RESUMO

The amyloid cascade hypothesis proposes amyloid-ß (Aß) as the earliest and key pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but this mandatory "amyloid-first pathway" has been contested. Longitudinal studies of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients represent an opportunity to investigate the intensity of underlying biological processes (amyloidosis versus neurodegeneration) and their relevance for progression to AD. We re-examined our cohort of amnestic MCI, grouped according to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, aiming at establishing their prognostic value for Alzheimer-type dementia and testing the hypothetical model of biomarkers sequence, based on the amyloid cascade. Our baseline population consisted of 217 MCI patients, 63% with neurodegeneration markers and 47% with amyloidosis. Within the longitudinal study-group (n = 165), 85 progressed to AD and 80 remained cognitively stable. Age, CSF Aß42, and t-Tau were identified as the best single predictors of conversion to AD. Regarding MCI classification according to the NIA-AA criteria, the high-AD-likelihood group (HL-both amyloid and neurodegeneration markers) was the most frequent (42%); followed by the Suspected Non-Alzheimer Pathophysiology group (SNAP-26%), the low-AD-likelihood group (LL-negative biomarkers-22%), and the Isolated Amyloid Pathology group (IAP-10%). Risk of progression to AD was higher in HL in relation to the LL group (HR = 6.1, 95% CI = 2.1-18.0, p = 0.001). SNAP and IAP groups were equivalent in terms of risk of progression to AD (IAP: HR = 2.6, 95% CI = 0.7-9.3, p = 0.141; SNAP: HR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.1-9.6; p = 0.046), but only SNAP was significantly different from the LL group. These results support different neurobiological pathways to AD beyond the amyloid hypothesis, highlighting the alternative "neurodegeneration-first pathway" for further investigation.
