Association of Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase–Activating Polypeptide With Cognitive Decline in Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer Disease

Abstract: IMPORTANCE There is a deficit of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in patients with neuropathologically confirmed Alzheimer dementia. However, whether this deficit is associated with the earlier stages of Alzheimer disease (AD) is unknown. This study was conducted to clarify the association between PACAP biomarkers and preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia stages of AD in postmortem brain tissue.OBJECTIVES To examine PACAP and PACAP receptor levels in postmortem br… Show more

“…In a subsequent study, the same research group showed that PACAP decline was associated with mild cognitive impairment preceding Alzheimer's disease in the above described brain areas [ 18 ]. It was found that PACAP levels were lower not only in the superior frontal gyrus and middle temporal gyrus but also in the CSF [ 18 ], although to a lesser extent than in fully developed Alzheimer's disease.…”

“…These results show that PACAP does not only play a role in the pathological mechanisms of different types of primary headaches, but its plasma levels are associated with the disease and show correlation with the migraine phases [ 40 , 41 ]. Another recent study has further confi rmed the signifi cance of PACAP in the pathogenesis of migraine, rather than in tension-type headaches [ 18 ]. The authors confi rmed significantly lower interictal levels of PACAP in migraineurs than in healthy controls or in tension-type headache patients.…”
