性的白质超强度 (WMHs). 然而,白质变性不会影响Aβ的增加,而tau病理学显示没有与WMHs的联系.

科学领域:

神经科学是一个神经科学.
神经学神经学
放射学放射学是一门学科.

背景情况:

大脑白质变性,导致白质强度过高 (WMHs),与脑血管疾病和阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 病理有关.
新出现的证据表明,白质变性可能会先于或影响AD病理的发展.
在体内AD病理 (β-粉样蛋白[Aβ]和tau) 和WMHs之间的确切影响方向需要澄清.

研究的目的:

纵向研究老年人体内Aβ和tau沉积和白质超强度 (WMHs) 之间的因果关系.
为了确定AD病理是否影响WMH进展,或者WMH是否在AD病理发展之前.

主要方法:

从韩国大脑衰老研究中招募了282名老年人,用于早期诊断和预测阿尔茨海默病 (KBASE) 队列.
使用[11C]匹兹堡化合物B PET用于Aβ,[18F]AV-1451 PET用于tau,以及MRI用于WMH体积测量.
采用多重线性回归来分析基线AD病态和WMH体积与2年的纵向变化相关的基线AD病态.

主要成果:

基线Aβ沉积与2年内WMH体积增加正相关,但基线WMH体积没有预测纵向Aβ或tau变化.
观察到基线Aβ沉积和性别之间的显著相互作用,Aβ主要在女性中驱动WMH增加.
在tau沉积和WMH体积变化在任何方向之间都没有发现显著的关联.

结论:

Aβ沉积加速大脑WMHs,特别是在女性中,而WMH进展似乎没有影响纵向Aβ增加.
该研究没有发现tau沉积和WMHs之间双向关系的证据.
研究结果强调了Aβ在白质变性中的作用,在衰老和AD的背景下,具有性别特异性影响.

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Long-term Depression

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Amyloid Fibrils

Amyloid Fibrils

Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins. Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils.
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...
