Resum
Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is a major genetic risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this work was to find if carrying ApoE4 alleles correlates with molecular changes associated with specific processes involved in AD pathophysiology and whether they are useful as early biomarkers of AD. Fifty four young healthy adults (aged 20-55) were recruited. Of these, 33 carried at least one ApoE4 allele and 21 did not (ApoE 3/3). We also recruited eleven patients with clinical diagnoses of probable AD and nine persons of similar age without dementia who served as controls of the AD patients. Using peripheral lymphocytes, we measured RNA expression of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3 beta), the regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1), calcineurin, and RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) by PCR and protein levels of RCAN1, calcineurin, GSK3 beta, and phospho-tau by western blotting. Young healthy persons carrying the ApoE 4/4 genotype express more RNA for RCAN1, calcineurin, and PKR and higher protein levels of calcineurin, RCAN1, GSK3 beta, and phospho-tau than controls (ApoE 3/3). Moreover, we found that carrying one or two alleles for ApoE4 is associated with subjective cognitive impairment. We conclude that lymphocytes from young, non-demented persons carrying the ApoE 4/4 genotype show molecular changes that are involved in specific processes associated with the pathophysiology ofADsuch as increased phosphorylation of tau or increased expression of stress-related proteins like calcineurin, GSK3 beta, or RCAN1. These changes may help to understand the development of AD and in the early diagnosis of the disease.
