Activity of P-Glycoprotein, a β-Amyloid Transporter at the Blood–Brain Barrier, Is Compromised in Patients with Mild Alzheimer Disease
Open accessAbstract
UNLABELLED: Studies in animals and postmortem human brain tissue support a role for P-glycoprotein in clearance of cerebral β-amyloid across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We tested the hypothesis that BBB P-glycoprotein activity is diminished in Alzheimer disease (AD) by accounting for an AD-related reduction in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). METHODS: We compared P-glycoprotein activity in mild-AD patients (n = 9) and cognitively normal, age-matched controls (n = 9) using PET with a labeled P-glycoprotein substrate, (11)C-verapamil, and (15)O-water to measure rCBF. BBB P-glycoprotein activity was expressed as the (11)C-verapamil radioactivity extraction ratio ((11)C-verapamil brain distributional clearance, K1/rCBF). RESULTS: Compared with controls, BBB P-glycoprotein activity was significantly lower in the parietotemporal, frontal, and posterior cingulate cortices and hippocampus of mild AD subjects. CONCLUSION: BBB P-glycoprotein activity in brain regions affected by AD is reduced and is independent of rCBF. This study improves on prior work by eliminating the confounding effect that reduced rCBF has on assessment of BBB P-glycoprotein activity and suggests that impaired P-glycoprotein activity may contribute to cerebral β-amyloid accumulation in AD. P-glycoprotein induction or activation to increase cerebral β-amyloid clearance could constitute a novel preventive or therapeutic strategy for AD.

In the citing paper
“Studies using [ 11 C]verapamil, an ABCB1 (P-gp) ligand and PET, have shown increased uptake of verapamil in certain brain regions in individuals with early AD, suggesting diminished ABCB1-mediated active efflux of xenobiotics and drugs at the BBB (33, 142), and possibly faulty A 𝛃 BBB clearance based on experimental studies (115, 400, 632).”

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.
