- INTRODUCTIONThe established cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phosphorylated tau181 (p-tau181) may not reliably reflect concomitant Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary age-related tauopathy (PART) found in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) at autopsy. METHODSWe investigated CSF N-terminal p-tau181, p-tau217, and p-tau231 with in-house Simoa assays in definite CJD (n = 29), AD dementia (n = 75), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD (n = 65), and subjective cognitive decline (SCD, n = 28). Post-mortem examination performed in patients with CJD 1.3 (0.3-14.3) months after CSF collection revealed no co-pathology in 10, concomitant AD in 8, PART in 8, and other co-pathologies in 3 patients. RESULTSN-terminal p-tau was increased in CJD versus SCD (p < 0.0001) and correlated with total tau (t-tau) in the presence of AD and PART co-pathology (rho = 0.758-0.952, p <= 001). Concentrations in CJD(+AD )were indistinguishable from AD dementia, with the largest fold-change in p-tau217 (11.6), followed by p-tau231 and p-tau181 (3.2-4.5). DISCUSSIONVariable fold-changes and correlation with t-tau suggest that p-tau closely associates with neurodegeneration and concomitant AD in CJD. Highlights N-terminal phosphorylated tau (p-tau) biomarkers are increased in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) with and without concomitant AD. P-tau217, p-tau231, and p-tau181 correlate with total tau (t-tau) and increase in the presence of amyloid beta (A beta) co-pathology. N-terminal p-tau181 and p-tau231 in A beta-negative CJD show variation among PRNP genotypes. Compared to mid-region-targeting p-tau181, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) N-terminal p-tau has greater potential to reflect post-mortem neuropathology in the CJD brain.

- Post-mortem staging of Alzheimer's disease (AD) neurofibrillary pathology is commonly performed by immunohistochemistry using AT8 antibody for phosphorylated tau (p-tau) at positions 202/205. Thus, quantification of p-tau205 and p-tau202 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) should be more reflective of neurofibrillary tangles in AD than other p-tau epitopes. We developed two novel Simoa immunoassays for CSF p-tau205 and p-tau202 and measured these phosphorylations in three independent cohorts encompassing the AD continuum, non-AD cases and cognitively unimpaired participants: a discovery cohort (n=47), an unselected clinical cohort (n=212) and a research cohort well-characterized by fluid and imaging biomarkers (n=262). CSF p-tau205 increased progressively across the AD continuum, while CSF p-tau202 was increased only in AD and amyloid(Aβ) and tau pathology positive (A+T+) cases (P<0.01). In A+cases, CSF p-tau205 and p-tau202 showed stronger associations with tau-PET (rSp205=0.67, rSp202=0.45) than Aβ-PET (rSp205=0.40, rSp202=0.09). CSF p-tau205 increased gradually across tau-PET Braak stages (P<0.01), whereas p-tau202 only increased in Braak V-VI (P<0.0001). Both showed stronger regional associations with tau-PET than with Aβ-PET, and CSF p-tau205 was significantly associated with Braak V-VI tau-PET regions. When assessing the contribution of Aβ and tau pathologies (indexed by PET) to CSF p-tau205 and p-tau202 variance, tau pathology was found to be the most prominent contributor in both cases (CSF p-tau205: R2=69.7%; CSF p-tau202: R2=85.6%) Both biomarkers associated with brain atrophy measurements globally (rSp205=-0.36, rSp202=-0.33) and regionally, and correlated with cognition (rSp205=-0.38/-0.40, rSp202=-0.20/-0.29). In conclusion, we report the first high-throughput CSF p-tau205 immunoassay for the in vivo quantification of tau pathology in AD, and a potentially cost-effective alternative to tau-PET in clinical settings and clinical trials.
