NEUROLOGICAL REVIEW: Blood Protein Signature for the Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease
Britschgi, M., Wyss-Coray, T. Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0000
Alzheimer disease (AD) has become one of the main health concerns for the elderly population in the United States. Current treatments target symptoms only, but several advanced clinical trials are testing new drugs that are potentially disease modifying. Because AD is still difficult to diagnose in its earliest stages and the disease process is estimated to start many years before current clinical diagnosis is made, accurate and simple diagnostic tools are urgently needed. We recently described a blood-based panel of secreted signaling proteins that distinguishes between blinded samples from patients with AD and control subjects with high accuracy. The same proteins also predicted progression to AD in preclinical patients with mild cognitive impairment several years before clinical diagnosis for AD was made. Herein, we describe these findings and discuss the potential for a more general application of our proteomic approach in understanding and diagnosing disease.Published online December 8, 2008 (doi:10.1001/archneurol.2008.530).
ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTION: Heterogeneity in Response to Interferon Beta in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A 3-Year Monthly Imaging Study
Chiu, A. W., Richert, N., Ehrmantraut, M., Ohayon, J., Gupta, S., Bomboi, G., Gaindh, D., Cantor, F. K., Frank, J. A., McFarland, H. F., Bagnato, F. Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0000
Objectives To investigate the heterogeneity in magnetic resonance image (MRI) patterns of response to interferon beta across patients with multiple sclerosis or within an individual patient over time.Design, Setting, and Patients Fifteen patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis underwent monthly MRIs and clinical examinations (6-month pretherapy phase and 36-month therapy phase) and bimonthly neutralizing antibody tests. On each MRI, the total number of contrast-enhancing lesions was noted. Therapy MRI responders were defined as those with a reduction of 60% or more in the total number of contrast-enhancing lesions during each semester of therapy.Intervention Subcutaneous administration of interferon beta-1b, 250 µg, every other day for 3 years.Main Outcome Measure Reduction in the number of contrast-enhancing lesions.Results Eight patients (53.3%) were MRI responders and 7 (46.7%) were nonresponders. Of those 7, 3 (20.0%) had only an initial optimal reduction of the total number of contrast-enhancing lesions, 2 (13.3%) never reached an optimal response, and 2 (13.3%) had a delayed optimal response. No clear association between neutralizing antibody profile and MRI response was evident.Conclusions Multiple MRI evaluations disclose that approximately only half of the patients treated with interferon beta achieve and maintain a full response to the drug over time, although an additional small number of individuals may still restore an optimal response to the drug after an initial failure.Published online November 10, 2008 (doi:10.1001/archneur.66.1.noc80047).
