Abstract
Description
本發明係關於一種預測阿茲海默症子代罹患風險之方法,特別係關於一種利用特定蛋白質表達量建立之風險預測公式,藉由所述風險預測公式以預測阿茲海默症子代罹患風險之方法。 The present invention relates to a method for predicting the risk of offspring suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and in particular to a risk prediction formula established using the expression level of a specific protein, and a method for predicting the risk of offspring suffering from Alzheimer's disease by using the risk prediction formula.
失智症(dementia)為現今全球第七大死因,而阿茲海默症(Alzheimer’s Disease,AD)則為典型的失智症形式,目前全球約有四千七百萬人被診斷出罹患阿茲海默症。 Dementia is the seventh leading cause of death in the world today, and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the typical form of dementia. Currently, about 47 million people around the world have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease.
阿茲海默症為一種慢性腦部疾病,以智力逐漸下降、記憶力及神經元喪失為其特徵,該些改變係由澱粉樣蛋白β(Aβ)於細胞外沉積以及前額皮質與海馬迴(hippocampus)中過度磷酸化的tau蛋白於細胞內沉積所引起。 Alzheimer's disease is a chronic brain disease characterized by progressive intellectual decline, memory loss, and neuronal loss. These changes are caused by the extracellular deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) and the intracellular deposition of hyperphosphorylated tau protein in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
澱粉樣蛋白β的沉積激活小膠質細胞(microglia)以驅使大腦神經發炎,激活發炎途徑為導致阿茲海默症的主要原因之一,故服用非甾體類抗炎藥(nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug,NSAID)可降低罹患阿茲海默症的風險。 The deposition of amyloid beta activates microglia to drive inflammation of brain nerves. Activating the inflammatory pathway is one of the main causes of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) , NSAIDs) may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
小膠質細胞為大腦中常駐的巨噬細胞,而星形膠質細胞(astrocytes)是大腦中支持神經元最豐富的細胞,經激活的小膠質細胞以及星形膠 質細胞分泌大量促炎因子(pro-inflammatory cytokines)、趨化因子(chemokines)、活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)、一氧化氮(NO)等;當澱粉樣蛋白β存在時,星形膠質細胞被激活而過度表達多種炎症相關因子,例如IL-1β、TNF-α、誘導型一氧化氮合成酶(iNOS)以及一氧化氮。 Microglia are resident macrophages in the brain, while astrocytes are the most abundant cells supporting neurons in the brain. Activated microglia and astrocytes Astrocytes secrete large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), etc.; when amyloid beta is present, astrocytes Cells are activated to overexpress a variety of inflammation-related factors, such as IL-1β, TNF-α, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and nitric oxide.
此外,NLRP3(含NOD、LLR及Pyrin結構域的蛋白3)主要於巨噬細胞中表達,作為傳感器分子,並與銜接蛋白ASC(adaptor protein ASC)以及半胱天冬酶原1(pro-caspase-1)一起形成NLRP3發炎體(NLRP3 inflammasome);NLRP3對於先天免疫系統至關緊要,NLRP3發炎體的激活導致半胱天冬酶1依賴性促炎因子IL-1β以及IL-18的釋放,並使Gasdermin D(GSDMD)介導之焦亡細胞(pyroptotic cell)死亡。 In addition, NLRP3 (protein 3 containing NOD, LLR and Pyrin domains) is mainly expressed in macrophages as a sensor molecule, and together with the adaptor protein ASC and pro-caspase-1, it forms the NLRP3 inflammasome; NLRP3 is crucial to the innate immune system. Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome leads to the release of caspase 1-dependent pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18, and causes Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptotic cell death.
