[PMID: 39329685 PMCID: PMC11429338 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11090943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2024] [Revised: 09/11/2024] [Accepted: 09/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, and it is significantly influenced by the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) gene and gender. This study aimed to use machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict brain age and assess AD risk by considering the effects of the APOE4 genotype and gender. Methods: We collected brain volumetric MRI data and medical records from 1100 cognitively unimpaired individuals and 602 patients with AD. We applied three ML regression models-XGBoost, random forest (RF), and linear regression (LR)-to predict brain age. Additionally, we introduced two novel metrics, brain age difference (BAD) and integrated difference (ID), to evaluate the models' performances and analyze the influences of the APOE4 genotype and gender on brain aging. Results: Patients with AD displayed significantly older brain ages compared to their chronological ages, with BADs ranging from 6.5 to 10 years. The RF model outperformed both XGBoost and LR in terms of accuracy, delivering higher ID values and more precise predictions. Comparing the APOE4 carriers with noncarriers, the models showed enhanced ID values and consistent brain age predictions, improving the overall performance. Gender-specific analyses indicated slight enhancements, with the models performing equally well for both genders. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that robust ML models for brain age prediction can play a crucial role in the early detection of AD risk through MRI brain structural imaging. The significant impact of the APOE4 genotype on brain aging and AD risk is also emphasized. These findings highlight the potential of ML models in assessing AD risk and suggest that utilizing AI for AD identification could enable earlier preventative interventions.

Abstract
In vivo proton (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a powerful non-invasive method that can measure Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related neuropathological alterations at the molecular level. AD biomarkers include amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau neurofibrillary tangles. These biomarkers can be detected via postmortem analysis but also in living individuals through positron emission tomography (PET) or biofluid biomarkers of Aβ and tau. This review offers an overview of biochemical abnormalities detected by 1H MRS within the biologically defined AD spectrum. It includes a summary of earlier studies that explored the association of 1H MRS metabolites with biofluid, PET, and postmortem AD biomarkers and examined how apolipoprotein e4 allele carrier status influences brain biochemistry. Studying these associations is crucial for understanding how AD pathology affects brain homeostasis throughout the AD continuum and may eventually facilitate the development of potential novel therapeutic approaches.

Clozapine treatment and astrocyte activity in treatment resistant schizophrenia: A proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy study. Schizophr Res 2024; 270:152-161. [PMID: 38909486 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2024.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Clozapine is the only antipsychotic approved for treating treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS), characterized by persistent positive symptoms despite adequate antipsychotic treatment. Unfortunately, clozapine demonstrates clinical efficacy in only ~30-60 % of patients with TRS (clozapine-responders; ClzR+), while the remaining ~40-70 % are left with no pharmacological recourse for improvement (clozapine-resistant; ClzR-). Mechanism(s) underlying clozapine's superior efficacy remain unclear. However, in vitro evidence suggests clozapine may mitigate glutamatergic dysregulations observed in TRS, by modulating astrocyte activity in ClzR+, but not ClzR-. A factor that if proven correct, may help the assessment of treatment response and development of more effective antipsychotics. To explore the presence of clozapine-astrocyte interaction and clinical improvement, we used 3 T proton-magnetic resonance spectroscopy to quantify levels of myo-Inositol, surrogate biomarker of astrocyte activity, in regions related to schizophrenia neurobiology: Dorsal-anterior-cingulate-cortex (dACC), left-dorsolateral-prefrontal-cortex (left-DLPFC), and left-striatum (left-striatum) of 157 participants (ClzR- = 30; ClzR+ = 37; responders = 38; controls = 52). Clozapine treatment was assessed using clozapine to norclozapine plasma levels, 11-12 h after last clozapine dose. Measures for symptom severity (i.e., Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale) and cognition (i.e., Mini-Mental State Examination) were also recorded. Higher levels of myo-Inositol were observed in TRS groups versus responders and controls (dACC (p < 0.001); left-striatum (p = 0.036); left-DLPFC (p = 0.023)). In ClzR+, but not ClzR-, clozapine to norclozapine ratios were positively associated with myo-Inositol levels (dACC (p = 0.004); left-DLPFC (p < 0.001)), and lower positive symptom severity (p < 0.001). Our results support growing in vitro evidence of clozapine-astrocyte interaction in clozapine-responders. Further research may determine the viability of clozapine-astrocyte interactions as an early marker of clozapine response.

Neurometabolic topography and associations with cognition in Alzheimer's disease: A whole-brain high-resolution 3D MRSI study. Alzheimers Dement 2024. [PMID: 39073196 DOI: 10.1002/alz.14137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Altered neurometabolism, detectable via proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI), is spatially heterogeneous and underpins cognitive impairments in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the spatial relationships between neurometabolic topography and cognitive impairment in AD remain unexplored due to technical limitations. METHODS We used a novel whole-brain high-resolution 1H-MRSI technique, with simultaneously acquired 18F-florbetapir positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, to investigate the relationship between neurometabolic topography and cognitive functions in 117 participants, including 22 prodromal AD, 51 AD dementia, and 44 controls. RESULTS Prodromal AD and AD dementia patients exhibited spatially distinct reductions in N-acetylaspartate, and increases in myo-inositol. Reduced N-acetylaspartate and increased myo-inositol were associated with worse global cognitive performance, and N-acetylaspartate correlated with five specific cognitive scores. Neurometabolic topography provides biological insights into diverse cognitive dysfunctions. DISCUSSION Whole-brain high-resolution 1H-MRSI revealed spatially distinct neurometabolic topographies associated with cognitive decline in AD, suggesting potential for noninvasive brain metabolic imaging to track AD progression. HIGHLIGHTS Whole-brain high-resolution 1H-MRSI unveils neurometabolic topography in AD. Spatially distinct reductions in NAA, and increases in mI, are demonstrated. NAA and mI topography correlates with global cognitive performance. NAA topography correlates with specific cognitive performance.

Abstract
Biomarkers are measured to evaluate physiological and pathological processes as well as responses to a therapeutic intervention. Biomarkers can be classified as diagnostic, prognostic, predictor, clinical, and therapeutic. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), multiple biomarkers have been reported so far. Nevertheless, finding a specific biomarker in AD remains a major challenge. Three databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were selected with the keywords of Alzheimer's disease, neuroimaging, biomarker, and blood. The results were finalized with 49 potential CSF/blood and 35 neuroimaging biomarkers. To distinguish normal from AD patients, amyloid-beta42 (Aβ42), plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament light (NFL) as potential biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as well as the serum could be detected. Nevertheless, most of the biomarkers fairly change in the CSF during AD, listed as kallikrein 6, virus-like particles (VLP-1), galectin-3 (Gal-3), and synaptotagmin-1 (Syt-1). From the neuroimaging aspect, atrophy is an accepted biomarker for the neuropathologic progression of AD. In addition, Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), tractography (DTT), positron emission tomography (PET), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), can be used to detect AD. Using neuroimaging and CSF/blood biomarkers, in combination with artificial intelligence, it is possible to obtain information on prognosis and follow-up on the different stages of AD. Hence physicians could select the suitable therapy to attenuate disease symptoms and follow up on the efficiency of the prescribed drug.

Abstract
MRS is a noninvasive technique to measure different metabolites in the brain. Changes in the levels of certain metabolites can be used as surrogate markers for Alzheimer's disease. They can potentially be used for diagnosis, prediction of prognosis, or even assessing response to treatment.There are different techniques for MRS acquisitions including STimulated Echo Acquisition Mode (STEAM) and Point Resolved Spectroscopy (PRESS). In terms of localization, single or multi-voxel methods can be used. Based on current data: 1. NAA, marker of neuronal integrity and viability, reduces in AD with longitudinal changes over the time as the disease progresses. There are data claiming that reduction of NAA is associated with tau accumulation, early neurodegenerative processes, and cognitive decline. Therefore, it can be used as a stage biomarker for AD to assess the severity of the disease. With advancement of disease modifying therapies, there is a potential role for NAA in the future to be used as a marker of response to treatment. 2. mI, marker of glial cell proliferation and activation, is associated with AB pathology and has early changes in the course of the disease. The NAA/mI ratio can be predictive of AD development with high specificity and can be utilized in the clinical setting to stratify cases for further evaluation with PET for potential treatments. 3. The changes in the level of other metabolites such as Chol, Glu, Gln, and GABA are controversial because of the lack of standardization of MRS techniques, current technical limitations, and possible region specific changes. 4. Ultrahigh field MRS and more advanced techniques can overcome many of these limitations and enable us to measure more metabolites with higher accuracy. 5. Standardization of MRS techniques, validation of metabolites' changes against PET using PET-guided technique, and longitudinal follow-ups to investigate the temporal changes of the metabolites in relation to other biomarkers and cognition will be crucial to confirm the utility of MRS as a potential noninvasive biomarker for AD.

