Reversible Alzheimer’s Disease: The role of normal-pressure hydrocephalus

Between 9 and 13 percent of residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities are likely mis-diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and can be cured. Anthony Marmarou with the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Richmond, Virginia and his colleagues investigated how common it is to find buildup of fluid in the brain among clients in assisted-living and extended-care facilities. [1]  Known as idiopathic (unknown cause) normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), this condition mimics the behavior of Alzheimer’s disease. Normal-pressure hydrocephalus occurs when there is a restriction in the spaces that hold fluid deep inside the brain, resulting in pressure build-up. The pressure compresses the soft tissues of the brain restricting its function. The authors found that out of 147 patients between 9 to 14% had NPH depending on the diagnostic criteria used. Among these 17 patients, 11 received shunts and seven of these showed either transient or sustained improvement a year later. Although they were likely diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a year later most were cured.

The symptoms of normal-pressure hydrocephalus are very similar to Alzheimer’s disease. When identified as a distinct disease it is known as the “wet, wild, and wobbly.”  Characterized by urinary incontinence (wet), dementia (wild), and gait dysfunction (wobbly). It is estimated that 1.6–5.4% of those with dementia are affected by iNPH.[2]  If the condition is left untreated—most of these cases are overlooked as Alzheimer’s disease—chronic iNPH patients share overlapping characteristics with Alzheimer’s disease in 75% of the time. It becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate the two the longer that iNPH is left untreated since the NPH syndrome will become Alzheimer’s disease.

Although there is no community-wide study looking at how common NPH is, there are some small sample studies that indicates that it is likely to be very common among older adults 65 years older. [3]  Among older adults in the community, the prevalence is around 1.3%, higher in assisted-living and extended-care residents with 11.6%. A small proportion of patients (2%) show permanent improvement after releasing the pressure in the brain using a shunt. The problem is that there are no easy indicators—including brain imaging—for distinguishing iNPH and Alzheimer’s disease. The images must still be interpreted with clinical features, blood measurements, CSF biomarker measurements, tap test, and CSF drainage results.

Because it is hard to diagnose, iNPH remains under recorded. Many studies report an association between hypertension, vascular disease and iNPH—with strokes and heart attacks being common precursors—so there is a need to look at any vascular disease as a precursor to Alzheimer’s. And the problem is that Alzheimer’s disease is so broad a category that most things that affect the brain and cause behavior changes are likely to be diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease even though it is likely not, such as amyloid deposition, CSF biomarker content, and presence of vasculature diseases. [4] A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is a prescription for lost hope, whereas vascular disease is more likely to be amenable to therapy.

Vascular dementia—where the plaques and tangles are caused by a lack of blood flow in the brain (called cerebral perfusion)—is confused with Alzheimer’s disease most often because both share the same biomarkers and have the same expression. They look the same to the inexperienced clinician. Cerebrovascular disease among adults over 75 years of age is a common condition—36 percent overall, 25 percent for coronary, 58 percent hypertension, and 11 percent for stroke. [5]  It seems likely that because of these co-morbidities, vascular dementia contributes to, and is sometimes mis-diagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease. The silent issue is recognizing how frequently vascular disease promotes dementia.  Contemporary neuroscience still lacks a thorough understanding of exactly what contribution cerebrovascular disease makes to cognitive impairment. [6]

The answer is to move away from the practice of calling anything that disturbs cognition as Alzheimer’s disease.[7] Clinicians need a strategy, a roadmap to differentiate all these different type of diseases because they have different causes. Knowing the cause is the first step to formulating a cure. That is, if we are truly serious about finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.

Early Emotional Cascade and Alzheimer’s disease

Wrong on so many levels: The Amyloid Cascade hypothesis and Alzheimer's disease

Our body, including our brain, is constantly changing. Within each of the 37 trillion cells [1]  there is a constant dynamic activity. A relentlessly hive of activity maintaining, coordinating and enhancing functioning. All of this activity is based on four major molecules—macromolecules—essential for all known forms of life. These are fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and proteins. 

Fats and carbohydrates are the source of all energy for the body, while nucleic acids (meaning from the nucleus) and proteins (meaning primary or first) constitute the components of the body.

