Abstract:Objective To analyze the correlation of osteopontin (OPN) levels with inflammatory factors and severity of Alzheimer’s disease. Methods A total of 30 patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who were diagnosed and treated in the First Department of Encephalopathy in Affiliated Chinese Medicine Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from November 2016 to March 2019 were included in the study, served as AD group and MCI group respectively, while another 30 patients with non-inflammatory neuropathy (OND) were selected during the same period, served as the control group. The clinical baseline data and serum OPN, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-17A, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level were compared, while the Pearson correlation model was used to analyze the correlation between the patient’s serum OPN levels and inflammation indicators and condition. Results The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score of the AD group was higher than that of the MCI group and the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). TNF-α and OPN in AD group were significantly higher than those in MCI group and control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate linear regression showed that OPN and TNF-α levels were influence factor MMSE (t = 3.195, 3.545, P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that OPN level was positively correlated with TNF-α level (r = 0.749, P < 0.05). Conclusion The levels of OPN and TNF-α in AD patients are negatively correlated with the severity of the patient’s condition, and OPN may increase the expression level of TNF-α, thereby making the severity of the patient’s condition progress.
