Albumin and multiple sclerosis
Open accessAbstract
Leakage of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a common pathological feature in multiple sclerosis (MS). Following a breach of the BBB, albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma, gains access to CNS tissue where it is exposed to an inflammatory milieu and tissue damage, e.g., demyelination. Once in the CNS, albumin can participate in protective mechanisms. For example, due to its high concentration and molecular properties, albumin becomes a target for oxidation and nitration reactions. Furthermore, albumin binds metals and heme thereby limiting their ability to produce reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species. Albumin also has the potential to worsen disease. Similar to pathogenic processes that occur during epilepsy, extravasated albumin could induce the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and affect the ability of astrocytes to maintain potassium homeostasis thereby possibly making neurons more vulnerable to glutamate exicitotoxicity, which is thought to be a pathogenic mechanism in MS. The albumin quotient, albumin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/albumin in serum, is used as a measure of blood-CSF barrier dysfunction in MS, but it may be inaccurate since albumin levels in the CSF can be influenced by multiple factors including: 1) albumin becomes proteolytically cleaved during disease, 2) extravasated albumin is taken up by macrophages, microglia, and astrocytes, and 3) the location of BBB damage affects the entry of extravasated albumin into ventricular CSF. A discussion of the roles that albumin performs during MS is put forth.

Brain macrophages, microglia, astrocytes, neurons, and NG2-positive cells can take up albumin.
“Given that brain macrophages, microglia, astrocytes, neurons, and neuronglial antigen 2-positive cells can take up albumin (76, 286, 355)”

The Review section on BBB damage says albumin is taken up by subarachnoidal macrophages, astrocytes, microglia, and neurons. The passages found do not address uptake by NG2-positive cells, so that part of the attributed claim is unsupported by our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn multiple sclerosis patients at different stages of the disease, elevated Qalb values, increased MMP-9 activity in CSF and serum, and increased CSF leukocyte count have been shown, all indicative of blood-brain barrier breakdown.
“Elevated Qalb values (355), increased MMP-9 activity in CSF and serum (122, 168), and increased CSF leukocyte count (122), all indicative of BBB breakdown, have been shown in MS patients at different stages of the disease.”

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.
