In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationships among plasma p-tau181, APOE ε4, and cognitive performance in non-demented elderly individuals.
We used individuals (n = 630) with cognitive normal (CN, n = 182) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n = 448). Multiple linear regression models were performed to test the effects of APOE ε4 × plasma p-tau181 interaction on MMSE, CDR-SOB, ADAS-cog13, and RAVLT immediate recall. All models adjusted for age, sex, and education.
In total, our study comprised 630 samples including 364 APOE ε4 non-carriers and 266 APOE ε4 carriers. In APOE ε4 carriers, plasma p-tau181 was significantly associated with MMSE (B = -0.04, p = 0.003), ADAS-Cog13 (B [unstandardized coefficient] = 0.21, p < 0.001), CDR-SB (B = 0.02, p = 0.003) and RAVLT immediate recall ((B = -0.17, p = 0.035). After correcting for Aβ status and diagnosis, the interaction between APOE ε4 and plasma p-tau181 was significant or marginally significant associations for RAVLT immediate recall (p = 0.076), MMSE (p = 0.011), CDR (p = 0.008), and ADAS-Cog13 (p < 0.001).
Our findings suggested that plasma p-tau181 levels predicted cognitive performance among non-demented older adults, but only in the APOE ε4 carriers.
在本研究中，我们旨在调查非痴呆老年人血浆p-tau181、载脂蛋白Eε4（APOE ε4）与认知表现之间的关系。
我们纳入了认知正常（CN，n = 182）和轻度认知障碍（MCI，n = 448）的个体（n = 630）。采用多元线性回归模型来测试APOE ε4×血浆p-tau181相互作用对简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）、临床痴呆评定量表-总和量表（CDR-SOB）、阿尔茨海默病评定量表-认知部分13项（ADAS-cog13）和雷伊听觉词语学习测验即时回忆（RAVLT即时回忆）的影响。所有模型均对年龄、性别和教育程度进行了校正。
我们的研究总共包括630个样本，其中364例为APOE ε4非携带者，266例为APOE ε4携带者。在APOE ε4携带者中，血浆p-tau181与MMSE（B = -0.04，p = 0.003）、ADAS-Cog13（B[未标准化系数]= 0.21，p < 0.001）、CDR-SB（B = 0.02，p = 0.003）和RAVLT即时回忆（B = -0.17，p = 0.035）显著相关。在校正Aβ状态和诊断后，APOE ε与血浆p-tau181之间的相互作用对于RAVLT即时回忆（p = 0.076）、MMSE（p = 0.011）、CDR（p = 0.008）和ADAS-Cog13（p < 0.001）具有显著或边缘显著的关联。
我们的研究结果表明，血浆p-tau181水平可预测非痴呆老年人的认知表现，但仅适用于APOE ε4携带者。
