S-[18F]THK-5117 could be a potential tracer to detect pathological tau deposits in brain. However, no previous study have correlated S-[18F]THK-5117 uptake in PET with brain biopsy verified tau pathology in vivo. OBJECTIVE: Here we aim to evaluate the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers, S-[18F]THK-5117, and [11C]PIB PET against tau and amyloid lesions in brain biopsy. METHODS: Fourteen patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) with previous shunt surgery including right frontal cortical brain biopsy and CSF Aβ1 - 42, total tau, and P-tau181 measures, underwent brain MRI, [11C]PIB PET, and S-[18F]THK-5117 PET imaging. RESULTS: Seven patients had amyloid-β (Aβ, 4G8) plaques, two both Aβ and phosphorylated tau (Pτ, AT8) and one only Pτ in biopsy. As expected, increased brain biopsy Aβ was well associated with higher [11C]PIB uptake in PET. However, S-[18F]THK-5117 uptake did not show any statistically significant correlation with either brain biopsy Pτ or CSF P-tau181 or total tau. CONCLUSION: S-[18F]THK-5117 lacked clear association with neuropathologically verified tau pathology in brain biopsy probably, at least partially, due to off-target binding. Further studies with larger samples of patients with different tau tracers are urgently needed. The detection of simultaneous Aβ and tau pathology in iNPH is important since that may indicate poorer and especially shorter response for CSF shunt surgery compared with no pathology. date: 2018 date_type: published publisher: IOS PRESS official_url: https://doi.org/10.3233/JAD-180071 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1562344 doi: 10.3233/JAD-180071 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Zetterberg, Henrik lyricists_id: HZETT94 actors_name: Novi, Maya actors_id: MNOVI52 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease volume: 64 number: 1 pagerange: 171-179 pages: 9 issn: 1875-8908 citation: Leinonen, V; Rauramaa, T; Johansson, J; Bottelbergs, A; Tesseur, I; van der Ark, P; Pemberton, D; ...
