项目摘要

Imaging Biomarker Core – Project Summary The Imaging Biomarker Core (IBC) of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) at Wake Forest School of Medicine will address a critical need to establish biomarkers that reliably differentiate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from other conditions that affect cognition in aging. Recently, an AD research framework was developed for a biologically-based classification to enhance identification of disease mechanisms, to appropriately target therapeutic interventions, and to track therapeutic response and disease progression. Neuroimaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure structural changes and positron emission tomography (PET) to track changes in pathological hallmarks such as beta-amyloid and tau, comprise a powerful approach to characterize the progressive pathology associated with cognitive decline and to differentiate AD from other dementias. To establish reliable biomarkers associated with AD and other conditions that impair cognition with aging will require a large collaborative effort and the national ADRC network is ideally suited to address this need. The Wake Forest ADRC can make unique contributions to the network. The IBC will conduct longitudinal, multimodal neuroimaging paired with phenotypic and genomic characterization of a diverse cohort of participants. The IBC will provide expertise and resources to complement the ADRC’s themes that focus on: 1) early transitions from normal aging to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD; 2) the role of metabolic and vascular risk in these transitions; and 3) the nature of these relationships in persons from underrepresented groups (URGs). The first aim of the IBC will be to leverage the Clinical Core and extensive existing Wake Forest imaging infrastructure, including research- dedicated PET and MRI, cyclotron, and advanced analytic pipelines, to conduct state-of-the-art longitudinal imaging to help identify the causes of AD and develop novel strategies for prevention and treatment. As a second aim, the IBC will integrate imaging data with clinical, biomarker, and other research data to facilitate scientific discovery. The third aim will be to develop imaging methods for animal models of AD, and the final aim will be to provide training and consultation on the latest scientific advances in neuroimaging to ADRC- affiliated investigators and trainees. Through these aims, the Wake Forest ADRC IBC will further the understanding of AD pathology and its relationship to cognitive decline and will significantly enhance the Center’s contribution to the ADRC network and to investigators worldwide.

成像生物标志物核心 – 项目摘要维克森林大学阿尔茨海默病研究中心 (ADRC) 的成像生物标志物核心 (IBC) 医学院将满足建立可靠区分阿尔茨海默病的生物标志物的迫切需求最近，出现了一个 AD 研究框架。为基于生物学的分类而开发，以加强对疾病机制的识别，适当地针对治疗干预措施，并跟踪治疗反应和疾病进展。神经影像技术，例如用于测量结构变化的磁共振成像 (MRI) 正电子发射断层扫描 (PET) 追踪病理标志的变化，例如 β-淀粉样蛋白和 tau 蛋白，包括一种强有力的方法来表征与认知衰退相关的进行性病理学，以及区分 AD 和其他痴呆症建立与 AD 和其他痴呆症相关的可靠生物标志物。因衰老而损害认知的条件需要大量的合作努力，并且需要国家 ADRC 维克森林 ADRC 网络非常适合满足这一需求。 IBC 将进行与表型和基因组相结合的纵向、多模式神经成像。 IBC 将为不同参与者群体的特征提供专业知识和资源。补充 ADRC 的主题，重点关注：1）从正常衰老到轻度认知的早期转变损伤（MCI）和AD；2）代谢和血管风险在这些转变中的作用；以及3） IBC 的首要目标是：利用临床核心和广泛的现有维克森林成像基础设施，包括研究- 专用 PET 和 MRI、回旋加速器和先进的分析管道，可进行最先进的纵向分析成像有助于确定 AD 的原因并制定新的预防和治疗策略。第二个目标是，IBC 将影像数据与临床、生物标志物和其他研究数据相整合，以促进第三个目标是开发 AD 动物模型的成像方法，最终目标是开发 AD 动物模型的成像方法。目标是向 ADRC 提供有关神经影像学最新科学进展的培训和咨询通过这些目标，维克森林 ADRC IBC 将进一步推进了解 AD 病理学及其与认知能力下降的关系将显着提高中心对 ADRC 网络和全世界调查人员的贡献。
