INTRODUCTION
Neurofibrillary degeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) typically involves the entorhinal cortex and CA1 subregion of the hippocampus early in the disease process, whereas in primary age-related tauopathy (PART), there is an early selective vulnerability of the CA2 subregion.
METHODS
Image analysis-based quantitative pixel assessments were used to objectively evaluate amyloid beta (Aβ) burden in the medial temporal lobe in relation to the distribution of hyperphosphorylated-tau (p-tau) in 142 cases of PART and AD.
RESULTS
Entorhinal, CA1, CA3, and CA4 p-tau deposition levels are significantly correlated with Aβ burden, while CA2 p-tau is not. Furthermore, the CA2/CA1 p-tau ratio is inversely correlated with Aβ burden and distribution. In addition, cognitive impairment is correlated with overall p-tau burden.
DISCUSSION
These data indicate that the presence and extent of medial temporal lobe Aβ may determine the distribution and spread of neurofibrillary degeneration. The resulting p-tau distribution patterns may discriminate between PART and AD.
HIGHLIGHTS
Subregional hyperphosphorylated-tau (p-tau) distribution is influenced by hippocampal amyloid beta burden. Higher CA2/CA1 p-tau ratio is predictive of primary age-related tauopathy-like neuropathology. Cognitive function is correlated with the overall hippocampal p-tau burden.
简介
阿尔茨海默病（AD）中的神经纤维缠结变性通常在疾病早期涉及到内嗅皮层和海马体的 CA1 亚区，而在原发性年龄相关性 tau 病（PART）中，CA2 亚区则存在早期选择性易损性。
方法
采用基于图像分析的定量像素评估方法，客观评估 142 例 PART 和 AD 患者内侧颞叶中淀粉样β（Aβ）负担与磷酸化-tau（p-tau）分布的关系。
结果
内嗅皮层、CA1、CA3 和 CA4 的 p-tau 沉积水平与 Aβ 负担显著相关，而 CA2 的 p-tau 则不相关。此外，CA2/CA1 的 p-tau 比值与 Aβ 负担和分布呈负相关。此外，认知障碍与总 p-tau 负担相关。
讨论
这些数据表明，内侧颞叶 Aβ 的存在和程度可能决定了神经纤维缠结变性的分布和传播。由此产生的 p-tau 分布模式可区分 PART 和 AD。
重点
海马体淀粉样β负担影响亚区磷酸化-tau（p-tau）的分布。较高的 CA2/CA1 p-tau 比值预示着原发性年龄相关性 tau 病样神经病理学。认知功能与海马体总 p-tau 负担相关。
