Respective influence of beta-amyloid and APOE ε4 genotype on medial temporal lobe subregions in cognitively unimpaired older adults

Medial temporal lobe (MTL) subregions are differentially affected in Alzheimer's disease (AD), with a specific involvement of the entorhinal cortex (ERC), perirhinal cortex and hippocampal cornu ammonis (CA)1. While amyloid (Aβ) and APOEε4 are respectively the first molecular change and the mai...

description Medial temporal lobe (MTL) subregions are differentially affected in Alzheimer's disease (AD), with a specific involvement of the entorhinal cortex (ERC), perirhinal cortex and hippocampal cornu ammonis (CA)1. While amyloid (Aβ) and APOEε4 are respectively the first molecular change and the main genetic risk factor in AD, their links with MTL atrophy remain relatively unclear.Our aim was to uncover these effects using baseline data from 130 participants included in the Age-Well study, for whom ultra-high-resolution structural MRI, amyloid-PET and APOEε4 genotype were available.No volume differences were observed between Aβ + (n = 24) and Aβ- (n = 103), nor between APOE4+ (n = 35) and APOE4- (n = 95) participants. However, our analyses showed that both Aβ and APOEε4 status interacted with age on CA1, which is known to be specifically atrophied in early AD. In addition, APOEε4 status moderated the effects of age on other subregions (subiculum, ERC), suggesting a more important contribution of APOEε4 than Aβ to MTL atrophy in cognitively unimpaired population.These results are crucial to develop MRI-based biomarkers to detect early AD.
