Intrathecal inflammation precedes development of Alzheimer's disease
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) values of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin 1beta (IL1beta), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), GM-CSF, of the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGFbeta, of tau protein, a marker for neurodegeneration, and of beta amyloid (Abeta), a protein involved in the formation of senile plaques, in prospectively followed up patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). METHODS: Analyses of CSF levels of TNFalpha, IL1beta, GM-CSF, TGFbeta, betaa, and tau protein were performed using ELISA in 56 patients with MCI who were followed up prospectively and in 25 age matched, healthy controls. RESULTS: Patients with MCI displayed significantly higher levels of TNFalpha and tau protein and significantly lower levels of TGFbeta and Abeta compared with the healthy controls. After nine months of follow up, 25 patients still displayed MCI while the remaining 31 patients had progressed to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Only MCI patients who progressed to AD at follow up, showed significantly higher CSF levels of TNFalpha than controls. In addition, reduced CSF-Abeta42 levels were only found in MCI patients that progressed to AD, further supporting the notion that disturbed metabolism of Abeta is an early finding in AD. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate increased production of the proinflammatory cytokine, TNFalpha and decreased production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGFbeta in patients with MCI at risk to develop AD, suggesting a propensity towards inflammation in this patient group and indicating that CNS inflammation is a early hallmark in the pathogenesis of AD.

TNF-α levels are elevated in the CSF of AD patients and correlate with disease progression.
“TNF-α levels were also found to be elevated in the CSF of AD patients and correlate with disease progression [145, 146].”

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.