Abstract
Few proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies have explored chemotherapy-related biochemical changes in brain regions. This observational study aimed to longitudinally assess short-term cognitive changes and brain metabolite concentrations in women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. We analyzed 11 women with newly diagnosed stage 1 to 3 breast cancer. Patients were evaluated via objective cognitive testing, and patient self-report tests. Patients were examined using single voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the medial frontal cortex, posterior cingulate gyrus, and left thalamus at baseline and after the completion of chemotherapy on a 1.5 Tesla scanner. At the posttreatment evaluation as compared to baseline, 7 of the 10 (70%) patients reported worsening memory on the MD Anderson symptom inventory (annualized change = 1.82 ± 2.88, P = .08), while the delayed recall raw score of the Rey Osterrieth complex figure test did not change from pre- to post-chemotherapy (mean annualized change = 5.00 ± 14.38, P = .30). The annualized change in the creatine concentration in the posterior cingulate gyrus was statistically significant. The annualized change in the MD Anderson symptom inventory was negatively correlated with the annualized change in the medial frontal N-acetylaspartate (Spearman correlation coefficient [rho] = -0.78, P = .01) and positively correlated with the annualized change in the posterior cingulate gyrus creatine (rho = 0.66, P = .04). Annualized changes in the Rey Osterrieth complex figure test were positively correlated with annualized changes in choline (rho = 0.83, P = .01) in the medial frontal cortex, choline (rho = 0.76, P = .04) in the left thalamus, and creatine (rho = 0.73, P = .02) in the medial frontal cortex. Our data suggest that chemotherapy may lead to the worsening of self-reported memory function, which is associated with alterations in brain metabolites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Increasing evidence suggests that reactive astrocytes are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its underlying pathogenesis remains unknown. Given the role of astrocytes in energy metabolism, reactive astrocytes may contribute to altered brain energy metabolism. Astrocytes are primarily considered glycolytic cells, suggesting a preference for lactate production. This study aimed to examine alterations in astrocytic activities and their association with brain lactate levels in AD. METHODS The study included 30 AD and 30 cognitively unimpaired participants. For AD participants, amyloid and tau depositions were confirmed by positron emission tomography using [11 C]PiB and [18 F]florzolotau, respectively. Myo-inositol, an astroglial marker, and lactate in the posterior cingulate cortex were quantified by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolites were compared with plasma biomarkers, including glial fibrillary acidic protein as another astrocytic marker, and amyloid and tau positron emission tomography. RESULTS Myo-inositol and lactate levels were higher in AD patients than in cognitively unimpaired participants (p < 0.05). Myo-inositol levels correlated with lactate levels (r = 0.272, p = 0.047). Myo-inositol and lactate levels were positively associated with the Clinical Dementia Rating sum-of-boxes scores (p < 0.05). Significant correlations were noted between myo-inositol levels and plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein, tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 levels, and amyloid and tau positron emission tomography accumulation in the posterior cingulate cortex (p < 0.05). INTERPRETATION We found high myo-inositol levels accompanied by increased lactate levels in the posterior cingulate cortex in AD patients, indicating a link between reactive astrocytes and altered brain energy metabolism. Myo-inositol and plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein may reflect similar astrocytic changes as biomarkers of AD. ANN NEUROL 2023.

Abstract
Methadone-based treatment for pregnant women with opioid use disorder is quite prevalent in the clinical environment. A number of clinical and animal model-based studies have reported cognitive deficits in infants prenatally exposed to methadone-based opioid treatments. However, the long-term impact of prenatal opioid exposure (POE) on pathophysiological mechanisms that govern neurodevelopmental impairment is not well understood. Using a translationally relevant mouse model of prenatal methadone exposure (PME), the aim of this study is to investigate the role of cerebral biochemistry and its possible association with regional microstructural organization in PME offspring. To understand these effects, 8-week-old male offspring with PME (n = 7) and prenatal saline exposure (PSE) (n = 7) were scanned in vivo on 9.4 Tesla small animal scanner. Single voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed in the right dorsal striatum (RDS) region using a short echo time (TE) Stimulated Echo Acquisition Method (STEAM) sequence. Neurometabolite spectra from the RDS was first corrected for tissue T1 relaxation and then absolute quantification was performed using the unsuppressed water spectra. High-resolution in vivo diffusion MRI (dMRI) for region of interest (ROI) based microstructural quantification was also performed using a multi-shell dMRI sequence. Cerebral microstructure was characterized using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and Bingham-neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (Bingham-NODDI). MRS results in the RDS showed significant decrease in N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), taurine (tau), glutathione (GSH), total creatine (tCr) and glutamate (Glu) concentration levels in PME, compared to PSE group. In the same RDS region, mean orientation dispersion index (ODI) and intracellular volume fraction (VFIC) demonstrated positive associations with tCr in PME group. ODI also exhibited significant positive association with Glu levels in PME offspring. Significant reduction in major neurotransmitter metabolites and energy metabolism along with strong association between the neurometabolites and perturbed regional microstructural complexity suggest a possible impaired neuroadaptation trajectory in PME offspring which could be persistent even into late adolescence and early adulthood.

Abstract
Based on the premise that physical activity/exercise impacts hippocampal structure and function, we investigated if hippocampal metabolites for neuronal viability and cell membrane density (i.e., N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), creatine (Cr)) were higher in older adults performing supervised exercise compared to following national physical activity guidelines. Sixty-three participants (75.3 ± 1.9 years after 3 years of intervention) recruited from the Generation 100 study (NCT01666340_date:08.16.2012) were randomized into a supervised exercise group (SEG) performing twice weekly moderate- to high-intensity training, and a control group (CG) following national physical activity guidelines of ≥ 30-min moderate physical activity ≥ 5 days/week. Hippocampal body and head volumes and NAA, Cho, and Cr levels were acquired at 3T with magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopic imaging. Sociodemographic data, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), exercise characteristics, psychological health, and cognition were recorded. General linear models were used to assess group differences and associations corrected for age, sex, education, and hippocampal volume. Both groups adhered to their training, where SEG trained at higher intensity. SEG had significantly lower NAA/Cr in hippocampal body than CG (p = 0.04). Across participants, higher training intensity was associated with lower Cho/Cr in hippocampal body (p < 0.001). Change in VO2peak, increasing VO2peak from baseline to 3 years, or VO2peak at 3 years were not associated with hippocampal neurochemicals. Lower NAA/Cr in hippocampal body was associated with poorer psychological health and slightly higher cognitive scores. Thus, following the national physical activity guidelines and not training at the highest intensity level were associated with the best neurochemical profile in the hippocampus at 3 years.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) has been reported to injure the developing and adult brain. However, the underlying mechanism still remains elusive. This study used neuro-2a cells as a cellular model to investigate the neurotoxic effects of BPA. Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) and tau protein maintain microtubule normal function and promote the normal development of the nervous system. Synaptophysin (SYP) and drebrin (Dbn) proteins are involved in regulating synaptic plasticity. Cells were exposed to the minimum essential medium (MEM), 0.01% (v/v) DMSO, and 150 μM BPA for 12, 24, or 36 h. Morphological analysis revealed that the cells in the BPA-treated groups shrank and collapsed compared with those in the control groups. CCK-8 and lactate dehydrogenase assay (LDH) assays showed that the mortality of neuro-2a cells increased as the BPA treatment time was prolonged. Ultrastructural analysis further revealed that cells demonstrated nucleolar swelling, dissolution of nuclear and mitochondrial membranes, and partial mitochondrial condensation following exposure to BPA. BPA also decreased the relative protein expression levels of MAP2, tau, and Dbn. Interestingly, the relative protein expression levels of SYP increased. These results indicated that BPA inhibited the proliferation and disrupted cytoskeleton and synaptic integrity of neuro-2a cells.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of amyloid plaques implicated in neuronal death. Genetics, age, and sex are the risk factors attributed to AD. Though omics studies have helped to identify pathways associated with AD, an integrated systems analysis with the available data could help to understand mechanisms, potential biomarkers, and therapeutic targets. Analysis of transcriptomic data sets from the GEO database, and proteomic and metabolomic data sets from literature was performed to identify deregulated pathways and commonality analysis identified overlapping pathways among the data sets. The deregulated pathways included those of neurotransmitter synapses, oxidative stress, inflammation, vitamins, complement, and coagulation pathways. Cell type analysis of GEO data sets showed microglia, endothelial, myeloid, and lymphoid cells are affected. Microglia are associated with inflammation and pruning of synapses with implications for memory and cognition. Analysis of the protein-cofactor network of B2, B6, and pantothenate shows metabolic pathways modulated by these vitamins which overlap with the deregulated pathways from the multi-omics analysis. Overall, the integrated analysis identified the molecular signature associated with AD. Treatment with anti-oxidants, B2, B6, and pantothenate in genetically susceptible individuals in the pre-symptomatic stage might help in better management of the disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers are increasingly more reliable in predicting neuropathology. To facilitate interpretation of phosphorylated tau sites as an early fluid biomarker, we sought to characterize which neurofibrillary tangle maturity levels (pretangle, intermediary 1, mature tangle, intermediary 2, and ghost tangle) are recognized. METHODS We queried the Florida Autopsied Multi-Ethnic (FLAME) cohort for cases ranging from Braak stages I through VI, excluding non-AD neuropathologies and tauopathies. Thioflavin-S staining was compared to immunohistochemical measures of phosphorylated threonine (pT) 181, pT205, pT217, and pT231 in two hippocampal subsectors across n = 24 cases. RESULTS Each phosphorylated tau site immunohistochemically labeled early neurofibrillary tangle maturity levels compared to advanced levels recognized by thioflavin-S. Hippocampal burden generally increased with each Braak stage. DISCUSSION These results provide neurobiologic evidence that these phosphorylated tau fluid biomarker sites are present during early neurofibrillary tangle maturity levels and may explain why these fluid biomarker measures are observed before symptom onset. HIGHLIGHTS Immunohistochemical evaluation of four phosphorylated tau fluid biomarker sites. Earlier neurofibrillary tangle maturity levels recognized by phosphorylated tau in proline-rich region. Advanced tangle pathology is elevated in the subiculum compared to the cornu ammonis 1 of the hippocampus. Novel semi-quantitative frequency to calculate tangle maturity frequency.

