Using the UNIarray® marker technology platform, cerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulin G reactivities of 15 controls and 17 RRMS patients against human recombinant proteins were investigated. Patient cerebrospinal fluids were oligoclonal band positive and reactivities were compared to that of sex- and age-matched controls. We hereby aimed at the characterization of autoreactivity in patients with RRMS. Differences in autoreactivities between control and RRMS samples were identified comprising autoantigens identified in this study only and previously reported autoantigens as well. A combination of the 10–15 most significant proteins may be investigated further as autoantigens for diagnostic purposes. Additional investigations may include minimizing the number of proteins used in such diagnostic tests. 相似文献

The concentration of the leukotrienes B4 (LTB4) and C4 (LTC4) was measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 38 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and 51 with other neurological diseases. The LTB4 and LTC4 levels were significantly elevated in MS compared with the controls. The findings suggest that lipoxygenase products might play a pathogenetic role in the early, encephalitogenic phase of MS. The administration of lipoxygenase inhibitors or leukotriene antagonists might well open new perspectives for the treatment of MS. 相似文献

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and peptide mass fingerprinting were used to identify proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pooled from three patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and in CSF pooled from three patients with non-MS inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Resolution of CSF proteins on three pH gradients (3-10, 4-7 and 6-11) enabled identification of a total of 430 spots in the MS CSF proteome that represented 61 distinct proteins. The gels containing MS CSF revealed 103 protein spots that were not seen on control gels. All but four of these 103 spots were proteins known to be present in normal human CSF. The four exceptions were: CRTAC-IB (cartilage acidic protein), tetranectin (a plasminogen-binding protein), SPARC-like protein (a calcium binding cell signalling glycoprotein), and autotaxin t (a phosphodiesterase). It remains unknown whether these four proteins are related to the cause and pathogenesis of MS. 相似文献

Axonal damage is now being recognized as a common finding in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions and a cause of irreversible neurological damage. Attempts to identify markers of early axonal damage are of great significance. This prompted us to examine the microtubule-associated protein tau in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with MS vs. controls. Tau was measured by double antibody sandwich ELISA. Increased CSF tau levels were found in MS as compared to controls (medians 249.6 and 135 pg/ml respectively, p<0.001). Half of the MS patients presented with levels above the upper limit of the controls. A significant increase vs. controls was found in both relapsing-remitting and progressive subtypes. These data may indicate axonal impairment in a subpopulation of MS patients and may provide a tool for the estimation of axonal damage during life. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: A recent study using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight analysis of cerebrospinal fluid identified a 12.5 kDa truncated isoform of cystatin C (CysC) as a specific biomarker for multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS: Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight analysis of cerebrospinal fluid samples from 43 MS patients and 46 healthy control subjects. RESULTS: Full-length CysC (13.4 kDa) concentration was similar in MS and control samples. The 12.5 kDa CysC protein was produced from full-length CysC by N-terminal cleavage during storage at -20 degrees C. INTERPRETATION: The 12.5 kDa CysC isoform is a storage-related artifact and is not useful as a diagnostic marker for MS. 相似文献

The quantitative analysis of peptides in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has become an important step in the early diagnosis of dementia, e.g., Alzheimer's disease. In search of new biomarkers for early detection and differential diagnosis of chronic neurodegenerative diseases, "biobanking" and long-term storage of human samples is increasingly important. The German Dementia Competence Network (DCN) has accomplished one of the largest biomaterial banks in this field, comprising CSF from several hundreds of patients. Since little is known about long-term stability of biomarker proteins in frozen CSF, we investigated the reliability of quantitative analysis in a total of 56 CSF samples that had been frozen for up to six years. Here, we compare a second quantitative analysis of Aβ40, Aβ42, and the total-tau protein after several years of storage at -80 °C with initial results obtained within six months after lumbar puncture. The second analysis was done using standard ELISAs or the newly developed Mesocale System. We found that regarding Aβ42 and total-tau, the results highly correlate with correlation coefficients of c = 0.73 and c = 0.82 respectively, while for Aβ40 the correlation coefficient was lower (c = 0.53), suggesting that Aβ40 is more vulnerable to degradation. We conclude that the quantitative analysis of the concentration of Aβ42, as well as for total-tau, in CSF in samples that have been stored for years is reliable. The determination of these biomarkers and potentially new biomarkers in CSF samples stored in large biomaterial banks assembled over many years is feasible. 相似文献