阿茲海默症患者大腦中的NLRP3表達提高,使得NLRP3發炎體激活而導致澱粉樣蛋白β的吞噬作用降低,進而使澱粉樣蛋白β的沉積增加,故藉由抑制NLRP3發炎體可減少tau蛋白的過度磷酸化及沉積;此外,已知α1-抗胰凝乳蛋白酶(α1-antichymotrypsin,ACT)、IL-1β、IL-2、IL-4、IL-6、IL-10、TNF-α、G-CSF、TGF-β1、干擾素γ(interferon γ,IFN-γ)以及C反應蛋白(C-reactive protein,CRP)的高血漿水平,與罹患阿茲海默症風險提升具有相關性;然而,目前仍不清楚其他血清蛋白是否與阿茲海默症的發生,或者與阿茲海默症之疾病進展具有相關性。 The expression of NLRP3 in the brains of Alzheimer's patients is increased, which activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to a decrease in the phagocytosis of amyloid beta, which in turn increases the deposition of amyloid beta. Therefore, inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome can reduce tau protein. Hyperphosphorylation and deposition; in addition, it is known that α1-antichymotrypsin (ACT), IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, High plasma levels of G-CSF, TGF-β1, interferon γ (IFN-γ), and C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease; however, , it is still unclear whether other serum proteins are related to the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease or the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
另一方面,現今並無阿茲海默症極早期的檢測方法,目前用於檢測阿茲海默症的方法均有相當程度之缺點。例如,神經心理學問卷調查會受到檢測者之教育程度不同而影響,且填寫問卷之時間較長;使用正子造影或核磁共振則需等到疾病相對晚期才能檢測是否罹患阿茲海默症,而脊髓液檢測伴隨 有劇烈疼痛,一般民眾對此檢測的意願不高;又或者檢測血液中tau蛋白與澱粉樣蛋白β則因其含量稀少,需等到發病後方可檢測。再者,越早診斷出是否罹患阿茲海默症,則可越早進行治療,其預後效果也較佳。 On the other hand, there is currently no very early detection method for Alzheimer's disease, and the methods currently used to detect Alzheimer's disease have considerable shortcomings. For example, neuropsychological questionnaires will be affected by the educational level of the examinee, and it will take a long time to fill in the questionnaire; using positron imaging or magnetic resonance imaging, it is necessary to wait until the disease is relatively advanced to detect whether you have Alzheimer's disease, and the spinal cord liquid testing accompanying If there is severe pain, the general public is not willing to do the test; or if the tau protein and amyloid beta in the blood are tested, because their content is rare, they need to wait until the disease occurs before testing. Furthermore, the earlier Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed, the earlier it can be treated and the better the prognosis will be.
綜上所述,需對其他可能對阿茲海默症的發生或其進展相關之血清蛋白種類做進一步的研究,找出可早期預測阿茲海默症之血清蛋白作為有效之生物標記物(biomarker),使其可於尚未發病時即能預測是否具有罹患風險。 In summary, further research is needed on other types of serum proteins that may be related to the occurrence or progression of Alzheimer's disease, and to identify serum proteins that can early predict Alzheimer's disease as effective biomarkers ( biomarker), which can predict whether you are at risk of developing the disease before it develops.
有鑑於上述問題,本發明之發明人嘗試從各類血清蛋白中,找出與阿茲海默症的發生或其疾病進展具有相關性之血清蛋白,並將該等具有相關性的血清蛋白之表達量,利用統計學算法進行分析,以建立一風險預測公式,藉由所述風險預測公式所得之值作為預測分數,特別是針對已罹患阿茲海默症之未發病子代進行預測;當預測分數越高時,則代表罹患阿茲海默症之風險也越高。 In view of the above problems, the inventors of the present invention tried to find serum proteins related to the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease or its disease progression from various types of serum proteins, and analyzed the expression levels of these related serum proteins using statistical algorithms to establish a risk prediction formula. The value obtained by the risk prediction formula is used as a prediction score, especially for predicting offspring who have already developed Alzheimer's disease but have not developed the disease; the higher the prediction score, the higher the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
本發明之第一目的在於,利用高通量之西方墨點微陣列系統(Micro-Western Array,MWA),可檢測不同樣本中之不同抗體的蛋白表達或磷酸化狀態,以找出與阿茲海默症的發生或其疾病進展具有相關性之血清蛋白;此種新穎的蛋白質體學技術係研究蛋白之訊息傳遞網路(signaling transduction network)以及蛋白質譜(protein profile)的有效系統生物學工具。 The first purpose of the present invention is to use a high-throughput Western blot microarray system (Micro-Western Array, MWA) to detect the protein expression or phosphorylation status of different antibodies in different samples to find serum proteins related to the occurrence or progression of Alzheimer's disease; this novel proteomics technology is an effective system biology tool for studying protein signaling transduction networks and protein profiles.
