Previous studies reported a trend toward increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) α-synuclein (α-syn) concentrations in AD compared with other neurodegenerative diseases and healthy controls. METHODS: The pathophysiological role of CSF α-syn in asymptomatic subjects at risk of AD has not been explored. We performed a large-scale cross-sectional observational monocentric study of preclinical individuals at risk for AD (INSIGHT-preAD). RESULTS: We found a positive association between CSF α-syn concentrations and brain β-amyloid deposition measures as mean cortical standard uptake value ratios. We demonstrate positive correlations between CSF α-syn and both CSF t-tau and p-tau181 concentrations. DISCUSSION: Animal models presented evidence, indicating that α-syn may synergistically and directly induce fibrillization of both tau and β-amyloid. Our data indicate an association of CSF α-syn with AD-related pathophysiological mechanisms, during the preclinical phase of the disease. date: 2018-12 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jalz.2018.06.3053 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1576001 doi: 10.1016/j.jalz.2018.06.3053 pii: S1552-5260(18)33241-2 lyricists_name: Zetterberg, Henrik lyricists_id: HZETT94 actors_name: Jayawardana, Anusha actors_id: AJAYA51 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Alzheimers Dement volume: 14 number: 12 pagerange: 1623-1631 event_location: United States issn: 1552-5279 citation: Vergallo, A; Bun, R-S; Toschi, N; Baldacci, F; Zetterberg, H; Blennow, K; Cavedo, E; ...
