Brains from cognitively intact centenarians offer a unique window into mechanisms of neuroprotection. We quantified 3,448 proteins by LC-MS/MS in middle temporal gyrus (MTG) from 88 Alzheimers disease (AD) patients, 53 controls (50-99 years) and 49 centenarians (100+). After adjustment for cell type composition, A{beta} abundance associated with only five proteins, revealing upregulation of HTRA1, LRP1 and NRXN1 as early AD-associated changes. Conversely, tau abundance associated with [~]20% of the quantified proteome, revealing GPRIN1 as the top tau-associated protein. One-third of centenarians had high A{beta} abundance, often with Braak neurofibrillary tangle stages IV/V, yet all maintained low local tau abundance. Centenarians showed maintained proteostasis (low ubiquitin peptides, high proteasome components), high PCSK1 (prohormone maturation), high PFKFB2 (glycolysis regulation), mitochondria-coupled lipid {beta}-oxidation and lower APOE levels. Together, these findings suggest a model of neuroprotection in which A{beta} facilitates tau seeding, and where proteostatic and metabolic adaptations buffer against additional tau accumulation in centenarians.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
