Abstract

Lower cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPTXR) are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but few studies show longitudinal changes in CSF NPTXR. In the present study, CSF NPTXR was measured at 0, 12, and 24 months using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The study groups included 28 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (MCI-MCI), 27 MCI patients who progressed to AD (MCI-AD) during the study, and 28 AD patients (AD-AD). Baseline levels were assessed for 46 control individuals. AD patients had lower baseline CSF NPTXR than controls (p = 0.023). Linear mixed models estimated a 6.7% annualized decrease in CSF NPTXR in the AD-AD group, significantly different from MCI-MCI (p = 0.03) and MCI-AD groups (p = 0.048). CSF NPTXR did not correlate with CSF Aβ42 and weakly correlated with CSF Aβ40, T-tau, P-tau (all R 2 < 0.22, p < 0.06). These trends suggest CSF NPTXR may be a candidate biomarker of AD progression but not sufficiently sensitive to resolve when patients convert from MCI to dementia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