Nucleic acids hold our genetic material our DNA—Deoxyribonucleic Acid—whose sole purpose is to make and coordinate the production of proteins. DNA is stored in the nucleus while a replica of this DNA called RNA—Ribonucleic Acid—is a working copy of the many parts—called genes—of the DNA. The sole purpose of the DNA and RNA is to hold information that make up all the proteins that our body needs.

RNAs are thought to be earlier versions of DNA, our genetic templates. At some point the strand of information that contains the four nucleotides—chemical codes—must have combined with another RNA strand to form a DNA helix, a more stable and accurate structure. This structure is more stable because each nucleotide, piece of information, is matched on the other side of the double helix—like double entry book keeping, resulting in less chance of making mistakes. This robustness is a necessary feature if you aim to become immortal, as genes are.

Because the DNA is a stable structure, it must however be unwound and transcribed to form copies of RNAs which can then be translated to proteins. Proteins—which are made up of amino acids—function as enzymes, hormones and body tissues. The importance of proteins is expressed by the recent ambition to map all human proteins in the Human Proteome Project. Just because we mapped the genome does not mean very much if you do not know what those codes mean. Proteins are the deciphering tool.

As there are more proteins than genes, the aim to map all proteins is ambitious and much larger than mapping the genome. It is also very complex. The proteome has two additional levels of complexity. While the genome is defined by the sequence of four nucleotides, the proteome is determined by the same genome but then involving the permutations of 20 different amino acids. Each amino acid is defined by a set of three nucleotides on the RNA—a codon. A chain of amino acid is defined as a protein, having varying sequence and lengths. Each variation defines the physical structure, and the structure determines its function. This complexity resides within nearly each of our 37 trillion cells. Cells within specific organs produce specific proteins, although all cells have the capacity to synthesize all proteins.

In our body, most of our cells have a nucleus and a membrane around it—Eukaryotic Cell as apposed to Prokaryotic Cell. Within these eukaryotic cells is a complex factory of activity. Not only have eukaryotic cells evolved to include alien small organs— organelle such as mitochondria which have their own genetic material separate from the cell’s DNA—each cell has a copy of all of our genetic material, our body’s complete template.  How our genes virtually replace or maintain each and every cell as we live, is one of the most intriguing enigmas in science.

The DNA is like a musical record that is being played constantly. Instead of sound, the player—an enzyme, another protein, called ribozyme—makes negative copies of one strand of the DNA. Through a process known as transcription—it produces a negative copy called the RNA. As the DNA is transcribed, a strand of RNA is created within the nucleus of the cell. This RNA strand migrates out of the nucleus wall into the cytoplasm, the main part of the cell. This small negative replica is composed of a string of nucleotides which are “read” three nucleotides at a time—these keys are called codons. To produce protein, the DNA transcribes three types of RNA.

One part defines the type of protein to build, this is the messenger RNA—mRNA. The second RNA strand is a transfer RNA—tRNA—which attaches to a specific amino acid. Like a shopping trolley, it selects individual amino acids as the building blocks of protein. The final structure —rRNA—is the two-part machine called a ribosome, that builds the protein itself. Ribosomes combine the messenger and the transfer RNA according to the code, the codon. As it matches them together it then steals their amino acids. Ribosomes join one amino acid with the subsequent amino acid, creating chains of amino acids. This is the birth of a protein.

A protein starts life in the cell as a long chain of, on average, 300 of these amino acids. There are 20 different types of amino acids—nine are called essential that we need to get from our diet and cannot be manufactured. The sequence and number of amino acids determines how the protein chain will fold upon itself once completed. Some proteins provide structure, others transport molecules, while others help cells to divide and grow. The function of a protein is dependent on their folding structure. It is an origami dictated by the sequences of amino acids and the length of the chain.[2]

Back to Alzheimer’s disease

The Amyloid Cascade hypothesis was first articulated in 1992 [3] and became enshrined in the guidelines published by the National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer’s Association (Jack et al., 2011).  The amyloid cascade hypothesis posits that the deposition of the amyloid-β peptide in the brain is a crucial step that ultimately leads to Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid-β peptide is a small protein called a beta (β) that has misfolded and became an amyloid. [4] Amyloid refers to how small proteins interact together by combining and forming a solid insoluble mass—they become hydrophobic, shy of water, because of how they fold. This type of interaction has its own designation as a disease called amyloidosis. These misfolded proteins combine together to create plaques of a million or so amyloid beta molecules. According to the National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer’s Association, these amyloid beta molecules grow until they interfere with the normal functioning of the brain. This is the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. And they have tested and substantiated this theory with mice models. But there is a problem.

