Dementia is characterized by progressive deterioration in cognition function and behavior that is sufficiently severe to compromise social and occupational functioning
The pathogenesis of dementia remains elusive Thus there is a need to increase our understanding of the mechanisms leading to the most common forms of dementia A better understanding of the disease may enable an earlier diagnosis and importantly a causal treatment of Alzheimer as opposed to the merely symptomatic options available to day
An experiment with rats and memory might already have taken the first step towards this The experiment has demonstrated that administration of IGF-II to rats significantly enhances memory retention and prevents forgetting Furthermore inhibitory avoidance learning leads to an increase in the hippocampal expression of IGF-II Finally yet importantly injections of recombinant IGF-II into hippocampus after training or memory retrieval significantly enhance memory retention and prevent forgetting
The spinal fluid and the serum will be analysed at the Medical Research Laboratory The immunological concentrations of IGF-I and -II are measured by validated in-house analyses Furthermore Aarhus University Hospital has a unique technique whereby it is possible to measure the bioactivity of IGF-I and -II in the cerebrospinal fluid The concentrations of NGF BDNF and sCD-163 in spinal fluid and serum will be analysed by already established techniques
The purpose of this study is therefore to define the concentration and biological activity of IGF-I IGF-II BDNF NGF and sCD-163 in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum in patients with Alzheimers compared with controls

Detailed Description:
Introduction Dementia The estimated prevalence of dementia in Denmark is 85000 2011 and the global prevalence is close to 36 million 2010 Furthermore the number is predicted to double in the next 20 years primarily due to the demographic ageing The costs of dementia accounts for 1 of the worlds GDP - a perspective that will challenge the current healthcare systems and national economies 123
Dementia includes a number of progressive degenerative brain diseases Dementia is characterized by progressive deterioration in cognition function and behavior that is sufficiently severe to compromise social and occupational functioning Dementia is characterized by loss of episodic memory difficulty in naming and word finding apraxia executive dysfunction and changes in personality and mood The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimers disease 4 5 6
The pathogenesis of Alzheimer dementia remains elusive For many years the pathophysiological hallmark of Alzheimers dementia has been the toxicity caused by the accumulation of the proteins amyloid-beta in plaques and phosphorylated tau associated with neurofibrillary tangles However this theory is based on the genetic early-onset familial Alzheimers which is a less frequent inherited type Currently the hypotheses on the pathogenesis of Alzheimer actually disagree with that of the amyloid-beta theory Thus there is a need to increase our understanding of the mechanisms leading to the most common forms of Alzheimers disease A better understanding of the disease may enable an earlier diagnosis and importantly a causal treatment of Alzheimer as opposed to the merely symptomatic options available to day 4 7 8 9
IGF-system One of the main areas of recent research in dementia is the role of neurotrophic support a research area which embraces insulin and the insulin-like growth factor system Insulin and the IGF system are important in normal somatic growth development tissue repair and regeneration throughout life Earlier studies have indicated that impairments in cerebral glucose utilization and energy metabolism represent very early abnormalities that precede or accompany the initial stages of cognitive impairment However type 2 diabetes which is often characterized by insulin resistance has not been established as a cause of Alzheimer although there is a correlation between insulin resistance and cognitive dysfunction
The cellular signaling pathways of IGF-I and IGF-II overlap to a great extent with the pathways used by insulin and all three proteins bind to the same receptors though with different affinities Several studies have shown that the ratio between the concentrations of IGF-I in cerebrospinal fluid CSF and plasma the CSFplasma ratio is reduced in Alzheimer patients Interestingly IGF-I seems to promote amyloid-beta clearance
IGF-II has been less studied but it is expressed in the brain both during development and in adulthood and declines with ageing In the brain the relative concentration is highest in the hippocampus 10-14 Furthermore our group has novel data indicating that in CSF IGF-II is the most important growth factor when it comes to activating the IGF-I receptor Mia-Maiken Kallestrup et al manuscript in preparation
Memory Memory is a question of consolidation whereby newly learned labile information becomes stronger and resilient to disruption This process depends on de novo RNA and protein synthesis and the function of the cAMP response element binding protein CREB and the CCAAT enhancer binding protein CEBP both of which are transcription factors Former studies have shown that there is a binding site for CEBP in the promoter region of the IGF-II gene in liver and other tissues 10
