Abstract

Identifying biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is crucial, due to its complex pathology, which involves dysfunction in lipid transport, contributing to neuroinflammation, synaptic loss, and impaired amyloid-β clearance. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is able to quantify and stratify lipoproteins. The study investigated lipoproteins in blood from AD patients, aiming to evaluate their diagnostic potential. Serum and plasma were collected from AD patients (n = 25) and healthy individuals (n = 25). We conducted a comprehensive lipoprotein profiling on serum samples using NMR spectroscopy, analysing 112 lipoprotein subfractions. In plasma, we measured unspecific markers of neuronal damage and AD hallmark proteins using single molecule array technology. Additionally, clinical data and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker levels were also collected to enrich our data. Our findings, after adjusting for age and sex differences, highlight significant alterations in two specific lipoproteins; high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-1 Apo-A2 (H1A2) and HDL-2 Apo-A2 (H2A2), both with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.52–0.82). These results indicate that these lipoprotein subfractions may have potential as indicators of AD-related metabolic changes.