Abstract
Methadone-based treatment for pregnant women with opioid use disorder is quite prevalent in the clinical environment. A number of clinical and animal model-based studies have reported cognitive deficits in infants prenatally exposed to methadone-based opioid treatments. However, the long-term impact of prenatal opioid exposure (POE) on pathophysiological mechanisms that govern neurodevelopmental impairment is not well understood. Using a translationally relevant mouse model of prenatal methadone exposure (PME), the aim of this study is to investigate the role of cerebral biochemistry and its possible association with regional microstructural organization in PME offspring. To understand these effects, 8- week-old male offspring with PME (n=7) and prenatal saline exposure (PSE) (n=7) were scanned in vivo on 9.4 Tesla small animal scanner. Single voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) was performed in the right dorsal striatum (RDS) region using a short echo time (TE) Stimulated Echo Acquisition Method (STEAM) sequence. Neurometabolite spectra from the RDS was first corrected for tissue T1 relaxation and then absolute quantification was performed using the unsuppressed water spectra. High-resolution in vivo diffusion MRI (dMRI) for region of interest (ROI) based microstructural quantification was also performed using a multi-shell dMRI sequence. Cerebral microstructure was characterized using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and Bingham-neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (Bingham-NODDI). MRS results in the RDS showed significant decrease in N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), taurine (tau), glutathione (GSH), total creatine (tCr) and glutamate (Glu) concentration levels in PME, compared to PSE group. In the same RDS region, mean orientation dispersion index (ODI) and intracellular volume fraction (VF IC ) demonstrated positive associations with tCr in PME group. ODI also exhibited significant positive association with Glu levels in PME offspring. Significant reduction in major neurotransmitter metabolites and energy metabolism along with strong association between the neurometabolites and perturbed regional microstructural complexity suggest a possible impaired neuroadaptation trajectory in PME offspring which could be persistent even into late adolescence and early adulthood.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease and the most frequently diagnosed type of dementia, characterized by (1) perturbed cerebral perfusion, vasculature, and cortical metabolism; (2) induced proinflammatory processes; and (3) the aggregation of amyloid beta and hyperphosphorylated Tau proteins. Subclinical AD changes are commonly detectable by using radiological and nuclear neuroimaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Furthermore, other valuable modalities exist (in particular, structural volumetric, diffusion, perfusion, functional, and metabolic magnetic resonance methods) that can advance the diagnostic algorithm of AD and our understanding of its pathogenesis. Recently, new insights into AD pathoetiology revealed that deranged insulin homeostasis in the brain may play a role in the onset and progression of the disease. AD-related brain insulin resistance is closely linked to systemic insulin homeostasis disorders caused by pancreas and/or liver dysfunction. Indeed, in recent studies, linkages between the development and onset of AD and the liver and/or pancreas have been established. Aside from standard radiological and nuclear neuroimaging methods and clinically fewer common methods of magnetic resonance, this article also discusses the use of new suggestive non-neuronal imaging modalities to assess AD-associated structural changes in the liver and pancreas. Studying these changes might be of great clinical importance because of their possible involvement in AD pathogenesis during the prodromal phase of the disease.

Abstract
Striatal medium spiny neurons are highly susceptible in Huntington's disease (HD), resulting in progressive synaptic perturbations that lead to neuronal dysfunction and death. Non-invasive imaging techniques, such as proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS), are used in HD mouse models and patients with HD to monitor neurochemical changes associated with neuronal health. However, the association between brain neurochemical alterations and synaptic dysregulation remains unknown, limiting our ability to monitor potential treatments that may affect synapse function. We conducted in vivo longitudinal 1 H-MRS in the striatum followed by ex vivo analyses of excitatory synapse density of two synaptic circuits disrupted in HD, thalamo-striatal (T-S), and cortico-striatal (C-S) pathways, to assess the relationship between neurochemical alterations and changes in synapse density. We used the zQ175(Tg/0) HD mouse model as well as zQ175 mice lacking one allele of CK2α'(zQ175(Tg/0) :CK2α'(+/-) ), a kinase previously shown to regulate synapse function in HD. Longitudinal analyses of excitatory synapse density showed early and sustained reduction in T-S synapses in zQ175 mice, preceding C-S synapse depletion, which was rescued in zQ175:CK2α'(+/-) . Changes in T-S and C-S synapses were accompanied by progressive alterations in numerous neurochemicals between WT and HD mice. Linear regression analyses showed C-S synapse number positively correlated with 1 H-MRS-measured levels of GABA, while T-S synapse number positively correlated with levels of phosphoethanolamine and negatively correlated with total creatine levels. These associations suggest that these neurochemical concentrations measured by 1 H-MRS may facilitate monitoring circuit-specific synaptic dysfunction in the zQ175 mouse model and in other HD pre-clinical studies.

Abstract
Summarizing the multiplicity and heterogeneity of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) features into a single measure has been difficult in both neuropathology and imaging studies. The objective of this work was to evaluate the association between neuroimaging surrogates of CVD and two available neuropathologic CVD scales in those with both antemortem imaging CVD measures and postmortem CVD evaluation. Individuals in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging with MRI scans within 5 years of death (N = 51) were included. Antemortem CVD measures were computed from diffusion MRI (dMRI), FLAIR, and T2* GRE imaging modalities and compared with postmortem neuropathologic findings using Kalaria and Strozyk Scales. Of all the neuroimaging measures, both regional and global dMRI measures were associated with Kalaria and Strozyk Scales (p < 0.05) and modestly correlated with global cognitive performance. The major conclusions from this study were: (i) microstructural white matter injury measurements using dMRI may be meaningful surrogates of neuropathologic CVD scales, because they aid in capturing diffuse (and early) changes to white matter and secondary neurodegeneration due to lesions; (ii) vacuolation in the corpus callosum may be associated with white matter changes measured on antemortem dMRI imaging; (iii) Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change did not associate with neuropathologic CVD scales; and (iv) future work should be focused on developing better quantitative measures utilizing dMRI to optimally assess CVD-related neuropathologic changes.