The problem

The Amyloid Cascade hypothesis has not been supported by the data on humans. To date most of the treatments tested in human clinical trials are amyloid-β-based drugs, including those that remove amyloid-β. Despite the success of these drugs in removing the plaques from the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients, the effect on behavior and thinking was negative.  [5]    Patients who had the misfolded proteins removes chemically did worse in tests than before the intervention. [6]

It seems that the clinical expression, the behavior, is not solely determined by increases in misfolded protein. A longitudinal study reported that eight percent of participants who behaved and acted free from dementia—when they died and had their brain examined—were found to have the most severe neuropathology. [7]  Despite having abundant and severe disease—neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques—they had normal functioning.

Approximately half of clinically demented oldest-old have insufficient neuropathology to account for their dementia. [8]  While approximately thirty to fifty percent of older adults without dementia meet the neuropathological criteria for Alzheimer’s disease. [9]

The reality

The story of errors in making proteins which end up in the brain, as the cause of neurological disease, is incomplete. The repetitive story about the biology is also intentionally simplistic. In reality, science is still too naïve to understand the molecular biology of cells and therefore the biology of Alzheimer’s disease. Although geneticists play with genes and create amazing results, we still do not understand the fundamental nature of biology. And we cannot understand the biology of Alzheimer’s disease before we can understand the molecular biology of cells.

Scientists make simplified determination despite knowing only a very small proportion of the biology of cell functioning. We might have traced most of the dance moves, but we still do not know the music. That symphony that all our cells are all dancing to remains mute. With a complex choreography of steps there remains new ones to identify. We are missing the poetry because of the words, and we are missing the music because of the steps.

Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make proteins is known as a gene. There are two variants of the same type of gene called alleles. Consider these as the paired dancers, with one being “dominant” over the other. There might be many (more than two) alleles for the same gene. How alleles communicate each other’s protein is unknown, especially how they communicate with alleles from a different gene. Unless we know the music of the dance, all that we can see is that there is communication and we can predict the outcome using a mathematical model. [10] However, prediction does not mean that we understand the mechanism.  

Another perplexity is that the size of a gene may vary greatly, ranging from about 1,000 individual nucleotides (bases) to 1 million bases. Genes that make protein—defined by unique start and stop codons—only make up about 1 percent of the DNA sequence. The rest is—we think—involved in the regulation. Around 99 percent of all genetic material is devoted to coordination.

Coordination of protein production—-how and how much of a protein is made; distribution, equilibrium and maintenance, including protection from viruses, bacteria, aberrant cells and malformations. This is the dance music and it seems that DNA is more invested in the music than the dance.

Regulation is the music of this dance that we see in protein synthesis. The transcription—DNA to RNA—and translation—RNA to protein synthesis—involves constant feedback, ensuring an equilibrium within the whole body. So far we are still mapping steps in the dance. It is a mystery how DNA self-polices itself, but it does. It edits code and monitors outcomes. [11]  For example in gene splicing, the initial messenger RNA is edited by removing introns--and joining exons together. And it does this as a dance. First it identifies the beginning and the end of the intron by its nucleotides. Small proteins (snRNPs), bind to these ends of the intron and forms a loop. The loop is then removed leaving the two remaining exons to link together. In addition to this method, there are alternate splicing methods which create many different variations from the same gene. In 2000 S. Lawrence Zipursky and his colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) identified that this alternate splicing resulted in "one gene–many polypeptides." From one template (gene) there are multiple ways of generating different proteins. How this is done is a mystery. But we know it is not a simple mechanistic process. This is a rhapsody that constantly repeats itself 37 trillion times in each of our cells.

And looking at this fathomless universe, you have to wonder, where does this leave the Amyloid Cascade hypothesis? If the music becomes faulty, then the dance becomes erratic. And we can see this not in one or two steps, but in a series of steps across the body. 

