- Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Presenting as Alzheimer's Disease in a Retired Soccer Player(2016) GRINBERG, Lea T.; ANGHINAH, Renato; NASCIMENTO, Camila Fernandes; AMARO JR., Edson; LEITE, Renata P.; MARTIN, Maria da Graca M.; NASLAVSKY, Michel S.; TAKADA, Leonel T.; JACOB FILHO, Wilson; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos A.; NITRINI, RicardoThe relationship between soccer and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is not well established. We report clinicopathological correlations in an 83-year-old retired center-back soccer player, with no history of concussion, manifesting typical Alzheimer-type dementia. Examination revealed mixed pathology including widespread CTE, moderate Alzheimer's disease, hippocampal sclerosis, and TDP-43 proteinopathy. This case adds to a few CTE cases described in soccer players. Furthermore, it corroborates that CTE may present clinically as typical Alzheimer-type dementia. Further studies investigating the extent to which soccer is a risk for CTE are needed.
conferenceObject Inflammatory factors (cytokines and cortisol) across different brain regions in bipolar disorder and their associations with neuropsychiatric symptoms: A post-mortem study(2020) NASCIMENTO, Camila; NUNES, Paula V.; SUEMOTO, Claudia K.; RODRIGUEZ, Roberta D.; LEITE, Renata E. P.; GRINBERG, Lea T.; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos A.; NITRINI, Ricardo; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; BRENTANI, Helena P.; LAFER, Beny- A review on shared clinical and molecular mechanisms between bipolar disorder and frontotemporal dementia(2019) NASCIMENTO, Camila; NUNES, Paula Villela; RODRIGUEZ, Roberta Diehl; TAKADA, Leonel; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; GRINBERG, Lea Tenenholz; NITRINI, Ricardo; LAFER, BenyMental disorders are highly prevalent and important causes of medical burden worldwide. Co-occurrence of neurological and psychiatric symptoms are observed among mental disorders, representing a challenge for their differential diagnosis. Psychiatrists and neurologists have faced challenges in diagnosing old adults presenting behavioral changes. This is the case for early frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and bipolar disorder. In its initial stages, FTD is characterized by behavioral or language disturbances in the absence of cognitive symptoms. Consequently, patients with the behavioral subtype of FTD (bv-FTD) can be initially misdiagnosed as having a psychiatric disorder, typically major depression disorder (MDD) or bipolar disorder (BD). Bipolar disorder is associated with a higher risk of dementia in older adults and with cognitive impairment, with a subset of patients presents a neuroprogressive pattern during the disease course. No mendelian mutations were identified in BD, whereas three major genetic causes of FTD have been identified. Clinical similarities between BD and bv-FTD raise the question whether common molecular pathways might explain shared clinical symptoms. Here, we reviewed existing data on clinical and molecular similarities between BD and FTD to propose biological pathways that can be further investigated as common or specific markers of BD and FTD.
- d Argyrophilic Grain Disease: Demographics, Clinical, and Neuropathological Features From a Large Autopsy Study(2016) RODRIGUEZ, Roberta Diehl; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; MOLINA, Mariana; NASCIMENTO, Camila Fernandes; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraizo; FERRETTI-REBUSTINI, Renata Eloah de Lucena; FARFEL, Jose Marcelo; HEINSEN, Helmut; NITRINI, Ricardo; UEDA, Kenji; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; YAFFE, Kristine; GRINBERG, Lea TenenholzArgyrophilic grain disease (AGD) is a frequent late-onset, 4 repeat tauopathy reported in Caucasians with high educational attainment. Little is known about AGD in non-Caucasians or in those with low educational attainment. We describe AGD demographics, clinical, and neuropathological features in a multiethnic cohort of 983 subjects >50 years of age from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Clinical data were collected through semistructured interviews with an informant and included in the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly, the Clinical Dementia Rating, and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Neuropathologic assessment relied on internationally accepted criteria. AGD was frequent (15.2%) and was the only neuropathological diagnosis in 8.9% of all cases (mean, 78.9 +/- 9.4 years); it rarely occurred as an isolated neuropathological finding. AGD was associated with older age, lower socioeconomic status (SES), and appetite disorders. This is the first study of demographic, clinical, and neuropathological aspects of AGD in different ethnicities and subjects from all socioeconomic strata. The results suggest that prospective studies of AGD patients include levels of hormones related to appetite control as possible antemortem markers. Moreover, understanding the mechanisms behind higher susceptibility to AGD of low SES subjects may disclose novel environmental risk factors for AGD and other neurodegenerative diseases.
