Apolipoprotein E in Alzheimer's Disease: An Update

Open access
Yu, Jin-Tai, Tan, Lan, Hardy, John·2014·Annual Review of Neuroscience

Abstract

The vast majority of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases are late onset (LOAD), which is genetically complex with heritability estimates up to 80%. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) has been irrefutably recognized as the major genetic risk factor, with semidominant inheritance, for LOAD. Although the mechanisms that underlie the pathogenic nature of APOE in AD are still not completely understood, emerging data suggest that APOE contributes to AD pathogenesis through both amyloid-β (Aβ)-dependent and Aβ-independent pathways. Given the central role for APOE in the modulation of AD pathogenesis, many therapeutic strategies have emerged, including converting APOE conformation, regulating APOE expression, mimicking APOE peptides, blocking the APOE/Aβ interaction, modulating APOE lipidation state, and gene therapy. Accumulating evidence also suggests the utility of APOE genotyping in AD diagnosis, risk assessment, prevention, and treatment response.

  • ApoE isoforms encoded by various APOE alleles differentially influence the rate of soluble Aβ clearance from the brain interstitial space and formation of Aβ parenchymal plaques and VAβ.

    “ApoE isoforms encoded by various APOE alleles differentially influence the rate of soluble Aβ clearance from the brain interstitial space and formation of Aβ parenchymal plaques and VAβ [32, 33].”

    From APOE Genotype Differentially Modulates Effects of Anti-Aβ, Passive Immunization in APP Transgenic Mice (2017) · cites this paper as [33]

    The sections on Aβ clearance and aggregation describe isoform-dependent clearance of soluble Aβ from interstitial fluid and differences in brain plaque deposition. The copy does not establish an isoform-dependent effect on VAβ formation specifically (searched: VAβ, vascular Aβ, cerebral amyloid angiopathy). (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • The ɛ4 allele has detrimental effects on production, deposition, and clearance of amyloid-β, phosphorylation of tau, neurotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and blood-brain barrier permeability.

    “The ɛ4 allele has detrimental effects on production, deposition, and clearance of amyloid-β, in phosphorylation of tau, in neurotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and in blood–brain barrier permeability.57,59,60”

    From Plasma levels of apolipoprotein E, APOE genotype, and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in 105 949 individuals from a white general population cohort (2019) · cites this paper as [57]

    The sections on Aβ aggregation and clearance, tau pathology, neurotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and blood–brain barrier permeability describe the adverse APOE4-related effects listed in the claim. The section on APP trafficking and Aβ production is more qualified: some cell-culture studies suggest APOE4 enhances Aβ production, but others found no clear isoform-specific effect, and the authors call for in vivo investigation. The claim presents that production effect as established. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Plausible mechanisms underlying the association between low apoE levels and dementia-associated mortality are not explained by peripheral lipid metabolism, but likely by the role of apoE in β-amyloid handling and in neurodegenerative processes.

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.