MWA是一種改良的反相陣列(reverse phase array)平台,其係由GeSim Nanoplotter陣列儀、GE multiphor(雙向電泳儀)以及Licor Odyssey紅外掃描 儀所組成之平台;MWA可同時檢測6~30個樣本(檢體)中24~96種蛋白質變化的高通量系統。 MWA is an improved reverse phase array platform, which is composed of GeSim Nanoplotter array instrument, GE multiphor (two-dimensional electrophoresis instrument) and Licor Odyssey infrared scanner. MWA is a high-throughput system that can simultaneously detect changes in 24 to 96 proteins in 6 to 30 samples (specimens).
一般健康之人與阿茲海默症患者以及阿茲海默症之未發病子代間,其血清蛋白質譜均具有差異性,利用MWA對血清蛋白之分析,找出上述三種人群中具有顯著差異之血清蛋白,並由該等具有顯著差異之血清蛋白中,找出與阿茲海默症的發生或其疾病進展具有相關性之血清蛋白,以作為預測阿茲海默症子代罹患風險之生物標記物。 The serum protein spectra of healthy people, Alzheimer's disease patients and offspring without Alzheimer's disease are different. MWA is used to analyze serum proteins to find out the serum proteins with significant differences among the above three groups of people. Among these serum proteins with significant differences, serum proteins related to the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease or its disease progression are found to serve as biomarkers for predicting the risk of Alzheimer's disease offspring.
另外,本發明之第二目的在於,藉由MWA所找出與阿茲海默症的發生或其疾病進展具有相關性之血清蛋白,將該等具有相關性的血清蛋白之表達量,利用統計學算法進行分析,進而建立一風險預測公式,藉由所述風險預測公式所得之值作為預測分數;當預測分數越高時,則代表罹患阿茲海默症之風險也越高。經過計算,若以17個特定蛋白質作為鑑別預測,健康正常受測者與阿茲海默症病患的區隔分數門檻為0.25,依據實際阿茲海默症病患與健康者的檢體,經過MWA分析,準確率為100%;另一方面,如為了加速檢測流程、簡化檢測方式並降低檢測成本,由上述17個特定蛋白質中依據權重進一步挑選出6個特定蛋白質作為鑑別預測,健康正常受測者與阿茲海默症病患的區隔分數門檻為-0.1,依據實際阿茲海默症病患與健康者的檢體,經過MWA分析,可達98.3%準確率。 In addition, the second purpose of the present invention is to find out serum proteins related to the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease or its disease progression through MWA, analyze the expression levels of these related serum proteins using statistical algorithms, and then establish a risk prediction formula, and use the value obtained by the risk prediction formula as the prediction score; when the prediction score is higher, it means that the risk of suffering from Alzheimer's disease is also higher. After calculation, if 17 specific proteins are used as identification predictions, the threshold for distinguishing healthy subjects from Alzheimer's patients is 0.25. Based on the samples of actual Alzheimer's patients and healthy people, the accuracy rate after MWA analysis is 100%. On the other hand, in order to speed up the detection process, simplify the detection method and reduce the detection cost, 6 specific proteins are further selected from the above 17 specific proteins according to the weight as identification predictions, and the threshold for distinguishing healthy subjects from Alzheimer's patients is -0.1. Based on the samples of actual Alzheimer's patients and healthy people, the accuracy rate after MWA analysis can reach 98.3%.

