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.
