Definitions
- the invention encompasses a method for determining ⁇ metabolism in blood.
- AD Alzheimer disease
- AD is the most common cause of dementia and is an increasing public health problem. It is currently estimated to afflict 5 million people in the United States, with an expected increase to 13 million by the year 2050. AD leads to loss of memory, cognitive function, and ultimately independence. AD takes a heavy personal and financial toll on the patient and the family. Because of the severity and increasing prevalence of the disease in the population, it is urgent that better treatments be developed and delivered at the earliest stage of the disease.
- FIG. 1 depicts a graph showing the percent labeled total ⁇ in blood over 36 to 48 hours for 6 participants (blue circles) and percent labeled total ⁇ in CSF in twelve participants (red squares). Note the rapid rise to plateau by 9 hours with a rapid clearance rate in blood, while CSF does not approach plateau until 18 hours or later. Also note the much more rapid clearance of blood ⁇ compared to CSF ⁇ . There also may be a second peak of labeled ⁇ in blood from 20 to 30 hours (peak -26 hours).
- FIG. 2 depicts percent labeled ⁇ in blood over 40 hours after (a) intravenous labeling and (b) oral labeling.
- FIG. 3 depicts absolute quantitation of blood ⁇ isoforms over 40 hours. Labeled N 15 Amyloid-beta internal standards (ISTD) were added to the sample before processing. Samples were processed as described in the examples, and absolute amounts of amyloid beta isoforms are plotted.
- ISD Amyloid-beta internal standards
- the present invention provides a method for determining ⁇ metabolism by measuring ⁇ turnover in a blood sample.
- “turnover” refers in one embodiment to the rate of labeled ⁇ production, the rate of labeled ⁇ clearance, or a combination of both, as detailed below. In each instance, however, determining ⁇ metabolism requires a measurement of labeled ⁇ in a sample. In another embodiment, “turnover” refers to the half-life of ⁇ in blood. As used herein, “ ⁇ ” refers to total amyloid ⁇ , an amyloid ⁇ isoform such as ⁇ 3 8, ⁇ 40 , or ⁇ 42 , or a combination thereof.
- a method of the invention eliminates the need for a more difficult to obtain and invasive central nervous system sample to determine the metabolism of ⁇ .
- One aspect of the present invention is a method for determining ⁇ metabolism in blood.
- the turnover of ⁇ in blood may reflect the metabolism of ⁇ in the central nervous system. (This is contrary to steady-state blood ⁇ levels, which have not been successfully correlated to central nervous system ⁇ .)
- measuring the turnover of ⁇ in blood comprises administering a label to a subject, collecting a blood sample from the subject, and analyzing the sample to determine the turnover of ⁇ in the sample. Each step is described in more detail below.
- a method of the invention comprises, in part, administering a label to a subject.
- Suitable labels and suitable methods of administration are detailed below.
- Suitable labels should allow the measurement of the turnover of ⁇ in the blood.
- a suitable label may include a labeled amino acid or a labeled amino acid precursor.
- the label may comprise at least one labeled amino acid.
- the amino acid may be naturally occurring, synthetic, or an amino acid analogue. In each instance, however, the amino acid should be capable of incorporation into ⁇ to allow detection and quantification of the turnover of ⁇ in blood.
- Non-limiting examples of natural amino acids may include alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine.
- the amino acid may be an essential amino acid (e.g., an amino acid not produced by the body).
- the amino acid may be a non-essential amino acid.
- a label may comprise at least one essential amino acid and at least one non-essential amino acid.
- the choice of amino acid may be based on a variety of factors, including (1 ) whether the amino acid is present in at least one residue of the protein or peptide of interest; (2) whether the amino acid can quickly reach the site of protein synthesis; (3) whether the labeled amino acid affects the
- a label may comprise at least one, at least two, at least three, at least four, at least five, at least six, at least seven, at least eight, at least nine, at least ten, at least eleven, at least twelve, at least thirteen, at least fourteen, at least fifteen, at least sixteen, at least seventeen, at least eighteen, at least nineteen, at least twenty, or more than twenty different kinds of labeled amino acids.
- Amino acids may be labeled using any method known in the art, as long as the amino acid may be incorporated into ⁇ and allows the detection of the turnover of ⁇ in the blood.
- Labels may be radioactive or non-radioactive.
- an amino acid may be labeled with a stable non-radioactive isotope. Non-limiting examples may include 2 H, 13 C, 15 N, 17 O, 18 0, 33 S, 34 S, or 36 S. Additionally, it is recognized that a number of other stable isotopes that change the mass of an atom by more or less neutrons than is seen in the prevalent native form would also be effective.
- an amino acid may be labeled with more than one label (for instance, 13 C and 15 N).
- 13 C 6 -phenylalanine which contains six 13 C atoms, may be used to label ⁇ .
- 13 C 6 -leucine may be used to label ⁇ .
- a combination of a stable nonradioactive isotope and an amino acid listed in Table A may be used to label ⁇ .
- the labeled amino acids may be produced either biologically or synthetically. Biologically produced amino acids may be obtained from an organism (e.g., kelp/seaweed) grown in an enriched mixture of 13 C, 15 N, or other isotope that is incorporated into amino acids as the organism produces proteins. The amino acids are then separated and purified. Alternatively, amino acids may be made with known synthetic chemical processes.
- Suitable methods of administering a label may include any method that allows the measurement of the turnover of ⁇ in blood.
- a label may be administered parenterally, e.g. intravenously, intraarterial ⁇ , subcutaneously, intraperitoneal ⁇ , or intramuscularly.
- a label may be administered orally.
- a label may be administered in several different ways, depending in part, on the type of label.
- a label may be administered as an infusion over time.
- a label may be administered via an infusion for about 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1 1 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 , 22, 23, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 , 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 , 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51 , 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61 , 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 , 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 , 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 , 92, 93,

- the method of detecting and quantifying labeled and unlabeled ⁇ in a blood sample can and will vary. For instance, detection methods will vary with the type of label used (e.g. radioactive or non-radioactive). In one
- the detection method should be sensitive enough to detect changes in mass of the labeled protein with respect to the unlabeled protein.
- labeled and unlabeled ⁇ may be detected with mass spectrometry.

- turnover refers in one embodiment to the rate of labeled ⁇ production, the rate of labeled ⁇ clearance, or a combination of both.
- turnover refers to the half-life of ⁇ in blood.
- turnover refers to the product of the percent labeled ⁇ and the absolute quantitation value of ⁇ .
