We determined albumin post-translational modifications (PTMs) by mass spectrometry (MS) in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 31 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients (with 27 samples of paired plasma-CSF from the same patients). Results were cross-sectionally compared with healthy controls. For percentage of relative intensity of glycated isoforms, plasma albumin was globally more glycated in AD patients than in healthy controls (P<0.01). MS results in plasma were confirmed by a quantitative enzymatic assay (Lucica GA-L) for albumin early-glycation detection. In CSF there were no global glycation differences detected by MS, although a different pattern of glycated isoforms was observed. Oxidized+glycated and cysteinylated+glycated isoforms were increased in both plasma and CSF of AD patients in comparison with healthy controls (P<0.001). Furthermore, AD patients showed higher glycation in plasma than in CSF (P<0.01). Our data support the role of glycation and oxidative stress in AD.

Abstract:: Recent studies have proven that the purinergic signaling pathway plays a key role in neurotransmission and neuromodulation, and is involved in various neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. With the characterization of the subtypes of receptors in purinergic signaling, i.e. the P1 (adenosine), P2X (ion channel) and P2Y (G protein-coupled), more attentions were paid to the pathophysiology and therapeutic potential of purinergic signaling in central nervous system disorders. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and deadly neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by memory loss, cognitive impairment and dementia. However, as drug development aimed to prevent or control AD follows a series of failures in recent years, more researchers focused on the neuroprotection-related mechanisms such as purinergic signaling in AD patients to find a potential cure. This article reviews the recent discoveries of purinergic signaling in AD, summaries the potential agents as modulators for the receptors of purinergic signaling in AD related research and treatments. Thus, our paper provided an insight for purinergic signaling in the development of anti-AD therapies.
