Apolipoprotein C-I expression in the brain in Alzheimer's disease.
Abstract
The H2 allele of apolipoprotein (apo) C-I is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, this association is potentially confounded by the linkage disequilibrium of H2 with the epsilon2 and epsilon4 alleles of apoE and of H1 with the epsilon3 allele. To establish plausibility for a direct role for apoC-I in AD, we compared apoC-I and apoE protein and mRNA levels in postmortem specimens of frontal cortex and hippocampus from AD patients with levels in nondemented controls. In H2-allelic individuals (usually also epsilon4 carriers), apoC-I mRNA levels were strikingly lower with AD (by 65%, P < 0.05), but apoC-I protein levels in AD were significantly higher (by 34%, P < 0.05). The opposite direction of the apoC-I mRNA and apoC-I protein level changes in AD in the epsilon4/H2 genotype may reflect decreased clearance of CNS lipoproteins associated with apoE4. In H1/H1 (usually epsilon3/epsilon3) individuals, both apoC-I protein and mRNA were lower in AD. ApoC-I protein levels in hippocampus were nearly twice those in frontal cortex. Immunohistochemistry of hippocampus revealed colocalization of apoC-I protein with the astrocytic marker GFAP. In addition, cultured human astrocytes expressed the mRNA for apoC-I. This study confirms apoC-I expression in the CNS and identifies astrocytes as the source of apoC-I. In addition, it has revealed differences in apoC-I expression based on site, genotype, and disease status that may reflect a role for apoC-I in the pathogenesis of AD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