Glycosphingolipids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of individual patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were analyzed using a glycolipid-overlay technique. The ganglioside composition of CSF of non-MS patients was characterized by an abundance of polysialo species, including GT1b and GQ1b. This pattern is completely different from that of human white or gray matter, in which mono- and disialogangliosides predominate. Increased levels of GM1, either associated with or without increases of other gangliosides, such as GD1a, were observed in 16% of the patients with MS (6 of 37 cases: 1 of 15 progressive progressive stage, 4 of 16 progressive stationary stage, and 1 of 6 relapsing stage). The concentration of GD3 was increased in 23% (3 of 13 cases), whereas 1 of 13 cases (8%) showed a dramatic increase of sulfoglucuronyl paragloboside (SGPG) associated with a high level of GD3. These changes may reflect the cellular changes associated with the known pathological lesions in MS, which are characterized by demyelination, gliosis, and/or remyelination with oligodendrocytic proliferation. 相似文献

We studied the relative number of lymphocyte subsets in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with active multiple sclerosis. The cells were double-labeled with monoclonal antibodies and were studied using a fluorescence-activated cell analyzer. The number of Leu2+Leu15+ cells and Leu3+Leu18+ cells was markedly reduced in the CSF but not in the peripheral blood of the patients. The number of Leu3+Leu18+ cells was reduced also in the CSF of control patients (patients with other inflammatory or infectious neurological diseases). 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay, using nitrocellulose discs as solid phase and small sample volumes (50 microliter), was developed for the measurement of antibodies. This was used to screen CSF samples for autoantibodies against tissue components. Extracts from a selection of tissues from both "normal" and MS patients and from 3 glial cell lines were made in phosphate-buffered saline; in the case of neural and lymphoid samples the remaining particulate materials were subsequently solubilised with octylglucoside. The saline-soluble components were screened against CSF samples from MS patients (18), patients with other neurological disorders (10), and matched orthopaedic patients but no differences were found among the 3 groups. However, when the detergent-soluble components were screened a significant (at the P less than or equal to 0.01 level) elevation of reactivity towards brain was found in 6/16 MS patients and 2/12 patients with other neurological diseases when compared to their controls. 相似文献

Multiple sclerosis ist a very frequent chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Since clinical and neuro-imaging findings often may be ambiguous, cerebrospinal fluid examination has received great importance for diagnosis. By that method it becomes possible to differentiate inflammatory from noninflammatory diseases. Furthermore, cerebrospinal fluid findings are discussed which seem to be characteristic for multiple sclerosis. 相似文献

The concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindolylacetic acid (5-HIAA), and 4-hydroxy, 3-methoxyphenylethylene glycol (MHPG) were estimated in the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of control subjects and in some patients who probably, and others who definitely, suffered from multiple sclerosis (MS). In the control group, the concentration of HVA was lower in people who underwent lumbar puncture having fasted and been recumbent for 12 hours before the procedure than in those from whom CSF was obtained under non-standardised conditions. These studies demonstrate that a standardised procedure for lumbar puncture is required in order to obtain meaningful results. In patients suffering from MS the CSF 5-HIAA concentrations were significantly lower than in comparable controls but the HVA concentrations did not differ. There was no relationship between metabolite concentrations, site of lesion, the duration of the disease, gamma-globulin levels nor the occurrence of relapse within the previous month. 相似文献

In 27 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and in 10 control subjects of comparable age, percent ideal body weight and sex ratio, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) content of somatostatin was measured by radioimmunoassay.
The results showed that the group of patients in relapse (n = 16) had significantly lower somatostatin content in CSF (95 ± 4.1 (SEM) pg/ml) than both the control group (142 ± 8.4 pg/ml) and the group of MS patients (n =11), who had been in a clinical stable phase for more than 6 months (131 ± 3.2 pg/ml). Duration of the disease and degree of neurological impairment were apparently without relation to the reduction of somatostatin content in the CSF. There was no relationship between CSF content of somatostatin and the content of total protein or IgG, neither of which showed any relationship to the activity of the disease. 相似文献

The presence of oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in multiple sclerosis (MS) indicates a restricted heterogeneity of immunoglobulin (Ig). The portion of myelin basic protein encompassing residues 80-96 contains epitopes frequently recognized by T and B cells of MS patients. To define further this restricted heterogeneity and to direct further efforts to identify an antigenic target of CSF oligoclonal bands, the presence of idiotope (Id)-bearing antibodies sharing an Id with a murine monoclonal antibody to myelin basic protein peptide 80-89 was examined in the CSF of MS patients. CSF samples from 57 patients with clinically definite MS and 45 patients with other neurological diseases were standardized for amount of IgG and analyzed by immunoblotting for detection of Id-bearing antibodies. Id-bearing Ig was detected in the CSF of 79% of MS patients and 16% of other neurological disease patients. Further statistical analysis revealed an 84% specificity, an 86% positive predictive value, and a 76% negative predictive value of the test. The probability that a positive screening result indicated MS was 81%. Thus, antibodies containing a cross-reactive Id are present preferentially in the CSF of patients with MS compared with those with other neurological diseases. An immune network that has limited V region gene usage likely exists in the CSF and central nervous system of patients with MS and may provide evidence about antigens relevant to the pathogenesis of MS. 相似文献