將各受試者之血清利用含有MWA裂解緩衝液(240mM三乙酸酯、1%SDS、5mMEDTA以及0.5%甘油)、蛋白酶抑制劑、磷酸酶抑制劑、二硫蘇糖醇(dithiothreitol,DTT)以及1mM之Na3VO4的裂解液進行裂解,獲得血清蛋 白裂解物;接著使用GeSim Nanoplotter陣列儀對血清蛋白裂解物進行點樣,將每個受試者之血清樣本點樣至24孔中,其中以白蛋白(albumin)作為負載對照組,並在各孔中添加不同的特異性抗體,再藉由GE multiphor(雙向電泳儀)進行電泳,將蛋白質轉印至硝酸纖維素膜上,將該膜用100%之Licor緩衝液封閉1小時後,添加經稀釋之一抗(兔抗或鼠抗)並於4℃下過夜培養。 The serum of each subject was used with MWA lysis buffer (240mM triacetate, 1% SDS, 5mMEDTA and 0.5% glycerol), protease inhibitors, phosphatase inhibitors, and dithiothreitol (DTT). and 1mM Na 3 VO 4 lysis buffer to obtain serum protein lysate; then use the GeSim Nanoplotter array instrument to spot the serum protein lysate, and spot the serum sample of each subject into 24 wells. Among them, albumin (albumin) was used as the loading control group, and different specific antibodies were added to each well, and then electrophoresis was performed by GE multiphor (two-dimensional electrophoresis instrument), and the protein was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. After the membrane was blocked with 100% Licor buffer for 1 hour, a diluted antibody (rabbit or mouse antibody) was added and incubated overnight at 4°C.
接著,使用TBST清洗該膜3次,每次清洗10分鐘,清洗後將該膜與Licor螢光二抗於20%之Licor緩衝液及80%TBS的混合液中,在室溫下培養1小時;其後,再將該膜以TBST清洗3次,每次清洗10分鐘,洗淨後將該膜風乾獲得印跡結果。 Next, the membrane was washed 3 times with TBST, each time for 10 minutes. After washing, the membrane was incubated with Licor fluorescent secondary antibody in a mixture of 20% Licor buffer and 80% TBS at room temperature for 1 hour. Afterwards, the membrane was washed 3 times with TBST, each time for 10 minutes. After washing, the membrane was air-dried to obtain the blotting results.
最後,利用Licor Odyssey紅外掃描儀對該膜進行掃描,針對兔抗及鼠抗,其依序使用波長680nm以及780nm之光進行掃描,使用兔抗之印跡顯示紅色,而使用鼠抗之印跡則顯示綠色,接著用Licor Odyssey分析軟體(版本3.0)對該等血清蛋白進行分析;另外,以健康對照組中特定蛋白質的平均表達水平作為該蛋白質之標準,將相對蛋白質豐度(abundance)設為1,再把各受試者之血清蛋白表達量正規化至一標準水平,使該等數值轉換為以2為底(log2)之對數值,藉此用於製作熱圖(heatmap)分析。 Finally, the Licor Odyssey infrared scanner was used to scan the film. For the rabbit anti-mouse antibody, the film was scanned using light of wavelengths 680nm and 780nm in sequence. The blot using the rabbit antibody showed red, while the blot using the mouse antibody showed red. Green, then use Licor Odyssey analysis software (version 3.0) to analyze these serum proteins; in addition, use the average expression level of a specific protein in the healthy control group as the standard for the protein, and set the relative protein abundance (abundance) to 1 , and then normalize the serum protein expression of each subject to a standard level, convert the values into logarithmic values with base 2 (log 2 ), and use them to create heatmap analysis.
結果 result
請參照第1A圖至第1C圖,第1A圖至第1C圖係為三組不同受試者,利用之西方墨點微陣列系統進行分析所得之印跡示意圖;我們選擇了偵測LXR(liver X receptor)訊息路徑蛋白、載脂蛋白(apolipoproteins)以及發炎相關蛋白的抗體共24支,利用西方墨點微陣列系統(MWA),針對30名阿茲海默症患者、30名阿茲海默症未患病成年子女以及31名健康對照者的血清中的蛋白質進行分 析比較。24支抗體、91個受測者的全部血清蛋白的結果如圖1A至圖1C所示。由第1A圖至第1C圖中可看出,30名阿茲海默症患者、30名阿茲海默症未患病成年子女以及31名健康對照者之間,其各類血清蛋白之顯色具有明顯差異。 Please refer to Figures 1A to 1C, which are schematic diagrams of blots obtained by Western blot microarray analysis of three different groups of subjects. We selected 24 antibodies to detect LXR (liver X receptor) signaling pathway proteins, apolipoproteins, and inflammation-related proteins, and used Western blot microarray (MWA) to analyze and compare the proteins in the serum of 30 Alzheimer's patients, 30 adult children without Alzheimer's disease, and 31 healthy controls. The results of all serum proteins of 24 antibodies and 91 subjects are shown in Figures 1A to 1C. As can be seen from Figures 1A to 1C, there are significant differences in the color of various serum proteins among 30 Alzheimer's patients, 30 unaffected adult children of Alzheimer's patients, and 31 healthy controls.
