Cerebrospinal Fluid Mitochondrial Biomarkers in Ischemic Stroke and Alzheimer Disease
A Prospective Observational Study of Cerebrospinal Fluid Mitochondrial Biomarkers Measured by Flow Cytometry in Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Alzheimer Disease Controls
This prospective observational study aims to investigate cerebrospinal fluid mitochondrial biomarkers in patients with ischemic stroke and Alzheimer disease controls who undergo diagnostic lumbar puncture for clinical indications at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University.
Residual cerebrospinal fluid samples will be analyzed by flow cytometry to quantify mitochondrial content, mitochondrial membrane potential, and cellular or vesicular source-related markers. The flow cytometry panel will include MitoTracker, JC-1, and membrane-associated markers including CD45, CD41, CD24, vWF, and EAAT1.
In patients with ischemic stroke, the study will further examine whether cerebrospinal fluid mitochondrial measurements are associated with neurological severity and functional outcomes, including admission and discharge NIHSS scores and the 90-day modified Rankin Scale score. Alzheimer disease patients undergoing diagnostic lumbar puncture will serve as disease controls for biomarker comparison.
연구 개요
상세 설명
Mitochondrial dysfunction is closely associated with ischemic brain injury, but the clinical relevance of extracellular or cell-associated mitochondrial signals in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with ischemic stroke remains insufficiently characterized. Cerebrospinal fluid may provide a biologically informative compartment for assessing mitochondrial injury, mitochondrial membrane potential, and potential cellular sources of mitochondrial signals in neurological diseases.
This is a single-center, prospective, observational study conducted at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. The study will enroll patients with ischemic stroke or Alzheimer disease who require diagnostic lumbar puncture as part of routine clinical evaluation between March 2026 and May 2026. No lumbar puncture will be performed solely for research purposes. After completion of clinically required testing, available residual cerebrospinal fluid will be collected for research flow cytometry analysis.
Flow cytometry will be used to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid mitochondrial content and related phenotypic features. MitoTracker will be used to detect mitochondrial signal, JC-1 will be used to assess mitochondrial membrane potential, and membrane-associated markers including CD45, CD41, CD24, vWF, and EAAT1 will be used to characterize potential leukocyte-associated, platelet-associated, neuronal/extracellular vesicle-associated, endothelial-associated, and astrocytic/glial-associated components.
The primary analysis will focus on patients with ischemic stroke and will evaluate the association between cerebrospinal fluid mitochondrial content and 90-day functional outcome measured by the modified Rankin Scale. Secondary analyses will examine associations between cerebrospinal fluid mitochondrial measurements and admission NIHSS, discharge NIHSS, and changes in NIHSS during hospitalization. Exploratory analyses will compare cerebrospinal fluid mitochondrial and membrane-marker profiles between ischemic stroke patients and Alzheimer disease controls.

Association Between Cerebrospinal Fluid MitoTracker-Positive Event Count and 90-Day Modified Rankin Scale Score in Patients With Ischemic Stroke
기간: Day 90 after stroke onset
|
The primary outcome is the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) MitoTracker-positive event count measured at baseline and functional outcome assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) on Day 90 after stroke onset.
The mRS ranges from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater disability or death.
