Ma R, Liu Y, Mao Q. Clinical value of serum LINC02446 and S100B in early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of traumatic brain injury. Int J Neurosci 2024:1-8. [PMID: 38651287 DOI: 10.1080/00207454.2024.2341929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the expression levels of LINC02446 and S100B in serum of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and explore their values as diagnostic and prognostic indicators for TBI. METHOD Abnormal expressed RNAs in brain injury were screened from the dataset GSE1131475. Serums were collected from moderate to severe TBI patients at 1-3 and 4-12 h post injury. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression levels of LINC02446 and S100B in serum. The Glasgow Outcome Scale was used for prognostic evaluation. The diagnostic and prognostic efficacy of LINC02446 and S100B in TBI was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULT The serum expression levels of LINC02446 and S100B in the TBI group were significantly increased. The expression levels of LINC02446 and S100B in the severe TBI group were significantly higher than those in the mild TBI group. ROC curve analysis showed that the combination of LINC02446 and S100B can distinguish TBI patients from healthy controls, as well as mild TBI from moderate to severe TBI. At the 6-month follow-up, the expression levels of LINC02446 and S100B in TBI patients with poor prognosis were significantly higher than those in patients with good prognosis, and ROC results showed their differentiation value. Moreover, the expression level of LINC02446 at 0-3 h can serve as an independent prognostic factor for poor prognosis. CONCLUSION Serum LINC02446 and S100B hold clinical application value in the diagnosis and prognosis of TBI and are expected to become new potential biomarkers.

Early systemic insults following traumatic brain injury: association with biomarker profiles, therapy for intracranial hypertension, and neurological outcomes-an analysis of CENTER-TBI data. Intensive Care Med 2024; 50:371-384. [PMID: 38376517 PMCID: PMC10955000 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-024-07324-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE We analysed the impact of early systemic insults (hypoxemia and hypotension, SIs) on brain injury biomarker profiles, acute care requirements during intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and 6-month outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS From patients recruited to the Collaborative European neurotrauma effectiveness research in TBI (CENTER-TBI) study, we documented the prevalence and risk factors for SIs and analysed their effect on the levels of brain injury biomarkers [S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), neurofilament light (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), and protein Tau], critical care needs, and 6-month outcomes [Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE)]. RESULTS Among 1695 TBI patients, 24.5% had SIs: 16.1% had hypoxemia, 15.2% had hypotension, and 6.8% had both. Biomarkers differed by SI category, with higher S100B, Tau, UCH-L1, NSE and NfL values in patients with hypotension or both SIs. The ratio of neural to glial injury (quantified as UCH-L1/GFAP and Tau/GFAP ratios) was higher in patients with hypotension than in those with no SIs or hypoxia alone. At 6 months, 380 patients died (22%), and 759 (45%) had GOSE ≤ 4. Patients who experienced at least one SI had higher mortality than those who did not (31.8% vs. 19%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Though less frequent than previously described, SIs in TBI patients are associated with higher release of neuronal than glial injury biomarkers and with increased requirements for ICU therapies aimed at reducing intracranial hypertension. Hypotension or combined SIs are significantly associated with adverse 6-month outcomes. Current criteria for hypotension may lead to higher biomarker levels and more negative outcomes than those for hypoxemia suggesting a need to revisit pressure targets in the prehospital settings.

Abstract
We review emerging preclinical and clinical evidence regarding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein, genotype, and DNA methylation (DNAm) as biomarkers of outcomes in three important etiologies of pediatric acquired brain injury (ABI), traumatic brain injury, global cerebral ischemia, and stroke. We also summarize evidence suggesting that BDNF is (1) involved in the biological embedding of the psychosocial environment, (2) responsive to rehabilitative therapies, and (3) potentially modifiable. BDNF's unique potential as a biomarker of neuroplasticity and neural repair that is reflective of and responsive to both pre- and post-injury environmental influences separates it from traditional protein biomarkers of structural brain injury with exciting potential to advance pediatric ABI management by increasing the accuracy of prognostic tools and informing clinical decision making through the monitoring of therapeutic effects.

