Apolipoprotein E4 and meningeal lymphatics in Alzheimer disease: a conceptual framework

Alexios-Fotios A. Mentis et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown the potential existence of meningeal lymphatic vessels in the brain, which may have implications for Alzheimer's disease. The relationship between the APOE4 gene and the meningeal lymphatic system has also been explored.

ApoE-Isoform-Dependent SARS-CoV-2 Neurotropism and Cellular Response

Cheng Wang et al.

Summary: The study suggests a potential causal role of ApoE4 in the severity of COVID-19, as tested in human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) models for SARS-CoV-2 neurotropism. Increased infection rates of SARS-CoV-2 in ApoE4/4 neurons and astrocytes were observed, with changes in ApoE4 astrocytes upon infection. Remdesivir treatment was effective in inhibiting SARS-CoV2 infection in hiPSC neurons and astrocytes, highlighting the impact of risk factors on COVID-19 severity.

COVID-19 enters the expanding network of apolipoprotein E4-related pathologies

Kalliopi Gkouskou et al.

Summary: Studies have shown lower frequency of the APOE e4/e4 genotype in Greek individuals compared to the British cohort, potentially resulting in fewer severe cases of COVID-19. Researchers hypothesize that APOE e4/e4 may increase susceptibility to infection and exacerbate lung inflammation through metabolic deregulation.

Meningeal lymphatics affect microglia responses and anti-Aβ immunotherapy

Sandro Da Mesquita et al.

Summary: The study found that the disappearance of meningeal lymphatic vessels worsened the outcomes of AD mice receiving immunotherapy targeting Aβ. However, therapeutic delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor C improved Aβ clearance. The gene signature of microglia with impaired meningeal lymphatic function in mice overlapped substantially with the transcriptional profile of activated microglia in AD patients.

Severe COVID-19 in Alzheimer's disease: APOE4's fault again?

Nian Xiong et al.

Summary: Challenges have been recognized in healthcare for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the APOE4 gene and its potential association with increased infection risk and severity in these patients.

APOE4 accelerates advanced-stage vascular and neurodegenerative disorder in old Alzheimer's mice via cyclophilin A independently of amyloid-β

Axel Montagne et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that APOE4 accelerates advanced-stage vascular dysfunction and neurodegeneration in old mice independently of amyloid-beta by activating the cyclophilin A pathway in pericytes. This has implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of vascular and neurodegenerative disorders in Alzheimer's disease.
