Abstract
This study estimates the association between blood levels of inflammatory markers and cognitive function in adults with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to synthesize data from studies examining the relationship between blood levels of inflammatory markers and cognitive function in adults with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. The search strategy was applied to the Medline database through MEDLINE (OVID), WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS, LILACS, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Studies were selected based on predefined criteria. We included 84 studies in the qualitative synthesis, with 75 incorporated into the meta-analysis. In blood samples, subjects with Alzheimer's disease showed significantly higher concentrations of IL-1β (mean difference 0.46 [95% CI: 0.35, 0.58]), IL-6 (3.41 [3.05, 3.78]), MCP-1 (26.20 [14.57, 37.82]), and TNF-α (6.68 [5.97, 7.39]), along with lower concentrations of IL-8 (- 1.46 [- 1.85, - 1.08]) and IL-10 (- 3.20 [- 4.21, - 2.20]). This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate significant alterations in inflammatory marker concentrations in blood samples of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, and TNF-α, alongside reduced IL-8 and IL-10 levels, suggest a robust inflammatory response associated with Alzheimer's disease.
期刊介绍:
NeuroMolecular Medicine publishes cutting-edge original research articles and critical reviews on the molecular and biochemical basis of neurological disorders. Studies range from genetic analyses of human populations to animal and cell culture models of neurological disorders. Emerging findings concerning the identification of genetic aberrancies and their pathogenic mechanisms at the molecular and cellular levels will be included. Also covered are experimental analyses of molecular cascades involved in the development and adult plasticity of the nervous system, in neurological dysfunction, and in neuronal degeneration and repair. NeuroMolecular Medicine encompasses basic research in the fields of molecular genetics, signal transduction, plasticity, and cell death. The information published in NEMM will provide a window into the future of molecular medicine for the nervous system.