Abstract
The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) Private Partners Scientific Board (PPSB) encompasses members from industry, biotechnology, diagnostic, and non-profit organizations that have until recently been managed by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) and provided financial and scientific support to ADNI programs. In this article, we review some of the major activities undertaken by the PPSB, focusing on those supporting the most recently completed National Institute on Aging grant, ADNI3, and the impact it has had on streamlining biomarker discovery and validation in Alzheimer's disease. We also provide a perspective on the gaps that may be filled with future PPSB activities as part of ADNI4 and beyond. HIGHLIGHTS: The Private Partners Scientific board (PPSB) continues to play a key role in enabling several Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) activities. PPSB working groups have led landscape assessments to provide valuable feedback on new technologies, platforms, and methods that may be taken up by ADNI in current or future iterations.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects millions of people of all ages around the globe. TBI is notoriously hard to diagnose at the point of care, resulting in incorrect patient management, avoidable death and disability, long-term neurodegenerative complications, and increased costs. It is vital to develop timely, alternative diagnostics for TBI to assist triage and clinical decision-making, complementary to current techniques such as neuroimaging and cognitive assessment. These could deliver rapid, quantitative TBI detection, by obtaining information on biochemical changes from patient's biofluids. If available, this would reduce mis-triage, save healthcare providers costs (both over- and under-triage are expensive) and improve outcomes by guiding early management. Herein, we utilize Raman spectroscopy-based detection to profile a panel of 18 raw (human, animal, and synthetically derived) TBI-indicative biomarkers (N-acetyl-aspartic acid (NAA), Ganglioside, Glutathione (GSH), Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE), Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCHL1), Cholesterol, D-Serine, Sphingomyelin, Sulfatides, Cardiolipin, Interleukin-6 (IL-6), S100B, Galactocerebroside, Beta-D-(+)-Glucose, Myo-Inositol, Interleukin-18 (IL-18), Neurofilament Light Chain (NFL)) and their aqueous solution. The subsequently derived unique spectral reference library, exploiting four excitation lasers of 514, 633, 785, and 830 nm, will aid the development of rapid, non-destructive, and label-free spectroscopy-based neuro-diagnostic technologies. These biomolecules, released during cellular damage, provide additional means of diagnosing TBI and assessing the severity of injury. The spectroscopic temporal profiles of the studied biofluid neuro-markers are classed according to their acute, sub-acute, and chronic temporal injury phases and we have further generated detailed peak assignment tables for each brain-specific biomolecule within each injury phase. The intensity ratios of significant peaks, yielding the combined unique spectroscopic barcode for each brain-injury marker, are compared to assess variance between lasers, with the smallest variance found for UCHL1 (σ2 = 0.000164) and the highest for sulfatide (σ2 = 0.158). Overall, this work paves the way for defining and setting the most appropriate diagnostic time window for detection following brain injury. Further rapid and specific detection of these biomarkers, from easily accessible biofluids, would not only enable the triage of TBI, predict outcomes, indicate the progress of recovery, and save healthcare providers costs, but also cement the potential of Raman-based spectroscopy as a powerful tool for neurodiagnostics.

Abstract
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion can have serious consequences that develop over time with unpredictable levels of recovery. Millions of concussions occur yearly, and a substantial number result in lingering symptoms, loss of productivity, and lower quality of life. The diagnosis may not be made for multiple reasons, including due to patient hesitancy to undergo neuroimaging and inability of imaging to detect minimal damage. Biomarkers could fill this gap, but the time needed to send blood to a laboratory for analysis made this impractical until point-of-care measurement became available. A handheld blood test is now on the market for diagnosis of concussion based on the specific blood biomarkers glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1). This paper discusses rapid blood biomarker assessment for mild TBI and its implications in improving prediction of TBI course, avoiding repeated head trauma, and its potential role in assessing new therapeutic options. Although we focus on the Abbott i-STAT TBI plasma test because it is the first to be FDA-cleared, our discussion applies to any comparable test systems that may become available in the future. The difficulties in changing emergency department protocols to include new technology are addressed.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating trauma of the central nervous system, with high levels of morbidity, disability, and mortality. To explore the underlying mechanism of SCI, we analyzed the proteome and phosphoproteome of rats at one week after SCI. We identified 465 up-regulated and 129 down-regulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), as well as 184 up-regulated and 40 down-regulated differentially expressed phosphoproteins (DEPPs). Using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis, we identified the biological characteristics of these proteins from the perspectives of cell component, biological process, and molecular function. We also found a lot of enriched functional pathways such as GABAergic synapse pathway, ErbB signaling pathway, tight junction, adherens junction. The integrated analysis of proteomics and phosphoproteomics yielded 22 differently expressed co-identified proteins of DEPs and DEPPs, which revealed strongly correlative patterns. These findings may help clarify the potential mechanisms of trauma and repair in SCI and may guide the development of novel treatments.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of long-lasting morbidity and mortality worldwide, being a devastating condition related to the impairment of the nervous system after an external traumatic event resulting in transitory or permanent functional disability, with a significant burden to the healthcare system. Harmful events underlying TBI can be classified into two sequential stages, primary and secondary, which are both associated with breakdown of the tissue homeostasis due to impairment of the blood-brain barrier, osmotic imbalance, inflammatory processes, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and apoptotic cell death, ultimately resulting in a loss of tissue functionality. The present study provides an updated review concerning the roles of brain edema, inflammation, excitotoxicity, and oxidative stress on brain changes resulting from a TBI. The proper characterization of the phenomena resulting from TBI can contribute to the improvement of care, rehabilitation and quality of life of the affected people.

