APOE alleles and diet in brain aging and Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

The APOE gene alleles modify human aging and the response to the diet at many levels with diverse pleotropic effects from gut to brain. To understand interactions of APOE isoforms and diet, we analyze how cellular trafficking of apoE proteins affects energy metabolism, the immune system and reproduction. The age-accelerating APOE4 allele alters endosomal trafficking of cell surface receptors that mediate lipid and glucose metabolism. The APOE4 allele is the ancestral human allele, joined by APOE3 and then APOE2 in the human species. Under conditions of high infection, uncertain food, and shorter life expectancy, APOE4 may be adaptive for reducing mortality. As humans transitioned into modern less-infectious environments and longer life spans, APOE4 increased risks of aging-related diseases, particularly impacting arteries and brain. The association of APOE4 with glucose dysregulation and body weight promotes many aging-associated diseases. Additionally, the APOE gene locus interacts with adjacent genes on chromosome 19 in haplotypes that modify neurodegeneration and metabolism, for which we anticipate complex gene environment interactions. We summarize how diet and AD risk are altered by APOE genotype in both animal and human studies and identify gaps. Much remains obscure in how APOE alleles modify nutritional factors in human aging. Identifying risk variant haplotypes in the APOE gene complex will clarify homeostatic adaptive responses to environmental conditions.

  • APOE4 interacts with insulin receptors and other transporters, relocating them to the endosomal compartment; a similar mechanism may affect EAAT and GLAST surface expression, ultimately decreasing glutamate uptake capacity in APOE4 iAstrocytes.

    “APOE4 also interacts with insulin receptors and other transporters, relocating them to the endosomal compartment: a similar mechanism may also affect excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) and glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST) surface expression, ultimately decreasing glutamate uptake capacity in the APOE4 iAstrocytes (Yassine and Finch, 2020).”

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.