Brain damage associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) occurs even decades before the symptomatic onset, raising the need to investigate its progression from prodromal stages. In this context, animal models that progressively display AD pathological hallmarks (e.g. TgF344-AD) become crucial. Translational technologies, such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), enable the longitudinal metabolic characterization of this disease. However, an integrative approach is required to unravel the complex metabolic changes underlying AD progression, from early to advanced stages. TgF344-AD and wild-type (WT) rats were studied in vivo on a 7 Tesla MRI scanner, for longitudinal quantitative assessment of brain metabolic profile changes using MRS. Disease progression was investigated at 4 time points, from 9 to 18 months of age, and in 4 regions: cortex, hippocampus, striatum, and thalamus. Compared to WT, TgF344-AD rats replicated common findings in AD patients, including decreased N-acetylaspartate in the cortex, hippocampus and thalamus, and decreased glutamate in the thalamus and striatum. Different longitudinal evolution of metabolic concentration was observed between TgF344-AD and WT groups. Namely, age-dependent trajectories differed between groups for creatine in the cortex and thalamus and for taurine in cortex, with significant decreases in Tg344-AD animals; whereas myo-inositol in the thalamus and striatum showed greater increase along time in the WT group. Additional analysis revealed divergent intra- and inter-regional metabolic coupling in each group. Thus, in cortex, strong couplings of N-acetylaspartate and creatine with myo-inositol in WT, but with taurine in TgF344-AD rats were observed; whereas in the hippocampus, myo-inositol, taurine and choline compounds levels were highly correlated in WT but not in TgF344-AD animals. Furthermore, specific cortex-hippocampus-striatum metabolic crosstalks were found for taurine levels in the WT group but for myo-inositol levels in the TgF344-AD rats. With a systems biology perspective of metabolic changes in AD pathology, our results shed light into the complex spatio-temporal metabolic rewiring in this disease, reported here for the first time. Age- and tissue-dependent imbalances between myo-inositol, taurine and other metabolites, such as creatine, unveil their role in disease progression, while pointing to the inadequacy of the latter as an internal reference for quantification.

Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) may provide information on pathophysiological changes associated with tau deposition in cognitively unimpaired older adults. In this study, the associations of posterior cingulate gyrus tau and amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition on PET with 1H MRS metabolite ratios acquired from bilateral posterior cingulate gyri were investigated in cognitively unimpaired older adults. Participants (n = 40) from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging underwent single-voxel sLASER 1H MRS from the posterior cingulate gyrus at 3 Tesla, 18F-flortaucipir, and 11C- Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) PET. An increase in posterior cingulate gyrus tau deposition, but not elevated Aβ, was associated with lower N-acetylaspartate/total creatine (tCr) and glutamate (Glu)/tCr ratios, and sex by tau interaction was observed in association with Glu/tCr. Higher tau levels in cognitively unimpaired older adults are associated with biomarkers of neural and synaptic injury even in the absence of cognitive impairment and these relationships appear to be stronger in women than in men.

Abstract
Background MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) allows in vivo assessment of brain metabolism and is of special interest in multiple sclerosis (MS), where morphologic MRI cannot depict major parts of disease activity. Purpose To evaluate the ability of 7.0-T MRSI to depict and visualize pathologic alterations in the normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) and cortical gray matter (CGM) in participants with MS and to investigate their relation to disability. Materials and Methods Free-induction decay MRSI was performed at 7.0 T. Participants with MS and age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited prospectively between January 2016 and December 2017. Metabolic ratios were obtained in white matter lesions, NAWM, and CGM regions. Subgroup analysis for MS-related disability based on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores was performed using analysis of covariance. Partial correlations were applied to explore associations between metabolic ratios and disability. Results Sixty-five participants with MS (mean age ± standard deviation, 34 years ± 9; 34 women) and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (mean age, 32 years ± 7; 11 women) were evaluated. Higher signal intensity of myo-inositol (mI) with and without reduced signal intensity of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) was visible on metabolic images in the NAWM of participants with MS. A higher ratio of mI to total creatine (tCr) was observed in the NAWM of the centrum semiovale of all MS subgroups, including participants without disability (marginal mean ± standard error, healthy controls: 0.78 ± 0.04; EDSS 0-1: 0.86 ± 0.03 [P = .02]; EDSS 1.5-3: 0.95 ± 0.04 [P < .001]; EDSS ≥3.5: 0.94 ± 0.04 [P = .001]). A lower ratio of NAA to tCr was found in MS subgroups with disabilities, both in their NAWM (marginal mean ± standard error, healthy controls: 1.46 ± 0.04; EDSS 1.5-3: 1.33 ± 0.03 [P = .03]; EDSS ≥3.5: 1.30 ± 0.04 [P = .01]) and CGM (marginal mean ± standard error, healthy controls: 1.42 ± 0.05; EDSS ≥3.5: 1.23 ± 0.05 [P = .006]). mI/NAA correlated with EDSS (NAWM of centrum semiovale: r = 0.47, P < .001; parietal NAWM: r = 0.43, P = .002; frontal NAWM: r = 0.34, P = .01; frontal CGM: r = 0.37, P = .004). Conclusion MR spectroscopic imaging at 7.0 T allowed in vivo visualization of multiple sclerosis pathologic findings not visible at T1- or T2-weighted MRI. Metabolic abnormalities in the normal-appearing white matter and cortical gray matter were associated with disability. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous progressive neurocognitive disorder. Although different neuroimaging modalities have been used for the identification of early diagnostic and prognostic factors of AD, there is no consolidated view of the findings from the literature. Here, we aim to provide a comprehensive account of different neural correlates of cognitive dysfunction via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI) (resting-state and task-related), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) modalities across the cognitive groups i.e., normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and AD. A total of 46 meta-analyses met the inclusion criteria, including relevance to MCI, and/or AD along with neuroimaging modality used with quantitative and/or functional data. Volumetric MRI identified early anatomical changes involving transentorhinal cortex, Brodmann area 28, followed by the hippocampus, which differentiated early AD from healthy subjects. A consistent pattern of disruption in the bilateral precuneus along with the medial temporal lobe and limbic system was observed in fMRI, while DTI substantiated the observed atrophic alterations in the corpus callosum among MCI and AD cases. Default mode network hypoconnectivity in bilateral precuneus (PCu)/posterior cingulate cortices (PCC) and hypometabolism/hypoperfusion in inferior parietal lobules and left PCC/PCu was evident. Molecular imaging revealed variable metabolite concentrations in PCC. In conclusion, the use of different neuroimaging modalities together may lead to identification of an early diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarker for AD.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disease which seriously endangers the health of the aged, is the most common etiology of senile dementia. With the increasing progress of neuroimaging technology, more and more imaging methods have been applied to study Alzheimer's disease. The emergence of integrated PET/MRI (Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a major advance in multimodal molecular imaging with many advantages on the structure of resolution and contrast of image over computed tomography (CT), PET and MRI. PET/MRI is now used stepwise in neurodegenerative diseases, and also has broad prospect of application in the early diagnosis of AD. In this review, we emphatically introduce the imaging advances of AD including functional imaging and molecular imaging, the advantages of PET/MRI over other imaging methods and prospects of PET/MRI in AD clinical diagnosis, especially in early diagnosis, clinical assessment and prediction on AD.