接著,參照第2A圖至第2C圖,第2A圖至第2C圖係為三組不同受試者,將其血清蛋白表達量正規化並轉換為對數值所得之熱圖;由第2A圖至第2C圖中可看出,利用MWA所檢測之各種類血清蛋白均具有表達量之差異,各圖中紅色代表其對應之血清蛋白表達量增加,而綠色代表其對應之血清蛋白表達量減少。 Next, refer to Figures 2A to 2C. Figures 2A to 2C are heat maps obtained by normalizing the serum protein expression levels of three different groups of subjects and converting them into logarithmic values; from Figure 2A to 2C As can be seen in Figure 2C, various types of serum proteins detected by MWA have differences in expression levels. The red color in each figure represents an increase in the expression level of the corresponding serum protein, while the green color represents a decrease in the expression level of the corresponding serum protein.
另一併參照第3圖,第3圖係為三組不同受試者中,其阿茲海默症患者、阿茲海默症未患病成年子女以及健康對照者,三者之各血清蛋白表達量平均值,將其正規化並轉換為對數值所得之血清蛋白質譜圖;由第3圖中可看出,與健康對照組(HC)相比,阿茲海默症患者(AD)及阿茲海默症未患病成年子女(ACS)之血清蛋白質譜圖更為相似,AD及ACS之血清中,ABCA1、ABCG1、LXRβ以及SREBP1的表達水平較HC高,但ApoD、ApoE、ApoH、c_Myc、COX2、LXRα、MST1、MST2、Nanog、PPARγ、TAZ以及YAP的表達水平較HC低。由該等結果表明,該些血清蛋白可能與阿茲海默症之疾病進展具有相關性。 In addition, please refer to Figure 3, which is a serum protein spectrum obtained by normalizing and converting the average expression of serum proteins in three different groups of subjects, namely, Alzheimer's disease patients, non-ADD adult children, and healthy controls. It can be seen from Figure 3 that compared with the healthy control group (HC), the serum protein spectra of Alzheimer's disease patients (AD) and non-ADD adult children (ACS) are more similar. In the serum of AD and ACS, the expression levels of ABCA1, ABCG1, LXRβ and SREBP1 are higher than those of HC, but the expression levels of ApoD, ApoE, ApoH, c_Myc, COX2, LXRα, MST1, MST2, Nanog, PPARγ, TAZ and YAP are lower than those of HC. These results suggest that these serum proteins may be associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
再一併參照第4圖,第4圖係為三組不同受試者中,其阿茲海默症患者、阿茲海默症未患病成年子女,兩者之各血清蛋白表達量平均值,將其正規化並轉換為對數值所得之血清蛋白質譜圖;考慮到阿茲海默症未患病成年子女(ACS)尚未發展為阿茲海默症患者(AD),其兩者之血清蛋白質譜圖可能具有差異性,故由第4圖中可看出,AD之血清中,ABCG1、ApoD、ApoH、COX2、LXRα以及YAP的表達水平較ACS高,但ABCA1、ApoE、c_Myc、LATS1、MST1、 MST2、Nanog、NFκB_p50、PPARγ以及SREBP2的表達水平較ACS低,由此可證明ACS及AD兩者之血清蛋白質譜圖確實具有差異性。 Refer again to Figure 4. Figure 4 shows the average expression of each serum protein in three different groups of subjects: patients with Alzheimer's disease and adult children without Alzheimer's disease. , the serum protein spectrum obtained by normalizing it and converting it into a logarithmic value; considering that the adult children without Alzheimer's disease (ACS) have not yet developed into Alzheimer's disease patients (AD), the serum of the two Protein spectra may be different, so it can be seen from Figure 4 that in the serum of AD, the expression levels of ABCG1, ApoD, ApoH, COX2, LXRα and YAP are higher than those of ACS, but the expression levels of ABCA1, ApoE, c_Myc, LATS1, MST1, The expression levels of MST2, Nanog, NFκB_p50, PPARγ and SREBP2 are lower than those in ACS, which proves that the serum protein profiles of ACS and AD are indeed different.