Imbalance

Protein mis-folding is continuous and “normal.”  The ribosome which reads the DNA to make the proteins makes mistakes in as many as 1 in every 7 proteins.  The gene splicing seems variable. Proteins can misfold through other mechanisms. For example, one of the amino acid might be deformed and eventually effect the whole protein. Or the protein is formed perfect but the conditions inside the cell—e.g. temperature or acidity—make it fold unconventionally. Sometimes the misfold is a required fold.  Perhaps the gene itself is dictating a misfold. We have to be careful with this concept of misfold and errors. These are moral judgments.  Especially when some combination of misfolded proteins--amyloids--are naturally produced to carry out necessary functions in the body.

Neal Hammer with the University of Michigan Medical school, and his colleagues, [12] reviewed cases where the amyloid has been shown to be a necessary feature. The authors conclude that “Despite over twenty years of [Alzheimer’s disease] AD research the nature of the toxic species of Aβ has yet to be conclusively identified and little is known about how Aβ polypeptide aggregation begins in vivo.“

We still do not know for certainty how many proteins there are in the body. The Human Proteone Project has so far identified 30,057 proteins. [13]  This figure might be revised to 100,000 unique types of proteins in humans. We also do not know the full extent, how often, and the overall consequence of misfolded proteins.  Aβ can be formed from 18 inappropriately folded versions of proteins naturally present in the body. But there are many more misfolded proteins that we have already identified, more remain to be identified. [14]  One thing that we have learned from nature is that errors are the salvation to immortality. Humans are the product of errors and the immortality of genes relies on the continuation of errors. Perhaps we should refrain from judging nature too early in our knowledge.

Amyloidosis in Alzheimer's disease.

The problem, we are told, is that when proteins fold incorrectly some become amyloids. And this happens so frequently that it becomes a disease all by itself called Amyloidosis. This physical expressions of the disease is determined by the type of protein that is misfolded and the organ or tissue it resides in. [15]  By studying amyloidosis it is now believed that certain misfolded small proteins called “seeds” can induce other proteins to fold—known as the study of proteopathy.  This is exactly what happens with the prion misfolded protein which causes a cascade of prion disease— Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease disease in humans. As with music that orchestrates the dance, the wrong tune will cause multiple wrong steps, and they are related to the same sheet of music. So that, as an example, Alzheimer’s disease is related, both clinically and also statistically, with type 2 diabetes, both seen as diseases of amyloidosis.  The other protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease, tau protein, also forms such prion-like misfolds. There is some evidence that misfolded Aβ can induce tau to misfold, although this might be a symbiotic relationship, one promotes the other.

So the question is why—if the National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer’s Association truly believe in the Amyloid Cascade hypothesis—are they not looking at all of these other diseases of amyloidosis together rather than in silos?

And we know the answer to that question already. [16]

The second question that follows is more fundamental. If all these diseases share a common process, if by addressing the known cause of one can we delay or stop the cause of a secondary disease? Perhaps then, a public health approach to Alzheimer’s disease is warranted. [17]

There is a third and more radical question. If these misfolded proteins are in fact there for a reason and not as a result of error, then what are they protecting us from?

Perhaps we do not know the underlying disease of Alzheimer's yet. There is increasing evidence suggesting that the large amyloid plaques are developed to protect. [18] And science is bearing this out. It could be that although the small misfolds are dangerous because they are small enough to interfere with the workings of synapsis—-by clamping together they become too big to interfere with the small synaptic transmissions. They are likely protecting the brain. Like a scab on a wound.

A research cul de sac might remain as long as we remain in our silos of research. We need to venture out and explore. “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.”―André Gide. We need such intellectual honesty to understand the complexity of Alzheimer’s disease and to dig ourselves out of this research cul de sac.

Antisense RNA—asRNA, piRNA, micRNA—inhibits translation of mRNA by physically obstructing the translation of some of the nucleoids, germ cell and stem cell development, sperm production, and epigenetic process.
Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are regulatory RNA involved in interference and inhibit gene expression (RNAi), alternative splicing, genomic imprinting, and X-chromosome inactivation