[PMID: 34638000 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2021.09.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2021] [Revised: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Elevated expression of β-amyloid (Aβ1-42) and tau are considered risk-factors for Alzheimer's disease in healthy older adults. We investigated the effect of aging and cerebrospinal fluid levels of Aβ1-42 and tau on 1) frontal metabolites measured with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and 2) cognition in cognitively normal older adults (n = 144; age range 50-85). Levels of frontal gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA+) and myo-inositol relative to creatine (mI/tCr) were predicted by age. Levels of GABA+ predicted cognitive performance better than mI/tCr. Additionally, we found that frontal levels of n-acetylaspartate relative to creatine (tNAA/tCr) were predicted by levels of t-tau. In cognitively normal older adults, levels of frontal GABA+ and mI/tCr are predicted by aging, with levels of GABA+ decreasing with age and the opposite for mI/tCr. These results suggest that age- and biomarker-related changes in brain metabolites are not only located in the posterior cortex as suggested by previous studies and further demonstrate that MRS is a viable tool in the study of aging and biomarkers associated with pathological aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many issues persist in the today's Alzheimer's disease (AD) screening and the breakthrough method is desired. OBJECTIVE We aim to validate the association between venous reflux and AD, and to develop a new method for AD screening. METHODS We examined spontaneous echo contrast, area, diameter, retrograde velocity, and anterograde velocity of the bilateral cervical internal jugular vein (IJV) using carotid ultrasonography. RESULTS A total of 112 patients participated in this study, with 26 diagnosed as AD. The proportion of both or either IJV spontaneous echo contrast (+) occupied 25 of total 26 AD patients, which showed 96.2%of sensitivity and 98.5%negative predictive value. The IJV velocities also showed significant correlation with AD diagnosis, although the IJV area or diameter did not. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the validation of the spontaneous echo contrast or velocities of the IJV are convenient AD diagnosis screening methods and that the venous reflux disturbance correlates with AD development.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Amyloid Beta, Tau Levels, Apolipoprotein, and 1H-MRS Brain Metabolites in Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Review. Acad Radiol 2021; 28:1447-1463.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is compelling evidence that neurochemical changes measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) occur at different phases of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the extent to which these neurochemical changes are associated with validated AD biomarkers and/or apolipoprotein (APOE) ε4 is yet to be established. OBJECTIVE This systematic review analyzed the available evidence on (1) neurochemical changes; and (2) the relations between brain metabolite and validated cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, and/or APOE in AD. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and gray literature were systematically screened for studies deemed fit for the purpose of the current systematic review. RESULTS Twenty four articles met the inclusion criteria. Decreased levels of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), NAA/(creatine) Cr, and NAA/(myo-inositol) ml, and increased ml, ml/Cr, Cho (choline)/Cr, and ml/NAA were found in the posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus. Increased ml is associated with increased tau levels, reduced NAA/Cr is associated with increased tau. ml/Cr is negatively correlated with Aβ42, and ml/Cr is positively correlated with t-tau. NAA and glutathione levels are reduced in APOE ε4 carriers. APOE ε4 exerts no modulatory effect on NAA/Cr. There is interaction between APOE ε4, Aβ42, and ml/Cr. CONCLUSION NAA, ml, NAA/Cr, NAA/ml and ml/Cr may be potentially useful biomarkers that may highlight functional changes in the clinical stages of AD. The combinations of ml and tau, NAA/Cr and Aβ42, and NAA/Cr and tau may support the diagnostic process of differentiating MCI/AD from healthy individuals. Large, longitudinal studies are required to clarify the effect of APOE ε4 on brain metabolites.

Abstract
Neurofibrillary tangles, one of the neuropathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, have a dynamic lifespan of maturity that associates with progressive neuronal dysfunction and cognitive deficits. As neurofibrillary tangles mature, the biology of the neuron undergoes extensive changes that may impact biomarker recognition and therapeutic targeting. Neurofibrillary tangle maturity encompasses three levels: pretangles, mature tangles, and ghost tangles. In this review, we detail distinct and overlapping characteristics observed in the human brain regarding morphologic changes the neuron undergoes, conversion from intracellular to extracellular space, tau immunostaining patterns, and tau isoform expression changes across the lifespan of the neurofibrillary tangle. Post-translational modifications of tau such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, conformational events, and truncations are discussed to contextualize tau immunostaining patterns. We summarize accumulated and emerging knowledge of neurofibrillary tangle maturity, discuss the current tools used to interpret the dynamic nature in the postmortem brain, and consider implications for cognitive dysfunction and tau biomarkers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the Alzheimer's disease metabolite signature through magnetic resonance spectroscopy in adults with Down syndrome and its relation with Alzheimer's disease biomarkers and cortical thickness. METHODS We included 118 adults with Down syndrome from the Down Alzheimer Barcelona Imaging Initiative and 71 euploid healthy controls from the Sant Pau Initiative on Neurodegeneration cohort. We measured the levels of myo-inositol (a marker of neuroinflammation) and N-acetyl-aspartate (a marker of neuronal integrity) in the precuneus using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We investigated the changes with age and along the disease continuum (asymptomatic, prodromal Alzheimer's disease, and Alzheimer's disease dementia stages). We assessed the relationship between these metabolites and Aβ42 /Aβ40 ratio, phosphorylated tau-181, neurofilament light (NfL), and YKL-40 cerebrospinal fluid levels as well as amyloid positron emission tomography uptake using Spearman correlations controlling for multiple comparisons. Finally, we computed the relationship between cortical thickness and metabolite levels using Freesurfer. RESULTS Asymptomatic adults with Down syndrome had a 27.5% increase in the levels of myo-inositol, but equal levels of N-acetyl-aspartate compared to euploid healthy controls. With disease progression, myo-inositol levels increased, whereas N-acetyl-aspartate levels decreased in symptomatic stages of the disease. Myo-inositol was associated with amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration markers, mainly at symptomatic stages of the disease, whereas N-acetyl-aspartate was related to neurodegeneration biomarkers in symptomatic stages. Both metabolites were significantly associated with cortical thinning, mainly in symptomatic participants. INTERPRETATION Magnetic resonance spectroscopy detects Alzheimer's disease related inflammation and neurodegeneration, and could be a good noninvasive disease-stage biomarker in Down syndrome.

Abstract
Identification of biological changes underlying the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) will help to identify and stage individuals prior to symptom onset. The limbic system, which supports episodic memory and is impaired early in AD, is a primary target. In this study, brain metabolism and microstructure evaluated by high field (7 Tesla) proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were evaluated in the limbic system of eight individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), nine with AD, and sixteen normal elderly controls (NEC). Left hippocampal glutamate and posterior cingulate N-acetyl aspartate concentrations were reduced in MCI and AD compared to NEC. Differences in DTI metrics indicated volume and white matter loss along the cingulum in AD compared to NEC. Metabolic and microstructural changes were associated with episodic memory performance assessed using Craft Story 21 Recall and Benson Complex Figure Copy. The current study suggests that metabolite concentrations measured using 1H-MRS may provide insight into the underlying metabolic and microstructural processes of episodic memory impairment.

Abstract
Mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are valuable but do not fully recapitulate human AD pathology, such as spontaneous Tau fibril accumulation and neuronal loss, necessitating the development of new AD models. The transgenic (TG) TgF344-AD rat has been reported to develop age-dependent AD features including neuronal loss and neurofibrillary tangles, despite only expressing APP and PSEN1 mutations, suggesting an improved modelling of AD hallmarks. Alterations in neuronal networks as well as learning performance and cognition tasks have been reported in this model, but none have combined a longitudinal, multimodal approach across multiple centres, which mimics the approaches commonly taken in clinical studies. We therefore aimed to further characterise the progression of AD-like pathology and cognition in the TgF344-AD rat from young-adults (6 months (m)) to mid- (12 m) and advanced-stage (18 m, 25 m) of the disease. Methods: TgF344-AD rats and wild-type (WT) littermates were imaged at 6 m, 12 m and 18 m with [18F]DPA-714 (TSPO, neuroinflammation), [18F]Florbetaben (Aβ) and [18F]ASEM (α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor) and with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and with (S)-[18F]THK5117 (Tau) at 15 and 25 m. Behaviour tests were also performed at 6 m, 12 m and 18 m. Immunohistochemistry (CD11b, GFAP, Aβ, NeuN, NeuroChrom) and Tau (S)-[18F]THK5117 autoradiography, immunohistochemistry and Western blot were also performed. Results: [18F]DPA-714 positron emission tomography (PET) showed an increase in neuroinflammation in TG vs wildtype animals from 12 m in the hippocampus (+11%), and at the advanced-stage AD in the hippocampus (+12%), the thalamus (+11%) and frontal cortex (+14%). This finding coincided with strong increases in brain microgliosis (CD11b) and astrogliosis (GFAP) at these time-points as assessed by immunohistochemistry. In vivo [18F]ASEM PET revealed an age-dependent increase uptake in the striatum and pallidum/nucleus basalis of Meynert in WT only, similar to that observed with this tracer in humans, resulting in TG being significantly lower than WT by 18 m. In vivo [18F]Florbetaben PET scanning detected Aβ accumulation at 18 m, and (S)-[18F]THK5117 PET revealed subsequent Tau accumulation at 25m in hippocampal and cortical regions. Aβ plaques were low but detectable by immunohistochemistry from 6 m, increasing further at 12 and 18 m with Tau-positive neurons adjacent to Aβ plaques at 18 m. NeuroChrom (a pan neuronal marker) immunohistochemistry revealed a loss of neuronal staining at the Aβ plaques locations, while NeuN labelling revealed an age-dependent decrease in hippocampal neuron number in both genotypes. Behavioural assessment using the novel object recognition task revealed that both WT & TgF344-AD animals discriminated the novel from familiar object at 3 m and 6 m of age. However, low levels of exploration observed in both genotypes at later time-points resulted in neither genotype successfully completing the task. Deficits in social interaction were only observed at 3 m in the TgF344-AD animals. By in vivo MRS, we showed a decrease in neuronal marker N-acetyl-aspartate in the hippocampus at 18 m (-18% vs age-matched WT, and -31% vs 6 m TG) and increased Taurine in the cortex of TG (+35% vs age-matched WT, and +55% vs 6 m TG). Conclusions: This multi-centre multi-modal study demonstrates, for the first time, alterations in brain metabolites, cholinergic receptors and neuroinflammation in vivo in this model, validated by robust ex vivo approaches. Our data confirm that, unlike mouse models, the TgF344-AD express Tau pathology that can be detected via PET, albeit later than by ex vivo techniques, and is a useful model to assess and longitudinally monitor early neurotransmission dysfunction and neuroinflammation in AD.