Abstract
The study of ocular manifestations of neurodegenerative disorders, Oculomics, is a growing field of investigation for early diagnostics, enabling structural and chemical biomarkers to be monitored overtime to predict prognosis. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a cascade of events harmful to the brain, which can lead to neurodegeneration. TBI, termed the "silent epidemic" is becoming a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. There is currently no effective diagnostic tool for TBI, and yet, early-intervention is known to considerably shorten hospital stays, improve outcomes, fasten neurological recovery and lower mortality rates, highlighting the unmet need for techniques capable of rapid and accurate point-of-care diagnostics, implemented in the earliest stages. This review focuses on the latest advances in the main neuropathophysiological responses and the achievements and shortfalls of TBI diagnostic methods. Validated and emerging TBI-indicative biomarkers are outlined and linked to ocular neuro-disorders. Methods detecting structural and chemical ocular responses to TBI are categorised along with prospective chemical and physical sensing techniques. Particular attention is drawn to the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a non-invasive sensing of neurological molecular signatures in the ocular projections of the brain, laying the platform for the first tangible path towards alternative point-of-care diagnostic technologies for TBI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of morbidity worldwide. Patients at risk of unfavourable outcome may benefit from additional attention and help but identification of these patients necessitates the development of diagnostic methods to assess indices of brain injury at an early stage. The aim of this overview is to highlight studies that reflect the growing scientific attention to the early diagnosis and prognostication of mild TBI. RECENT FINDINGS The value of serum biomarkers for the diagnosis of TBI severity has been acknowledged in recent studies. The diagnostic and prognostic utility of several biomarkers of brain injury, such as glial fibrillary acidic protein, and of inflammation, such as interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10, holds promise for application in daily clinical practice in a point-of-care platform. Besides head CT imaging, early advanced MRI brain imaging has been reported as a tool for assessment of injury severity and prognostication. The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has raised new challenges for the treatment of intracranial traumatic haemorrhage at the Emergency Department. SUMMARY Promising findings of new diagnostic markers of brain injury severity highlight the potential prognostic value of serum biomarkers and early MRI imaging. The accurate assessment of patients at risk of incomplete recovery after mTBI will enhance more timely and individualized treatment.

Abstract
While individual susceptibility to traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been speculated, past work does not provide an analysis considering how physical features of an individual's brain (e.g., brain size, shape), impact direction, and brain network features can holistically contribute to the risk of suffering a TBI from an impact. This work investigated each of these features simultaneously using computational modeling and analyses of simulated functional connectivity. Unlike the past studies that assess the severity of TBI based on the quantification of brain tissue damage (e.g., principal strain), we approached the brain as a complex network in which neuronal oscillations orchestrate to produce normal brain function (estimated by functional connectivity) and, to this end, both the anatomical damage location and its topological characteristics within the brain network contribute to the severity of brain function disruption and injury. To represent the variations in the population, we analyzed a publicly available database of brain imaging data and selected five distinct network architectures, seven different brain sizes, and three uniaxial head rotational conditions to study the consequences of 74 virtual impact scenarios. Results show impact direction produces the most significant change in connections across brain areas (structural connectome) and the functional coupling of activity across these brain areas (functional connectivity). Axial rotations were more injurious than those with sagittal and coronal rotations when the head kinematics were the same for each condition. When the impact direction was held constant, brain network architecture showed a significantly different vulnerability across axial and sagittal, but not coronal rotations. As expected, brain size significantly affected the expected change in structural and functional connectivity after impact. Together, these results provided groupings of predicted vulnerability to impact-a subgroup of male brain architectures exposed to axial impacts were most vulnerable, while a subgroup of female brain architectures was the most tolerant to the sagittal impacts studied. These findings lay essential groundwork for subject-specific analyses of concussion and provide invaluable guidance for designing personalized protection equipment.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem. Caused by external mechanical forces, a major characteristic of TBI is the shearing of axons across the white matter, which causes structural connectivity disruptions between brain regions. This diffuse injury leads to cognitive deficits, frequently requiring rehabilitation. Heterogeneity is another characteristic of TBI as severity and cognitive sequelae of the disease have a wide variation across patients, posing a big challenge for treatment. Thus, measures assessing network-wide structural connectivity disruptions in TBI are necessary to quantify injury burden of individuals, which would help in achieving personalized treatment, patient monitoring, and rehabilitation planning. Despite TBI being a disconnectivity syndrome, connectomic assessment of structural disconnectivity has been relatively limited. In this study, we propose a novel connectomic measure that we call network normality score (NNS) to capture the integrity of structural connectivity in TBI patients by leveraging two major characteristics of the disease: diffuseness of axonal injury and heterogeneity of the disease. Over a longitudinal cohort of moderate-to-severe TBI patients, we demonstrate that structural network topology of patients is more heterogeneous and significantly different than that of healthy controls at 3 months postinjury, where dissimilarity further increases up to 12 months. We also show that NNS captures injury burden as quantified by posttraumatic amnesia and that alterations in the structural brain network is not related to cognitive recovery. Finally, we compare NNS to major graph theory measures used in TBI literature and demonstrate the superiority of NNS in characterizing the disease.