- Probing the correlation of neuronal loss, neurofibrillary tangles, and cell death markers across the Alzheimer's disease Braak stages: a quantitative study in humans(2018) THEOFILAS, Panos; EHRENBERG, Alexander J.; NGUY, Austin; THACKREY, Julia M.; DUNLOP, Sara; MEJIA, Maria B.; ALHO, Ana T.; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraizo; RODRIGUEZ, Roberta Diehl; SUEMOTO, Cclaudia K.; NASCIMENTO, Camila F.; CHIN, Marcus; MEDINA-CLEGHORN, Daniel; CUERVO, Ana Maria; ARKIN, Michelle; SEELEY, William W.; MILLER, Bruce L.; NITRINI, Ricardo; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; JACOB FILHO, Wilson; RUEB, Udo; NEUHAUS, John; HEINSEN, Helmut; GRINBERG, Lea T.Clarifying the mechanisms connecting neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) neurotoxicity to neuronal dysfunction in humans is likely to be pivotal for developing effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD). To model the temporal progression of AD in humans, we used a collection of brains with controls and individuals from each Braak stage to quantitatively investigate the correlation between intraneuronal caspase activation or macroautophagy markers, NFT burden, and neuronal loss, in the dorsal raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus, the earliest vulnerable areas to NFT accumulation. We fit linear regressions with each count as outcomes, with Braak score and age as the predictors. In progressive Braak stages, intraneuronal active caspase-6 positivity increases both alone and overlapping with NETs. Likewise, the proportion of NFT-bearing neurons showing autophagosomes increases. Overall, caspases may be involved in upstream cascades in AD and are associated with higher NFTs. Macroautophagy changes correlate with increasing NFT burden from early AD stages.
- Three-dimensional and stereological characterization of the human substantia nigra during aging(2016) ALHO, Ana Tereza Di Lorenzo; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; POLICHISO, Livia; TAMPELLINI, Edilaine; OLIVEIRA, Katia Cristina de; MOLINA, Mariana; SANTOS, Glaucia Aparecida Bento; NASCIMENTO, Camila; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraizo; FERRETI-REBUSTINI, Renata Eloah de Lucena; SILVA, Alexandre Valotta da; NITRINI, Ricardo; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; HEINSEN, Helmut; GRINBERG, Lea TenenholzThe human brain undergoes non-uniform changes during aging. The substantia nigra (SN), the source of major dopaminergic pathways in the brain, is particularly vulnerable to changes in the progression of several age-related neurodegenerative diseases. To establish normative data for high-resolution imaging, and to further clinical and anatomical studies we analyzed SNs from 15 subjects aged 50-91 cognitively normal human subjects without signs of parkinsonism. Complete brains or brainstems with substantia nigra were formalin-fixed, celloidin-mounted, serially cut and Nissl-stained. The shapes of all SNs investigated were reconstructed using fast, high-resolution computer-assisted 3D reconstruction software. We found a negative correlation between age and SN volume (p = 0.04, rho = -0.53), with great variability in neuronal numbers and density across participants. The 3D reconstructions revealed SN inter- and intra-individual variability. Furthermore, we observed that human SN is a neuronal reticulum, rather than a group of isolated neuronal islands. Caution is required when using SN volume as a surrogate for SN status in individual subjects. The use of multimodal sequences including those for fiber tracts may enhance the value of imaging as a diagnostic tool to assess SN in vivo. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed for understanding the structure-function interaction of human SN.