IGF-II and memory To solve the puzzle of dementia it is important to explain early changes in biomarkers in early stages of dementia and thereby possibly reveal the pathogenesis and possible treatments An experiment with rats and memory might already have taken the first step towards this It has been demonstrated that administration of IGF-II to rats significantly enhances memory retention and prevents forgetting Furthermore inhibitory avoidance learning a paradigm in which the subject learns to associate a particular context with the occurrence leads to an increase in the hippocampal expression of IGF-II Finally yet importantly injections of recombinant IGF-II into hippocampus after training or memory retrieval significantly enhance memory retention and prevent forgetting 10
Neurotrophic growth factors
The human adult brain is able to generate new neurons even though it has a limited capacity Possibly this capacity depends on sufficient neurotrophic growth factors The neurotrophic factors include nerve growth factor NGF and brain derived neurotrophic factor BDNF
BDNF is important in neuronal survival synaptic plasticity and memory which along with the tendency of increased levels of BDNF in early stages of Alzheimers indicate a connection The increase of BDNF in early stages of Alzheimers could be a reflection of compensation for the neurodegeneration During the progression of Alzheimers the level of BDNF is decreasing to a level of healthy elderly people
NGF induces growth of neurons and maintains neuron proliferation interacting with other growth factors Levels of NGF in serum CSF or brain do not seem to differ from Alzheimers patients to normal elderly patients but seem to vary between different brain regions Finally the expression pattern of BDNF and NGF highly correlates with amyloid concentration 15
Cluster of differentiation 163CD-163 CD-163 is a scavenger receptor which recognizes and uptakes macromolecules for the hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex and its levels in an indication of monocyte-macrophage activation The soluble form of the receptor is called sCD163 and is found in plasma Plasma sCD163 levels are up-regulated in a large range of inflammatory diseases 16
Hypothesis Patients with dementia have a deregulated concentration andor activity of IGF-I IGF-II NGF BDNF and sCD-163 in cerebrospinal fluid
Purpose To define the concentration and biological activity of IGF-I IGF-II BDNF NGF and sCD-163 in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum in patients with Alzheimers compared with controls patients with unspecified neurological symptoms or disease
Method Study population All participating patients must be over the age of 18 years old They are excluded from the study in case of acute bacterial neuro infection and acute bleeding The study population of this project will include all patients with established or suspected dementia who will undergo a lumbar puncture at the Department of Neurology at Aarhus University Hospital as part of their diagnostic work-up
Controls include patients with unspecified neurological symptoms or diseases who will undergo a lumbar puncture at the Department of Neurology at Aarhus University Hospital as part of their diagnostic work-up irrespective of this study
The patients will receive information about the research project and will be asked to give their content to participation The participation implies extraction of 2-3 ml extra of spinal fluid and an extra blood sample10ml which will be used for analysis of IGF system components and neurotrophic factors Participants will not receive any form of payment but can receive compensation for transportation
At all times during the diagnostic work-up and consequently in the research project we will take the patients mental and physical condition into consideration The research project will be carried out according to the Act on Processing of Personal Data
At the Department of Neurology at Aarhus University Hospital the Dementia Clinic use lumbar puncture as a diagnostic tool in approximately three patients per week It is estimated that about 13 to 12 of these patients will end up with the diagnosis Alzheimer and these patients will ultimately be included in the project during a period of 36-40 weeks Overall during the study period this will enable inclusion of 50-60 patients
Analysis The spinal fluid and the serum will be analysed at the Medical Research Laboratory The spinal fluid and blood samples will be deposited in a research biobank at Aarhus University Hospital The plan is to carry out all the biochemical analyses at the same time when all samples are collected In case of knew knowledge in the field we intend to deposit the samples for 5 years after this project If the samples are to be used for another project The National Committee on Health Research Ethics and the Danish Data Protection Agency will demand an application once more
