Background:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-\u03b242 peptide (A\u03b242) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and blood p-tau are valuable for differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from cognitively normal (CN) there is a lack of validated biomarkers for mild cognitive impairment (MCI).<\/p>\n

Objective:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>This study sought to determine how plasma and CSF protein markers compared in the characterization of MCI and AD status.<\/p>\n

Methods:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>This cohort study included Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) participants who had baseline levels of 75 proteins measured commonly in plasma and CSF (257 total, 46 CN, 143 MCI, and 68 AD). Logistic regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Random Forest (RF) methods were used to identify the protein candidates for the disease classification.<\/p>\n

Results:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>We observed that six plasma proteins panel (APOE, AMBP, C3, IL16, IGFBP2, APOD) outperformed the seven CSF proteins panel (VEGFA, HGF, PRL, FABP3, FGF4, CD40, RETN) as well as AD markers (CSF p-tau and A\u03b242) to distinguish the MCI from AD [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.75 (plasma proteins), AUC = 0.60 (CSF proteins) and AUC = 0.56 (CSF p-tau and A\u03b242)]. Also, these six plasma proteins performed better than the CSF proteins and were in line with CSF p-tau and A\u03b242 in differentiating CN versus MCI subjects [AUC = 0.89 (plasma proteins), AUC = 0.85 (CSF proteins) and AUC = 0.89 (CSF p-tau and A\u03b242)]. These results were adjusted for age, sex, education, and APOE\u03f54 genotype.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>This study suggests that the combination of 6 plasma proteins can serve as an effective marker for differentiating MCI from AD and CN.<\/p>\n