Abstract
Normal aging is associated with numerous biological changes, including altered brain metabolism and tissue chemistry. In vivo characterization of the neurochemical profile during aging is possible using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a powerful noninvasive technique capable of quantifying brain metabolites involved in physiological processes that become impaired with age. A prominent macromolecular signal underlies those of brain metabolites and is particularly visible at high fields; parameterization of this signal into components improves quantification and expands the number of biomarkers comprising the neurochemical profile. The present study reports, for the first time, the simultaneous absolute quantification of brain metabolites and individual macromolecules in aging male and female Fischer 344 rats, measured longitudinally using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 7 T. We identified age- and sex-related changes in neurochemistry, with prominent differences in metabolites implicated in anaerobic energy metabolism, antioxidant defenses, and neuroprotection, as well as numerous macromolecule changes. These findings contribute to our understanding of the neurobiological processes associated with healthy aging, critical for the proper identification and management of pathologic aging trajectories.

Abstract
Selective vulnerability of different brain regions is seen in many neurodegenerative disorders. The hippocampus and cortex are selectively vulnerable in Alzheimer's disease (AD), however the degree of involvement of the different brain regions differs among patients. We classified corticolimbic patterns of neurofibrillary tangles in postmortem tissue to capture extreme and representative phenotypes. We combined bulk RNA sequencing with digital pathology to examine hippocampal vulnerability in AD. We identified hippocampal gene expression changes associated with hippocampal vulnerability and used machine learning to identify genes that were associated with AD neuropathology, including SERPINA5, RYBP, SLC38A2, FEM1B, and PYDC1. Further histologic and biochemical analyses suggested SERPINA5 expression is associated with tau expression in the brain. Our study highlights the importance of embracing heterogeneity of the human brain in disease to identify disease-relevant gene expression.

[PMID: 33582163 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2021.104985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the correlation between histopathological, metabolic, and volumetric changes in the brain and plasma under experimental conditions. Adult male Wistar rats received fractionated whole-brain irradiation (fWBI) with a total dose of 32 Gy delivered in 4 fractions (dose 8 Gy per fraction) once a week on the same day for 4 consecutive weeks. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) and imaging were used to detect metabolic and volumetric changes in the brain and plasma. Histopathological changes in the brain were determined by image analysis of immunofluorescent stained sections. Metabolic changes in the brain measured by 1H MRS before, 48 h, and 9 weeks after the end of fWBI showed a significant decrease in the ratio of total N-acetylaspartate to total creatine (tNAA/tCr) in the corpus striatum. We found a significant decrease in glutamine + glutamate/tCr (Glx/tCr) and, conversely, an increase in gamma-aminobutyric acid to tCr (GABA/tCr) in olfactory bulb (OB). The ratio of astrocyte marker myoinositol/tCr (mIns/tCr) significantly increased in almost all evaluated areas. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based brain volumetry showed a significant increase in volume, and a concomitant increase in the T2 relaxation time of the hippocampus. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) plasma metabolomics displayed a significant decrease in the level of glucose and glycolytic intermediates and an increase in ketone bodies. The histomorphological analysis showed a decrease to elimination of neuroblasts, increased astrocyte proliferation, and a mild microglia response. The results of the study clearly reflect early subacute changes 9-11 weeks after fWBI with strong manifestations of brain edema, astrogliosis, and ongoing ketosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated a complex and dynamic neural crosstalk between the heart and brain. A heart-brain interaction has been described regarding cardiac ischemia, but the cerebral metabolic mechanisms involved are unknown. METHODS Male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into 2 groups: those receiving myocardial ischemia-reperfusion surgery (IR group, n =10) and surgical controls (Con group, n=10). These patterns of metabolic abnormalities in different brain regions were assessed using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (PMRS). RESULTS Results assessed by echocardiography showed resultant cardiac dysfunction following heart ischemia-reperfusion. Compared with the control group, the altered metabolites in the IR group were taurine and choline, and differences mainly occurred in the thalamus and brainstem. CONCLUSIONS Alterations in cerebral taurine and choline are important findings offering new avenues to explore neuroprotective strategies for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. These results provide preliminary evidence for understanding the cerebral metabolic process underlying myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia among elderly people. Despite enormous efforts, the pathogenesis of AD still remains unclear and no drug has yet been proved to be disease-modifying. As the basis of learning and memory, the plasticity of synapse and dendritic spine has been impaired during AD progression. Previous studies have showed a protective effect of L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP) on cognitive deficits in AD, we wonder whether this protective effect is associated with positive alterations on synapse and dendritic spines. In this study, we first of all confirmed the anti-dementia effect of L-NBP in 13-month-old APP/PS1 mice, and then investigated the alterations in synaptic and dendritic spine plasticity due to L-NBP treatment both in vivo and in vitro. We also conducted preliminary studies and found the possible mechanisms related to the inhibition of over-activated complement cascade and the remodeling of actin cytoskeleton. Besides, we also found extra benefits of L-NBP on presynaptic dystrophic neurites and attempted to give explanations from the view of autophagy regulation. Taken together, our study added some new evidence to the application of L-NBP in AD treatment and provided deeper insight into the relevant mechanisms for future study.

