项目摘要

Dementia is a common disorder that increases in frequency in the elderly. Dementia is a progressive loss of thinking and memory skills that eventually results in an inability to care for oneself and to live independently. The most common cause of dementia in older Americans is Alzheimer’s Disease, which develops as a result of multiple lifestyle/environmental factors and inherited or familial causes. Many familial traits (such as the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease) are inherited genetically, through gene variants (sequences of a chemical code called DNA). The most common genetic variant that increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease is called APOE4. Although we have known for over 25 years that inheriting an APOE4 genetic variant (also called an allele) increases Alzheimer’s disease risk, it is unclear how and why APOE4 increases this risk. Recent data has raised the possibility that APOE4 may act by increasing the activation of the complement pathway, a set of proteins that are used by immune cells to kill and eat bacteria, and that also play a role in “killing” and “eating” connections between nerve cells in the brain, known as synapses. In this project, we will examine whether people that carry the APOE4 allele (either 1 or 2 copies of this allele) have increased evidence of complement pathway activation in the fluid that bathes their brain and spinal cord, known as the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) across the full adult lifespan. We have begun to assemble a set of CSF samples from our own studies as well as biobanks in the US and Europe. To date we have collected or received approval to use CSF samples from 400 individuals. This administrative supplement will allow us to recruit additional subjects between the ages of 18-39 to complete the set of CSF samples needed for this analysis. These samples will be analyzed using an advanced method that can measure the levels of a large percentage of all proteins present in human CSF, and which can precisely measure the levels of proteins in the complement pathway. Overall, this work will help us understand how and why APOE4 changes the function of the brain, and how and why it contributes to AD risk. This work is an early step towards identifying proteins or pathways that could be targeted by drugs to prevent Alzheimer’s disease in people that carry an APOE4 allele before the onset of any clinical symptoms.

痴呆症是一种常见的疾病，在老年人中增加频率。痴呆症是逐渐丧失思维和记忆技巧，有时导致无法照顾自己和独立生活。在美国人中，痴呆症最常见的原因是阿尔茨海默氏病，由于多种生活方式/环境因素和继承或耕种原因。许多耕种特征（例如发展阿尔茨海默氏症的风险通过基因变异（一种称为化学密码的序列称为称为脱氧核糖核酸）。最常见的遗传变体增加了阿尔茨海默氏病风险 apoe4。尽管我们知道了25年以上，但遗传了APOE4遗传变异（也是称为等位基因）增加了阿尔茨海默氏病风险，目前尚不清楚APOE4如何以及为什么增加这个风险。最近的数据提高了APOE4可以通过增加激活来起作用的可能性在完整途径中，免疫细胞用来杀死和吃细菌的一组蛋白质，而且，这在大脑中神经细胞之间的“杀死”和“饮食”连接中也起着作用，称为突触。在这个项目中，我们将检查是否携带APOE4等位基因的人（该等位基因的1或2份）有更多的证据表明完成途径激活跨越大脑和脊髓的液体，被称为脑脊液（CSF）完整的成人寿命。我们已经开始从我们自己的研究中组装一组CSF样本以及美国和欧洲的生物库。迄今为止，我们已收集或已获得批准使用来自400个人的CSF样品。这种行政补充将使我们能够招募 18-39岁之间的其他受试者完成了所需的CSF样本集这个分析。这些样本将使用高级方法进行分析，该方法可以测量人CSF中存在的所有蛋白质中很大一部分的水平，并且可以精确测量完成途径中蛋白质的水平。总的来说，这项工作将帮助我们了解APOE4如何以及为什么会改变大脑的功能，以及如何以及为什么有助于广告风险。这项工作是识别蛋白质或途径的早期一步可以被药物瞄准，以防止携带APOE4等位基因的人的阿尔茨海默氏病在任何临床症状发作之前。
