PG - 3130-3139 LID - S0197-4580(15)00439-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2015.08.022 [doi] AB - Factors associated with maintaining good cognition into old age are unclear. Decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) contributes to memory loss in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and soluble assemblies of amyloid-beta (Abeta) and tau contribute to neurodegeneration. However, it is unknown whether AD-type neuropathology, soluble Abeta and tau, or levels of BDNF and its receptor tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) correlate with dementia in the oldest-old. We examined these targets in postmortem Brodmann's areas 7 and 9 (BA7 and BA9) in 4 groups of subjects >90 years old: (1) no dementia/no AD pathology, (2) no dementia/AD pathology, (3) dementia/no AD pathology, (4) dementia/AD pathology. In BA7, BDNF messenger RNA correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination scores and was decreased in demented versus nondemented subjects, regardless of pathology. Soluble Abeta42 was increased in both groups with AD pathology, demented or not, compared to no dementia/no AD pathology subjects. Groups did not differ in TrkB isoform levels or in levels of total soluble tau, individual tau isoforms, threonine-181 tau phosphorylation, or ratio of phosphorylated 3R-4R isoforms. In BA9, soluble Abeta42 correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination scores and with BDNF messenger RNA expression. Thus, soluble Abeta42 and BDNF, but not TrkB or soluble tau, correlate with dementia in the oldest-old. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