實施例2:阿茲海默症子代罹患風險預測公式之建立及評估 Example 2: Establishment and evaluation of risk prediction formula for offspring with Alzheimer’s disease
由前述實施例1中,阿茲海默症患者、阿茲海默症未患病成年子女以及健康對照者三者之血清蛋白分析中,可看出確實於其三者之間,不同血清蛋白之表達水平確實有差異性;因此,利用最小絕對壓縮挑選機制(least absolute shrinkage and selection operator,Lasso)算法,對該等血清蛋白進行分析,找出可預測阿茲海默症罹患風險的蛋白質組合,並利用該等蛋白質組合建立一風險預測公式,獲得一預測分數。 From the aforementioned Example 1, the serum protein analysis of Alzheimer's disease patients, adult children without Alzheimer's disease, and healthy controls, it can be seen that there are indeed different serum proteins among the three. There are indeed differences in expression levels; therefore, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) algorithm was used to analyze these serum proteins to find protein combinations that can predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease. , and use these protein combinations to establish a risk prediction formula and obtain a prediction score.
由Lasso算法對該等血清蛋白進行分析後,可預測阿茲海默症罹患風險的蛋白質組合為以下17個血清蛋白:ABCA1、ABCG1、ApoD、ApoE、ApoH、c_Myc、COX2、LATS1、LXRα、LXRβ、MST1、MST2、Nanog、NFκB_p50、PPARγ、SREBP1以及TAZ。 After analyzing these serum proteins by the Lasso algorithm, the protein combinations that can predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease are the following 17 serum proteins: ABCA1, ABCG1, ApoD, ApoE, ApoH, c_Myc, COX2, LATS1, LXRα, LXRβ , MST1, MST2, Nanog, NFκB_p50, PPARγ, SREBP1 and TAZ.
接著,利用上述17個血清蛋白建立第一風險預測公式,如下述公式(1)所示:預測分數=-0.056908210752237*ABCA1+0.526412395448416*ABCG1+0.00919248573432031*ApoD+-0.0227426840915952*ApoE+-0.0334007210928206*ApoH+-0.152849110362542*c_Myc+-0.0654914828256779*COX2+0.104008716614498*LATS1+-0.0118491370530603*LXR_alpha+0.0738440948924043*LXR_beta+0.0246146560850935*MST1+-0.540352796884419*MST2+-0.328821536622116*Nanog+-0.080653522216878*NFkB_p50+ -0.00442425403949714*PPARr+0.0162380856310409*SREBP1+0.33847940235587*TAZ 公式(1) Next, the first risk prediction formula was established using the above 17 serum proteins, as shown in the following formula (1): Prediction score = -0.056908210752237*ABCA1+0.526412395448416*ABCG1+0.00919248573432031*ApoD+-0.0227426840915952*ApoE+-0.0334007210928206*ApoH+-0.152849110362542*c_Myc+-0.0654914828256779*COX2+0.104008716614498*LAT S1+-0.0118491370530603*LXR_alpha+0.0738440948924043*LXR_beta+0.0246146560850935*MST1+-0.540352796884419*MST2+-0.328821536622116*Nanog+-0.080653522216878*NFkB_p50+ -0.00442425403949714*PPARr+0.0162380856310409*SREBP1+0.33847940235587*TAZ Formula (1)
其中,公式(1)中各權重參數所乘上之血清蛋白,係為血清蛋白之表達量,所獲得之第一預測分數可用於預測阿茲海默症子代罹患風險,當第一預測分數大於等於0.25分時,代表其阿茲海默症子代有極高罹患阿茲海默症之風險;而當第一預測分數小於0.25分時,代表其阿茲海默症子代無罹患阿茲海默症之風險,然其第一預測分數越接近0.25分時,代表其阿茲海默症子代罹患阿茲海默症之風險越高。 Among them, the serum protein multiplied by each weight parameter in formula (1) is the expression amount of serum protein. The first prediction score obtained can be used to predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease offspring. When the first prediction score is greater than or equal to 0.25 points, it means that the Alzheimer's disease offspring has a very high risk of suffering from Alzheimer's disease; and when the first prediction score is less than 0.25 points, it means that the Alzheimer's disease offspring has no risk of suffering from Alzheimer's disease. However, the closer the first prediction score is to 0.25 points, the higher the risk of Alzheimer's disease offspring suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
