Proteomic changes linked to the limbic stage of AD

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia worldwide. In AD, neurodegeneration spreads throughout the brain cortex in a gradual and predictable pattern, causing progressive memory decline and cognitive impairment. Here, we conducted proteomic, acetylomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of human postmortem tissue samples from AD (Braak stage III-IV) and control brains, covering all anatomical areas affected during the limbic stage of the disease (total hippocampus, CA1, entorhinal and perirhinal cortices). A total of 58 tissues were analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS.
