APOE ɛ4 dose associates with increased brain iron and β-amyloid via blood-brain barrier dysfunction.
Objective: To examine the effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 dose on blood-brain barrier (BBB) clearance function, evaluated using an advanced MRI technique and analyse its correlation with brain iron and β-amyloid accumulation in the early stages of the Alzheimer's continuum.
Methods: In this single-centre observational prospective cohort study, 24 APOE ɛ4 non-carriers, 22 heterozygotes and 20 homozygotes in the early stages of the Alzheimer's continuum were scanned with diffusion-prepared arterial spin labelling, which estimates the water exchange rate across the BBB (kw). Participants also underwent quantitative susceptibility mapping, [11C]Pittsburgh compound B-positron emission tomography and neuropsychological testing. Using an atlas-based approach, we compared the regional kw of the whole brain among the groups and analysed its correlation with the neuroradiological and neuropsychological findings.
Results: The BBB kw values in the neocortices differed significantly among the groups (APOE ɛ4 non-carriers>heterozygotes>homozygotes). These values correlated with brain iron levels (frontal lobe: r=-0.476, 95% CI=-0.644 to -0.264, p=0.011; medial temporal lobe: r=-0.455, 95% CI=-0.628 to -0.239, p=0.017), β-amyloid loads (frontal lobe: r=-0.504, 95% CI=-0.731 to -0.176, p=0.015; medial temporal lobe: r=-0.452, 95% CI=-0.699 to -0.110, p=0.036) and neuropsychological scores, after adjusting for age, sex and APOE ɛ4 dose.
Interpretation: Our results suggest that an increased APOE ɛ4 dose is associated with decreased effective brain-waste clearance, such as iron and β-amyloid, through the BBB.
期刊介绍:
Endeavour, established in 1942, has, over its long and proud history, developed into one of the leading journals in the history and philosophy of science. Endeavour publishes high-quality articles on a wide array of scientific topics from ancient to modern, across all disciplines. It serves as a critical forum for the interdisciplinary exploration and evaluation of natural knowledge and its development throughout history. Each issue contains lavish color and black-and-white illustrations. This makes Endeavour an ideal destination for history and philosophy of science articles with a strong visual component.
Endeavour presents the history and philosophy of science in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring the journal is a valuable tool for historians, philosophers, practicing scientists, and general readers. To enable it to have the broadest coverage possible, Endeavour features four types of articles:
-Research articles are concise, fully referenced, and beautifully illustrated with high quality reproductions of the most important source material.
-In Vivo articles will illustrate the rich and numerous connections between historical and philosophical scholarship and matters of current public interest, and provide rich, readable explanations of important current events from historical and philosophical perspectives.
-Book Reviews and Commentaries provide a picture of the rapidly growing history of science discipline. Written by both established and emerging scholars, our reviews provide a vibrant overview of the latest publications and media in the history and philosophy of science.
-Lost and Found Pieces are playful and creative short essays which focus on objects, theories, tools, and methods that have been significant to science but underappreciated by collective memory.
