Modeling the simultaneous dynamics of proteins in blood plasma and the cerebrospinal fluid in human in vivo

The analysis of protein dynamics or turnover in patients has the potential to reveal altered protein recycling such as in Alzheimer disease, and to provide informative data regarding drug efficacy, or certain biological processes. The observed protein dynamics in a solid tissue or a fluid is the net result of protein synthesis and degradation, but also transport across biological compartments. We report an accurate 3-biological compartment model able simultaneously account for the protein dynamics observed in blood plasma and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) including a hidden central nervous system (CNS) compartment. We successfully applied this model to 69 proteins of a single individual displaying similar or very different dynamics in plasma and CSF. This study put a strong emphasis on the methods and tools needed develop this type of model. We believe it will be useful to any researcher dealing with protein dynamics data modeling.

Enabling population protein dynamics through Bayesian modeling

The knowledge of protein dynamics or turnover in patients provides invaluable information related to certain diseases, drug efficacy, or biological processes. A great corpus of experimental and computational methods has been developed, including by us, in the case of human patients followed in vivo. Moving one step further, we propose here a new modeling approach to capture the highly relevant notion of population protein dynamics. Using two data sets, we show that models inspired by population pharmacokinetics can accurately capture protein turnover within a cohort of individuals, even in presence of substantial inter-individual variability. Such models pave the way for comparative studies searching for altered dynamics or biomarkers in diseases.

In Vivo Large Scale Mapping Of Protein Turnover In The Human Cerebrospinal Fluid

The extraction of accurate physiological parameters from clinical samples provides a unique perspective to understand disease etiology and evolution, including under therapy. We introduce a new proteomics framework to map patient proteome dynamics in vivo, either proteome wide or in large targeted panels. We applied it to ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and could determine the turnover parameters of almost 200 proteins, whereas a handful were known previously. We covered a large number of neuron biology- and immune system-related proteins including many biomarkers and drug targets. This first large data set unraveled a significant relationship between turnover and protein origin that relates to our ability to investigate the central nervous system physiology precisely in future studies. Our data constitute a reference in CSF biology as well as a repertoire of peptides for the community to design new proteome dynamics analyses. The disclosed methods apply to other fluids or tissues provided sequential sample collection can be performed.

Tau hyperphosphorylation on T217 in cerebrospinal fluid is specifically associated to amyloid-β pathology

IntroductionModification of CSF tau phosphorylation in AD remains controversial since total-tau and phospho-tau levels measured by immunoassays are highly correlated.\n\nMethodsStoichiometry of phosphorylation of CSF tau was monitored on five sites by mass spectrometry. We compared 50 participants with AD at mild to moderate stages, others tauopathies and controls then confirmed our results in a cohort of 86 participants cognitively normal or with mild cognitive impairment and stratified according to amyloid-{beta} status.\n\nResultsChanges in tau phosphorylation rates were observed in AD participants but not in other tauopathies. T181 appeared slightly hyperphosphorylated in AD. In comparison, T217 phosphorylation, was considerably modified. We demonstrated T217 hyperphosphorylation occurred systematically in amyloid positive participants even at preclinical stage (AUC 0.999). T217 phosphorylation change specificity overpasses other phosphorylated tau sites investigated in this study, but also CSF total-tau and p-tau levels.\n\nDiscussionCSF T217 hyperphosphorylation defines a specific tauopathy status concomitant with {beta}-amyloidosis.