請參閱第5圖,第5圖係為將Lasso算法分析之17個可預測阿茲海默症罹患風險的蛋白質組合,利用其蛋白質組合建立之風險預測公式,對第一批受試者進行預測所得之ROC曲線圖。由第5圖中可看出,其曲線下面積(Area Under Curye,AUC)為1,代表公式(1)之預測效果極佳,可精確的預測出阿茲海默症子代是否罹患阿茲海默症。 Please refer to Figure 5. Figure 5 shows the 17 protein combinations that can predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease analyzed by the Lasso algorithm, and the risk prediction formula established using the protein combinations to predict the first batch of subjects. The resulting ROC curve graph. As can be seen from Figure 5, the area under the curve (AUC) is 1, which means that the prediction effect of formula (1) is excellent and can accurately predict whether the offspring of Alzheimer's disease will suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Heimer's disease.
為了再次確認公式(1)對於不同批受試者是否依然具有極佳之預測效果,再次利用MWA對第二批受試者進行分析後,使用公式(1)進行風險預測;第二批受試者經篩選後,包含阿茲海默症患者8名,阿茲海默症未患病成年子女10名,以及健康對照者12名。 In order to confirm whether formula (1) still has excellent predictive effect for different groups of subjects, MWA was used to analyze the second group of subjects again, and formula (1) was used to predict risk; after screening, the second group of subjects included 8 Alzheimer's disease patients, 10 adult children without Alzheimer's disease, and 12 healthy controls.
請參閱第6圖,第6圖係為將Lasso算法分析之17個可預測阿茲海默症罹患風險的蛋白質組合,利用其蛋白質組合建立之風險預測公式,對第二批受試者進行預測所得之ROC曲線圖。由第6圖中可看出,其曲線下面積(AUC)為0.99,由此結果可再次證明公式(1)對於不同受試者依然具有極佳之預測效果。 Please refer to Figure 6, which is a ROC curve obtained by using the risk prediction formula established by the Lasso algorithm to analyze the 17 protein combinations that can predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease for the second batch of subjects. As can be seen from Figure 6, the area under the curve (AUC) is 0.99, which once again proves that formula (1) still has an excellent prediction effect for different subjects.
另一方面,為使血清蛋白之分析更加簡化,達到利用更少血清蛋白即可用於預測阿茲海默症罹患風險之目的,由上述公式(1)中,依據權重將血清蛋白種類縮小至6個血清蛋白之組合,即ABCG1、c_Myc、LATS1、MST2、Nanog以及TAZ等6個血清蛋白,利用上述6個血清蛋白建立第二風險預測公式,如下述公式(2)所示:預測分數=0.526412395448416*ABCG1+-0.152849110362542*c_Myc+0.104008716614498*LATS1+-0.540352796884419*MST2+-0.328821536622116*Nanog+0.33847940235587*TAZ 公式(2) On the other hand, in order to simplify the analysis of serum proteins and achieve the purpose of using fewer serum proteins to predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease, the types of serum proteins in the above formula (1) are narrowed down to a combination of 6 serum proteins according to the weights, namely ABCG1, c_Myc, LATS1, MST2, Nanog and TAZ. The above 6 serum proteins are used to establish a second risk prediction formula, as shown in the following formula ( 2) As shown: Prediction score = 0.526412395448416*ABCG1+-0.152849110362542*c_Myc+0.104008716614498*LATS1+-0.540352796884419*MST2+-0.328821536622116*Nanog+0.33847940235587*TAZ Formula (2)
其中,經公式(2)所計算獲得之第二預測分數,當第二預測分數大於等於-0.1分時,代表其阿茲海默症子代有極高罹患阿茲海默症之風險;而當第二預測分數小於-0.1分時,代表其阿茲海默症子代無罹患阿茲海默症之風險,然其第二預測分數越接近-0.1分時,代表其阿茲海默症子代罹患阿茲海默症之風險越高。 Among them, the second prediction score calculated by formula (2), when the second prediction score is greater than or equal to -0.1 points, means that the offspring with Alzheimer's disease have a very high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease; and When the second prediction score is less than -0.1 points, it means that the children with Alzheimer's disease have no risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. However, when the second prediction score is closer to -0.1 points, it means that the children with Alzheimer's disease have no risk of Alzheimer's disease. The risk of offspring developing Alzheimer's disease is higher.
