Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This study examines the utility of a multipanel of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers complementing Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in a clinical research sample. We compared biomarkers across groups defined by clinical diagnosis and pTau181 /Aβ42 status (+/-) and explored their value in predicting cognition. METHODS: CSF biomarkers amyloid beta (Aβ)42 , pTau181 , tTau, Aβ40 , neurogranin, neurofilament light (NfL), α-synuclein, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2), S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B), and interleukin 6 (IL6), were measured with the NeuroToolKit (NTK) for 720 adults ages 40 to 93 years (mean age = 63.9 years, standard deviation [SD] = 9.0; 50 with dementia; 54 with mild cognitive impairment [MCI], 616 unimpaired). RESULTS: Neurodegeneration and glial activation biomarkers were elevated in pTau181 /Aβ42 + MCI/dementia participants relative to all pTau181 /Aβ42 - participants. Neurodegeneration biomarkers increased with clinical severity among pTau181 /Aβ42 + participants and predicted worse cognitive performance. Glial activation biomarkers were unrelated to cognitive performance. DISCUSSION: The NTK contains promising markers that improve the pathophysiological characterization of AD. Neurodegeneration biomarkers beyond tTau improved statistical prediction of cognition and disease stages.
