Abstract

Objective: To determine whether exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can serve as diagnostic biomarkers, we assessed miRNA expression in the Genetic Frontotemporal Dementia Initiative (GENFI) cohort and in sporadic FTD. Methods: GENFI participants were either carriers of a pathogenic mutation in progranulin, chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 or microtubule-associated protein tau or were at risk of carrying a mutation because a first-degree relative was a known symptomatic mutation carrier. Exosomes were isolated from CSF of 23 presymptomatic and 15 symptomatic mutation carriers and 11 healthy non-mutation carriers. Expression of 752 miRNAs was measured using quantitative PCR (qPCR) arrays and validated by qPCR using individual primers. MiRNAs found differentially expressed in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic mutation carriers were further evaluated in a cohort of 17 patients with sporadic FTD, 13 patients with sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and 10 healthy controls (HCs) of similar age. Results: In the GENFI cohort, miR-204-5p and miR-632 were significantly decreased in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic mutation carriers. Decrease of miR-204-5p and miR-632 revealed receiver operator characteristics with an area of 0.89 (90% CI 0.79 to 0.98) and 0.81 (90% CI 0.68 to 0.93), respectively, and when combined an area of 0.93 (90% CI 0.87 to 0.99). In sporadic FTD, only miR-632 was significantly decreased compared with AD and HCs. Decrease of miR-632 revealed an area of 0.90 (90% CI 0.81 to 0.98). Conclusions: Exosomal miR-204-5p and miR-632 have potential as diagnostic biomarkers for genetic FTD and miR-632 also for sporadic FTD.

Figures

Figure 1 Relative expression of miR-204-5p and miR-632 is lower in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic mutation carriers. MiRNA expression was calculated relative to that of healthy non-mutation carriers. Data from individuals with any of the three mutations were grouped, and expression of both miR-204-5p and miR-632 was found to be significantly lower in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic individuals (A). Only data from individuals with a GRN mutation were grouped, and expression of both miR-204-5p and miR-632 was found to be significantly lower in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic individuals (B). Only data from individuals with a C9orf72 mutation were grouped, and expression of miR-204-5p was found to be significantly lower in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic individuals (C). Only data from individuals with any of the three mutations and the bvFTD phenotype were grouped, and expression of both miR-204-5p and miR-632 was found to be significantly lower in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic individuals (D). Welch’s t-tests were corrected for multiple comparisons using the Holm-Sidak method, *P<0.05, ***P<0.005. Mean and SD of mean are shown. C9orf72, chromosome 9 open reading frame 72; GRN, progranulin; bvFTD, behavioural variant FTD.

Figure 4 Venn diagrams of miRNA targets. Overlap of mRNA targeted by miRNAs found decreased in symptomatic compared with presymptomatic mutation carriers (miR-204-5p and miR-632), mRNAs enriched in the human frontal and temporal lobes (frontotemporal) and mRNAs implicated in Wnt signalling (A). Overlap of mRNA targeted by miRNAs less frequently detectable in FTD (miR-23b-3p, miR-326, miR-877-5p, miR-892a, miR-30b-5p and miR-373-3p), more frequently detected in FTD (miR-708-3p), mRNAs enriched in the human frontal and temporal lobes and mRNAs implicated in Wnt signalling, apoptosis, MAPK signalling, endocytosis, notch signalling or neurotrophin signalling (B). Number of validated targets within a pathway are shown in grey cells, and % of targets found in each pathway are shown in brackets below.

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.
