摘要

Identifying plasma-based biomarkers that can accurately differentiate Lewy body disease (LBD) from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a major challenge. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry molecular cargo from their parent cells and can cross the blood-brain barrier, offer a new path forward. We developed the multiplexed Track-Etch magnetic NanoPOre (mTENPO) platform, a highly parallelized microfluidic technology for cell-specific EV isolation, and demonstrated independent enrichment of GluR2+ (neuron-derived) and GLAST+ (astrocyte-derived) EVs from the antemortem plasma of 137 autopsy-confirmed LBD, AD, mixed pathology, and control subjects. By integrating miRNA sequencing of GluR2+ and GLAST + EV cargo with plasma measurements of Aβ40, Aβ42, tau, p-Tau181, and p-Tau231, we identified a multimodal 15-feature panel that more comprehensively reflects brain pathology than conventional biomarkers. Using tenfold cross-validation to mitigate overfitting, the panel achieved an accuracy of 0.95 and an area under the curve of 0.96 for distinguishing LBD versus AD.
