Blood-based biomarkers promise to reduce the need for PET or CSF testing; however, their interpretation at the individual level and the circumstances requiring confirmatory testing are poorly understood. Individual-level interpretation of diagnostic test results requires knowledge of disease prevalence in relation to clinical presentation (clinical pretest probability). Here, in a study of 6,896 individuals evaluated from 11 cohort studies from six countries, we determined the positive and negative predictive value of five plasma biomarkers for amyloid-β pathology in cognitively impaired individuals in relation to clinical pretest probability. We observed that p-tau217 could rule in amyloid-β pathology in individuals with probable AD dementia (positive predictive value above 95%). In mild cognitive impairment, p-tau217 interpretation depended on patient age. Negative p-tau217 results could rule out amyloid-β pathology in individuals with non-AD dementia syndromes (negative predictive value between 90% and 99%). Our findings provide a framework for the individual-level interpretation of plasma biomarkers, suggesting that p-tau217 combined with clinical phenotyping can identify patients where amyloid-β pathology can be ruled in or out without the need for PET or CSF confirmatory testing. Therriault et al. provide a framework for the individual-level interpretation of plasma biomarkers by determining their positive and negative predictive values for amyloid positron emission tomography status in relation to patient age and clinical symptoms.","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":"4 11","pages":"1529-1537"},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-024-00731-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142635093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior research has often ignored sex-specific differences in aging patterns and mainly focused on aging biomarkers from a single data modality. Here we analyze a deeply phenotyped longitudinal cohort (10K project, Israel) of 10,000 healthy individuals aged 40–70 years that includes clinical, physiological, behavioral, environmental and multiomic parameters. Follow-up visits are scheduled every 2 years for a total of 25 years. We devised machine learning models of chronological age and computed biological aging scores that represented diverse physiological systems, revealing different aging patterns among sexes. Higher BA scores were associated with a higher prevalence of age-related medical conditions, highlighting the clinical relevance of these scores. Our analysis revealed system-specific aging dynamics and the potential of deeply phenotyped cohorts to accelerate improvements in our understanding of chronic diseases. Our findings present a more holistic view of the aging process, and lay the foundation for personalized medical prevention strategies. The authors analyzed data from a deeply phenotyped longitudinal cohort to uncover sex-specific aging patterns. They found that biological age scores, derived from diverse biomarkers, correlate with age-related diseases, providing insights for personalized medical interventions.","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":"4 11","pages":"1643-1655"},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142584538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the mechanisms linking atherosclerosis to stroke is essential for developing appropriate intervention strategies. Here, we found that the exosomal miRNA Novel-3 is selectively upregulated in the plasma of patients with LAA-AIS. Notably, Novel-3 was predominantly expressed in macrophage-derived foam cells, and its expression correlated with atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Exploring the function of Novel-3 in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia, we found that Novel-3 exacerbated ischemic injury and targeted microglia and macrophages expressing ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 in peri-infarct regions. Mechanistically, Novel-3 increased ferroptosis and neuroinflammation by interacting with striatin (STRN) and downregulating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-AKT-mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway. Blocking Novel-3 activity or overexpressing STRN provided neuroprotection under ischemic conditions.