Abstract
Discovery of reliable signatures for the empirical diagnosis of neurological diseases-both infectious and non-infectious-remains unrealized. One of the primary challenges encountered in such studies is the lack of a comprehensive database representative of a signature background that exists in healthy individuals, and against which an aberrant event can be assessed. For neurological insults and injuries, it is important to understand the normal profile in the neuronal (cerebrospinal fluid) and systemic fluids (e.g., blood). Here, we present the first comparative multi-omic human database of signatures derived from a population of 30 individuals (15 males, 15 females, 23-74 years) of serum and cerebrospinal fluid. In addition to empirical signatures, we also assigned common pathways between serum and CSF. Together, our findings provide a cohort against which aberrant signature profiles in individuals with neurological injuries/disease can be assessed-providing a pathway for comprehensive diagnostics and therapeutics discovery.

Abstract
This proceedings article presents actionable research targets on the basis of the presentations and discussions at the 2nd Curing Coma National Institutes of Health (NIH) symposium held from May 3 to May 5, 2021. Here, we summarize the background, research priorities, panel discussions, and deliverables discussed during the symposium across six major domains related to disorders of consciousness. The six domains include (1) Biology of Coma, (2) Coma Database, (3) Neuroprognostication, (4) Care of Comatose Patients, (5) Early Clinical Trials, and (6) Long-term Recovery. Following the 1st Curing Coma NIH virtual symposium held on September 9 to September 10, 2020, six workgroups, each consisting of field experts in respective domains, were formed and tasked with identifying gaps and developing key priorities and deliverables to advance the mission of the Curing Coma Campaign. The highly interactive and inspiring presentations and panel discussions during the 3-day virtual NIH symposium identified several action items for the Curing Coma Campaign mission, which we summarize in this article.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is not a single disease state but describes an array
of conditions associated with insult or injury to the brain. While some
individuals with TBI recover within a few days or months, others present with
persistent symptoms that can cause disability, neuropsychological trauma, and
even death. Understanding, diagnosing, and treating TBI is extremely complex for
many reasons, including the variable biomechanics of head impact, differences in
severity and location of injury, and individual patient characteristics. Because
of these confounding factors, the development of reliable diagnostics and
targeted treatments for brain injury remains elusive. We argue that the
development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for TBI requires
a deep understanding of human neurophysiology at the molecular level and that
the framework of multiomics may provide some effective solutions for the
diagnosis and treatment of this challenging condition. To this end, we present
here a comprehensive review of TBI biomarker candidates from across the
multiomic disciplines and compare them with known signatures associated with
other neuropsychological conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and
Parkinson’s disease. We believe that this integrated view will facilitate a
deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of TBI and its potential links to
other neurological diseases.

NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV XX(X) XXX-XXX, 2021. - Inflammation is an important secondary physiological response to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Most of the current knowledge on this response is derived from research in moderate and severe TBI. In this systematic review we summarize the literature on clinical studies measuring blood based inflammatory markers following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and identify the value of inflammatory markers as biomarkers. Twenty-three studies were included. This review suggests a distinct systemic inflammatory response following mTBI, quantifiable within 6 h up to 12 months post-injury. Interleukin-6 is the most promising biomarker for the clinical diagnosis of brain injury while interleukin-10 is a potential candidate for triaging CT scans. The diagnostic and prognostic utility of inflammatory markers may be more fully appreciated as a component of a panel of biomarkers. However, discrepancies in study design, analysis and reporting make it difficult to draw any definite conclusions. For the same reasons, a meta-analysis was not possible. We provide recommendations to follow standardized methodologies to allow for reproducibility of results in future studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recovery after severe brain injury is variable and challenging to accurately predict at the individual patient level. This review highlights new developments in clinical prognostication with a special focus on the prediction of consciousness and increasing reliance on methods from data science. RECENT FINDINGS Recent research has leveraged serum biomarkers, quantitative electroencephalography, MRI, and physiological time-series to build models for recovery prediction. The analysis of high-resolution data and the integration of features from different modalities can be approached with efficient computational techniques. SUMMARY Advances in neurophysiology and neuroimaging, in combination with computational methods, represent a novel paradigm for prediction of consciousness and functional recovery after severe brain injury. Research is needed to produce reliable, patient-level predictions that could meaningfully impact clinical decision making.