The immunological concentrations of IGF-I and IGF-II are measured by validated in-house analyses Furthermore Aarhus University Hospital has a unique technique whereby it is possible to measure the bioactivity of IGF-I and -II in the cerebrospinal fluid The technique is based on a cell-based in-house bioassay developed in 2003 This method takes in to account that a large part of the IGF-I and IGF-II is bound to proteins and thereby to be considered biological inactive The bioassay is able to measure the ability of both serum and cerebrospinal fluid to stimulate IGF-IR in vitro which makes the method much more specific Pilot investigations from our group have shown that it is possible to measure the biological IGF-IR activity in cerebrospinal fluid It has been proven that
i The biological IGF in vitro activity of cerebrospinal fluid primarily comes from IGF-II ii The biological activity is far higher than expected as compared to simple measures of concentration owing to the low concentrations of IGF-binding proteins
The immunological concentrations of the IGF-binding proteins will be measured by commercial or in-house developed immunoassays and ligand blotting techniques
The concentrations of NGF BDNF and sCD-163 in spinal fluid and serum will be analysed by already established techniques and the spinal fluid will be examined with spectrometry
Clinical examination The clinical examination will be performed as a natural part of the examination of dementia This includes medical history and an objective examination CT scan and cognitive tests including MMSE mini-mental state examination and ACE Adenbrookes Cognitive Examination In the case of doubt a more extended examination will be performed by a neurophysiologist Information from the clinical examination in form of medical record will be used to evaluate the possibility of dementia as diagnosis including the progression of the disease and thereby to evaluate the possible deregulated concentrations andor activities of IGF-I IGF-II NGF BDNF and sCD-163 in cerebrospinal fluid
Power The bioactivity of IGF in cerebrospinal fluid in patients with dementia have not earlier been determined Pilot data indicate that bioactivity from IGF-II in healthy peoplen 9 is 57 13 ngmlmean SD If the difference in a patient group is set to 26ngml 2 x SD then inclusion of 10 persons per group give the project a power of 90 by use of ANOVA and a significant level of 5 It has therefore been chosen to include 15 patients in the project
Statistic The program ANOVA will be used for statistical analyses Parametric or non-parametric tests will be used depending of the normal distribution of data In all statistical analysis a 5 level of significance will be used
Perspective As earlier mentioned the costs of dementia already account for 1 of the worlds GDP and the prevalence of dementia is expected to double within the next twenty years The progressive nature of the disease means that estimated 43 of cases with dementia need a high level of care equivalent to a nursing home Therefore it is obvious that prevention delayed onset slowed progression and potential curability are crucial factors for not only the well-being of patients and relatives but also for the economy of the health care systems 217 This research project is based on the recent theory of dementia as a disease in the IGF-system but as opposed to other studies we are able to measure concentrations as well as bioactivity This will potentially open up for further knowledge about the dynamic of dementia and thereby potentially reveal further understanding of the pathogenesis and medical targets of dementia
Ethical consideration Ethical considerations in general The tests performed on the patients involved in this research project are lumbar puncture and blood samples Both of these tests will be performed as part of the diagnostic workup irrespective of this study
It involves some risks to perform a lumbar puncture which include post lumbar puncture headache with a incidence of 12 but is most common in younger patients Most frequently the headache has a short duration and it may be cured with application of a blood-patch The use of a needle to the lumbar puncture can cause temporary lumbar pain and an accumulation Ethical considerations for patients with dementia The concerned patient group causes an extended ethical consideration As mentioned earlier the symptoms of dementia causes memory loss difficulty in finding the right words and understanding what people are saying As such it is questionable whether the patients are able to make an independent decision on whether to participate in the project 6
All of the dementia patients will have all the tests performed as part of the standard diagnostic work up for dementia Therefore this study does not introduce any additional investigation defending the ethical aspect of this study In consideration of the low risk involved in this project the mild dementia forms and the high prevalence and seriousness of the disease we evaluate this project to be ethically acceptable Furthermore it is of great importance to examine the pathogenesis and possible targets of dementia
Aim Positive negative as well as inconclusive results from this study will be published The results will be the foundation of a research year report and an article for publication in an English written peer reviewed journal