請參閱第7圖,第7圖係為將Lasso算法分析之17個可預測阿茲海默症罹患風險的蛋白質組合中,挑選出其中6個權重較高之蛋白質所建立之風險預測公式,對第一批受試者進行預測所得之ROC曲線圖。由第7圖中可看出,其曲線下面積(Area Under Curve,AUC)為0.99,代表公式(2)之預測效果極佳,即便用於預測之血清蛋白種類減少,依然可精確的預測出阿茲海默症子代是否罹患阿茲海默症。 Please refer to Figure 7, which is a risk prediction formula established by selecting 6 proteins with higher weights from the 17 protein combinations that can predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease analyzed by the Lasso algorithm, and the ROC curve obtained by predicting the first batch of subjects. As can be seen from Figure 7, the area under the curve (AUC) is 0.99, indicating that the prediction effect of formula (2) is extremely good. Even if the types of serum proteins used for prediction are reduced, it can still accurately predict whether the offspring of Alzheimer's disease will suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
同樣地,為了再次確認公式(2)對於不同批受試者是否依然具有極佳之預測效果,再利用公式(2)對前述第二批受試者進行預測。 Similarly, in order to reconfirm whether Formula (2) still has excellent prediction effect for different batches of subjects, Formula (2) is then used to predict the aforementioned second batch of subjects.
請參閱第8圖,第8圖係為將Lasso算法分析之17個可預測阿茲海默症罹患風險的蛋白質組合中,挑選出其中6個權重較高之蛋白質所建立之風險預測公式,對第二批受試者進行預測所得之ROC曲線圖。由第8圖中可看出,其曲線下面積(AUC)為1,由此結果可再次證明公式(2)對於不同受試者確實具有極佳之預測效果。 Please refer to Figure 8. Figure 8 is a risk prediction formula established by selecting 6 proteins with higher weights among the 17 protein combinations that can predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease analyzed by the Lasso algorithm. The ROC curve obtained by predicting the second batch of subjects. As can be seen from Figure 8, the area under the curve (AUC) is 1. This result can once again prove that formula (2) does have excellent predictive effects for different subjects.
綜上所述,本發明所述之預測阿茲海默症子代罹患風險之方法,其預測效果極佳,藉此方法可提早於阿茲海默症尚未發病前,即可依據血清蛋白之不同表達量以預測該名阿茲海默症子代是否具有罹患阿茲海默症之風險;以習知的技術,均需於阿茲海默症發病後方可診斷,甚至發病一陣子、累積許多變異後才可診斷出罹患阿茲海默症;阿茲海默症越早發現而進行治療,其治療效果越佳,故本發明所提供之方法可讓受試者於未發病前即可發現罹患阿茲海默症的可能性,及早進行治療可預防罹患阿茲海默症,抑或是達到更好的預後效果。 In summary, the method of predicting the risk of Alzheimer's disease in offspring according to the present invention has excellent prediction effect. This method can be used to predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease in advance, based on the serum protein, before the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Different expression levels are used to predict whether the offspring with Alzheimer's disease is at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. With conventional techniques, diagnosis can only be made after the onset of Alzheimer's disease, or even after the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease can only be diagnosed after many mutations; the earlier Alzheimer's disease is discovered and treated, the better the treatment effect will be. Therefore, the method provided by the present invention can allow subjects to treat Alzheimer's disease before it develops. Detecting the possibility of Alzheimer's disease and providing early treatment can prevent Alzheimer's disease or achieve a better prognosis.