Regional Myo-Inositol, Creatine, and Choline Levels Are Higher at Older Age and Scale Negatively with Visuospatial Working Memory: A Cross-Sectional Proton MR Spectroscopy Study at 7 Tesla on Normal Cognitive Ageing. J Neurosci 2020; 40:8149-8159. [PMID: 32994337 DOI: 10.1523/jneurosci.2883-19.2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) has been used to assess regional neurochemical brain changes during normal ageing, but results have varied. Exploiting the increased sensitivity at ultra-high field, we performed 1H-MRS in 60 healthy human volunteers to asses age-related differences in metabolite levels and their relation to cognitive ageing. Sex was balanced, and participants were assigned to a younger, middle, and older group according to their age, ranging from 18 to 79 years. They underwent 7T 1H-MRS of the ACC, DLPFC, hippocampus, and thalamus and performed a visuospatial working memory task outside the scanner. A multivariate ANCOVA revealed a significant overall effect of age group on metabolite levels in all regions. Higher levels in the middle than the younger group were observed for myo-inositol (mIns) in DLPFC and hippocampus and total choline (tCho) in ACC. Higher levels in the older than the younger group were observed for mIns in hippocampus and thalamus, total creatine (tCr) and tCho in ACC and hippocampus; lower levels of glutamate (Glu) were observed in DLPFC. Higher levels in the older than the middle group were observed for mIns in hippocampus, tCr in ACC and hippocampus, tCho in hippocampus, and total N-acetyl aspartate (tNAA) in hippocampus. Working memory performance correlated negatively with tCr and tCho levels in ACC and mIns levels in hippocampus and thalamus, but not with tNAA or glutamate levels. As NAA and Glu are commonly regarded to reflect neuronal health and function and concentrations of mIns, tCr, and tCho are higher in glia than neurons, the findings of this study suggest a potential in vivo connection between cognitive ageing and higher regional levels of glia-related metabolites.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Neurochemical ageing is an integral component of age-related cognitive decline. Proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) studies of in vivo neurochemical changes across the lifespan have, however, yielded inconclusive results. 1H-MRS at ultra-high field strength can potentially improve the consistency of findings. Using 7T 1H-MRS, we assessed levels of mIns, tCr, and tCho (glia-related metabolites) and tNAA and Glu (neuron-related metabolites) in ACC, DLPFC, hippocampus, and thalamus. We found higher levels of glia-related metabolites in all brain regions in older individuals. Working memory performance correlated negatively with regional levels of glia-related metabolites. This study is the first to investigate normal ageing in these brain regions using 7T 1H-MRS and findings indicate that glia-related metabolites could be valuable in cognitive ageing studies.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that persons living with HIV (PLWH) demonstrate higher brain prefrontal cortex neuroinflammation and immunoproteasome expression compared to HIV-negative individuals; these associate positively with HIV levels. Lower expression of the antioxidant enzyme heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) was observed in PLWH with HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment (HIV-NCI) compared to neurocognitively normal PLWH. We hypothesized that similar expression patterns occur throughout cortical, subcortical, and brainstem regions in PLWH, and that neuroinflammation and immunoproteasome expression associate with lower expression of neuronal markers. We analyzed autopsied brains (15 regions) from 9 PLWH without HIV-NCI and 7 matched HIV-negative individuals. Using Western blot and RT-qPCR, we quantified synaptic, inflammatory, immunoproteasome, endothelial, and antioxidant biomarkers, including HO-1 and its isoform heme oxygenase 2 (HO-2). In these PLWH without HIV-NCI, we observed higher expression of neuroinflammatory, endothelial, and immunoproteasome markers in multiple cortical and subcortical regions compared to HIV-negative individuals, suggesting a global brain inflammatory response to HIV. Several regions, including posterior cingulate cortex, globus pallidus, and cerebellum, showed a distinct pattern of higher type I interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene and immunoproteasome expression. PLWH without HIV-NCI also had (i) stable or higher HO-1 expression and positive associations between (ii) HO-1 and HIV levels (CSF, plasma) and (iii) HO-1 expression and neuroinflammation, in multiple cortical, subcortical, and brainstem regions. We observed no differences in synaptic marker expression, suggesting little, if any, associated neuronal injury. We speculate that this may reflect a neuroprotective effect of a concurrent HO-1 antioxidant response despite global neuroinflammation, which will require further investigation.

Abstract
Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1), a glycosphingolipid storage disorder caused by deficient activity of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, is classically considered non-neuronopathic. However, current evidence challenges this view. Multiple studies show that mutations in GBA1 gene and decreased glucocerebrosidase activity are associated with increased risk for Parkinson disease. We tested the hypothesis that subjects with GD1 will show neurochemical abnormalities consistent with cerebral involvement. We performed Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 7 T to quantify neurochemical profiles in participants with GD1 (n = 12) who are on stable therapy. Age and gender matched healthy participants served as controls (n = 13). Neurochemical profiles were obtained from parietal white matter (PWM), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and putamen. Further, in the GD1 group, the neurochemical profiles were compared between individuals with and without a single L444P allele. We observed significantly lower levels of key neuronal markers, N-acetylaspartate, γ-aminobutyric acid, glutamate and glutamate-to-glutamine ratio in PCC of participants with GD1 compared to healthy controls (P < .015). Glutamate concentration was also lower in the putamen in GD1 (P = .01). Glucose + taurine concentration was significantly higher in PWM (P = .04). Interestingly, individuals without L444P had significantly lower aspartate and N-acetylaspartylglutamate in PCC (both P < .001), although this group was 7 years younger than those with an L444P allele. This study demonstrates neurochemical abnormalities in individuals with GD1, for which clinical and prognostic significance remains to be determined. Further studies in a larger cohort are required to confirm an association of neurochemical levels with mutation status and glucocerebrosidase structure and function. SYNOPSIS: Ultrahigh field magnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals abnormalities in neurochemical profiles in patients with GD1 compared to matched healthy controls.

Abstract
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by behavioral changes, language abnormality, as well as executive function deficits and motor impairment. In about 30-50% of FTLD patients, an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance was found with major mutations in the MAPT, GRN, and the C9orf72 repeat expansion. These mutations could lead to neurodegenerative pathology years before clinical symptoms onset. With potential disease-modifying treatments that are under development, non-invasive biomarkers that help determine the early brain changes in presymptomatic FTLD patients will be critical for tracking disease progression and enrolling the right participants into the clinical trials at the right time during the disease course. In recent years, there is increasing evidence that a number of imaging biomarkers show the abnormalities during the presymptomatic stage. Imaging biomarkers of presymptomatic familial FTLD may provide insight into the underlying neurodegenerative process years before symptom onset. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has demonstrated cortical degeneration with a mutation-specific neurodegeneration pattern years before onset of clinical symptoms in presymptomatic familial FTLD mutation carriers. In addition, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has shown the loss of white matter microstructural integrity in the presymptomatic stage of familial FTLD. Furthermore, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS), which provides a non-invasive measurement of brain biochemistry, has identified early neurochemical abnormalities in presymptomatic MAPT mutation carriers. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has demonstrated the glucose hypometabolism in the presymptomatic stage of familial FTLD. Also, a novel PET ligand, 18F-AV-1451, has been used in this group to evaluate tau deposition in the brain. Promising imaging biomarkers for presymptomatic familial FTLD have been identified and assessed for specificity and sensitivity for accurate prediction of symptom onset and tracking disease progression during the presymptomatic stage when clinical measures are not useful. Furthermore, identifying imaging biomarkers for the presymptomatic stage is important for the design of disease-modifying trials. We review the recent progress in imaging biomarkers of the presymptomatic phase of familial FTLD and discuss the imaging techniques and analysis methods, with a focus on the potential implication of these imaging techniques and their utility in specific mutation types.

Abstract
1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can reveal changes in brain biochemistry in vivo in humans and has been applied to late onset Alzheimer disease (AD). Carriers of mutations for autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease (ADAD) may show changes in levels of metabolites prior to the onset of clinical symptoms. Proton MR spectra were acquired at 1.5 T for 16 cognitively asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic mutation carriers (CDR < 1) and 11 non-carriers as part of a comprehensive cross-sectional study of preclinical ADAD. Levels of N-acetyl-aspartate+N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAA), glutamate/glutamine (Glx), creatine/phosphocreate (Cr), choline (Cho), and myo-inositol (mI) in the left and right anterior cingulate and midline posterior cingulate and precuneus were compared between mutation carriers (MCs) and non-carriers (NCs) using multivariate analysis of variance with age as a covariate. Among MCs, correlations between metabolite levels and time until expected age of dementia diagnosis were calculated. MCs had significantly lower levels of NAA and Glx in the left pregenual anterior cingulate cortex, and lower levels of NAA and higher levels of mI and Cho in the precuneus compared to NCs. Increased levels of mI were seen in these regions in association with increased proximity to expected age of dementia onset. MRS shows effects of ADAD similar to those seen in late onset AD even during the preclinical period including lower levels of NAA and higher levels of mI. These indices of neuronal and glial dysfunction might serve as surrogate outcome measures in prevention studies of putative disease-modifying agents.

Abstract
Dementia occurs mainly in the elderly and is associated with cognitive decline and impairment of activities of daily living. The most common forms of dementia are Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). To date, there are no causal options for therapy, but drug and non-drug treatments can positively modulate the course of the disease. Valid biomarkers are needed for the earliest possible and reliable diagnosis, but so far, such biomarkers have only been established for AD and require invasive and expensive procedures. In this context, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) provides a non-invasive and widely available technique for investigating the biochemical milieu of brain tissue in vivo. Numerous studies have been conducted for AD, but for VD, DLB, and FTD the number of studies is limited. Nevertheless, MRS can detect measurable metabolic alterations in common dementias. However, most of the studies conducted are too heterogeneous to assess the potential use of MRS technology in clinical applications. In the future, technological advances may increase the value of MRS in dementia diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes the results of MRS studies conducted in common dementias and discusses the reasons for the lack of transfer into clinical routine.

