{"doi":"10.1002/alz.14487","title":"Spatial proteomic differences in chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Alzheimer's disease, and primary age‐related tauopathy hippocampi","abstract":"INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD), primary age-related tauopathy (PART), and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) all feature hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau)-immunoreactive neurofibrillary degeneration, but differ in neuroanatomical distribution and progression of neurofibrillary degeneration and amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition. METHODS: We used Nanostring GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiling to compare the expression of 70 proteins in neurofibrillary tangle (NFT)-bearing and non-NFT-bearing neurons in hippocampal CA1, CA2, and CA4 subregions and entorhinal cortex of cases with autopsy-confirmed AD (n = 8), PART (n = 7), and CTE (n = 5). RESULTS: There were numerous subregion-specific differences related to Aβ processing, autophagy/proteostasis, inflammation, gliosis, oxidative stress, neuronal/synaptic integrity, and p-tau epitopes among these different disorders. DISCUSSION: These results suggest that there are subregion-specific proteomic differences among the neurons of these disorders, which appear to be influenced to a large degree by the presence of hippocampal Aβ. These proteomic differences may play a role in the differing hippocampal p-tau distribution and pathogenesis of these disorders. HIGHLIGHTS: Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change (ADNC), possible primary age-related tauopathy (PART), definite PART, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) can be differentiated based on the proteomic composition of their neurofibrillary tangle (NFT)- and non-NFT-bearing neurons. The proteome of these NFT- and non-NFT-bearing neurons is largely correlated with the presence or absence of amyloid beta (Aβ). Neurons in CTE and definite PART (Aβ-independent pathologies) share numerous proteomic similarities that distinguish them from ADNC and possible PART (Aβ-positive pathologies).","journal":"Alzheimer s & Dementia","year":2024,"id":443963,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":8,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.5551,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":694061,"name":"Miranda E.