[DOI: 10.2174/1871527318666190507102340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Revised: 08/10/2018] [Accepted: 08/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Background & Objective:Oxidative stress (OS) is the secondary source of an injury in consequence to the earlier caused primary injury; it is the condition of an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants within the physiological system. OS causes alterations in proteins and DNA structure, leading to inflammation, apoptotic cell death, and tissue damage. Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Glioma-induced neurodegeneration and the normal aging-related neuro-degeneration are primarily associated with the increased OS. The present review article is committed to delivering a comprehensive overview of the current neuroimaging modalities which estimates an indirect correlate of OS in the brain. OS-induced changes in white matter tracts and the gray matter volumes are reviewed assessing the role of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) respectively. Further, the role of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to assess the OS-induced alterations of chemical moieties, and thus the resultant structural implications in the neurological disorders are also briefly as well as precisely reviewed.Conclusions:In the present review article we present an overview of the role of neuroimaging modalities in the diagnosis, and longitudinal assessment during treatment of the OS induced changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The objective of this study was to longitudinally investigate the trajectory of change in 1 H MRS measurements in asymptomatic MAPT mutation carriers who became symptomatic during follow-up, and to determine the time at which the neurochemical alterations accelerated during disease progression. METHODS We identified eight MAPT mutations carriers who transitioned from asymptomatic to symptomatic disease during follow-up. All participants were longitudinally followed with an average of 7.75 years (range 4-11 years) and underwent two or more single voxel 1 H MRS examinations from the posterior cingulate voxel, with a total of 60 examinations. The rate of longitudinal change for each metabolite was estimated using linear mixed models. A flex point model was used to estimate the flex time point of the change in slope. RESULTS The decrease in the NAA/mI ratio accelerated 2.09 years prior to symptom onset, and continued to decline. A similar trajectory was observed in the presumed glial marker mI/Cr ratio accelerating 1.86 years prior to symptom onset. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the potential use of longitudinal 1 H MRS for monitoring the neurodegenerative progression in MAPT mutation carriers starting from the asymptomatic stage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is associated with several neuropathologic disorders, including corticobasal degeneration and Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHOD In this report, we studied 43 AD patients with CBS (AD-CBS) and compared them with 42 AD patients with typical amnestic syndrome (AD-AS), as well as 15 cases of corticobasal degeneration and CBS pathology. RESULTS Unlike AD-AS, AD-CBS had prominent motor problems, including limb apraxia (90%), myoclonus (81%), and gait disorders (70%). Alien limb phenomenon was reported in 26% and cortical sensory loss in 14%. Language problems were also more frequent in AD-CBS, and memory impairment was less frequent. AD-CBS had more tau pathology in perirolandic cortices but less in superior temporal cortex than AD-AS. In addition, AD-CBS had greater neuronal loss in the substantia nigra. DISCUSSION AD-CBS is a clinicopathological subtype of AD with an atypical distribution of Alzheimer-type tau pathology. Greater neuronal loss in the substantia nigra may contribute to Parkinsonism which is not a feature of typical AD.

Abstract
A number of studies have shown that early-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is
associated with abnormal brain glucose metabolism before cognitive decline,
which may be the key pathological change of asymptomatic AD. The pathogenesis of
AD in traditional Chinese medicine is kidney deficiency and turbid phlegm. Based
on this, GAPT (a mixture of herbal extracts) was made to invigorate kidney Yang
and eliminate phlegm. Previous studies have shown that GAPT can improve and
delay the memory decline, but the specific therapeutic target of AD in an early
stage has not been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect
of GAPT on glucose metabolism in the early stage of AD. Eighty-eight 3-month-old
male APP/PS1 transgenic mice were randomly divided into model group; donepezil
group; and low, middle and high GAPT dosage groups. Twelve 3-month-old C57BL/6J
mice were used as a control group. The Morris water maze test and the Step-Down
Passive-Avoidance test were used to evaluate learning and memory ability.
Cerebral extraction and the accumulation of glucose were scanned with a
micro-positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging system. Immunohistochemistry,
western blot analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect
the expression of the PI3K/AKT-mTOR signalling pathway–related proteins and
messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in hippocampus of APP/PS1 transgenic mice after 3 months
of drug administration. GAPT can shorten the escape latency and error numbers
compared to the model group. In micro-PET imaging analysis, GAPT can increase
the glucose uptake average rate in the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal
lobe and hippocampus. The immunohistochemistry, western blot analysis and PCR
results indicated that GAPT can increase the expression of PI3K, AKT, GLUT1 and
GLUT3 in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 transgenic mice. In summary, GAPT can
improve brain glucose metabolism damage in APP/PS1 transgenic mice, mainly by
increasing brain glucose uptake, increasing glucose transport and improving the
insulin signalling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the frontal lobe proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) abnormalities in asymptomatic and symptomatic carriers of microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) mutations. METHODS We recruited patients with MAPT mutations from 5 individual families, who underwent single voxel 1H MRS from the medial frontal lobe at 3T (n = 19) from the Longitudinal Evaluation of Familial Frontotemporal Dementia Subjects (LEFFTDS) Study at the Mayo Clinic site. Asymptomatic MAPT mutation carriers (n = 9) had Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (FTLD-CDR SOB) score of zero, and symptomatic MAPT mutation carriers (n = 10) had a median FTLD-CDR SOB score of 5. Noncarriers from healthy first-degree relatives of the patients were recruited as controls (n = 25). The demographic aspects and 1H MRS metabolite ratios were compared by use of the Fisher exact test for sex and linear mixed models to account for within-family correlations. We used Tukey contrasts for pair-wise comparisons. RESULTS Asymptomatic MAPT mutation carriers had lower neuronal marker N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatine (Cr) (p = 0.001) and lower NAA/myo-inositol (mI) (p = 0.026) than noncarriers after adjustment for age. Symptomatic MAPT mutation carriers had lower NAA/Cr (p = 0.01) and NAA/mI (p = 0.01) and higher mI/Cr (p = 0.02) compared to noncarriers after adjustment for age. Furthermore, NAA/Cr (p = 0.006) and NAA/mI (p < 0.001) ratios decreased, accompanied by an increase in mI/Cr ratio (p = 0.001), as the ages of carriers approached and passed the age at symptom onset. CONCLUSION Frontal lobe neurochemical alterations measured with 1H MRS precede the symptom onset in MAPT mutation carriers. Frontal lobe 1H MRS is a potential biomarker for early neurodegenerative processes in MAPT mutation carriers.

Abstract
Early assessment of adverse drug effects in humans is critical to avoid long-lasting harm. However, current approaches for early detection of adverse effects still lack predictive and organ-specific biomarkers to evaluate undesired responses in humans. Microphysiological systems (MPSs) are in vitro representations of human tissues and provide organ-specific translational insights for physiological processes. In this study, a brain MPS was utilized to assess molecular signatures of neurotoxic and non-neurotoxic compounds using targeted and untargeted molecular approaches. The brain MPS comprising of human embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived neural progenitor cells seeded on three-dimensional (3D), chemically defined, polyethylene glycol hydrogels was treated with the neurotoxic drug, bortezomib and the non-neurotoxic drug, tamoxifen over 14-days. Possible toxic effects were monitored with human N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) kinetics, which correlates the neuronal function/health and DJ-1/PARK7, an oxidative stress biomarker. Changes in NAA levels were observed as early as 2-days post-bortezomib treatment, while onset detection of oxidative stress (DJ-1) was delayed until 4-days post-treatment. Separately, the untargeted extracellular metabolomics approach revealed distinct fingerprints 2-days post-bortezomib treatment as perturbations in cysteine and glycerophospholipid metabolic pathways. These results suggest accumulation of reactive oxygen species associated with oxidative stress, and disruption of membrane structure and integrity. The NAA response was strongly correlated with changes in a subset of the detected metabolites at the same time point 2-days post-treatment. Moreover, these metabolite changes correlated strongly with DJ-1 levels measured at the later time point (4-days post-treatment). This suggests that early cellular metabolic dysfunction leads to later DJ-1 leakage and cell death, and that early measurement of this subset of metabolites could predict the later occurrence of cell death. While the approach demonstrated here provides an individual case study for proof of concept, we suggest that this approach can be extended for preclinical toxicity screening and biomarker discovery studies.
