中文摘要
阿尔茨海默病(AD)困扰着数百万美国人,但没有有效的治疗方法。 虽然
最近的研究表明,异常蛋白质(淀粉样蛋白和tau蛋白)在AD中积累并伴随神经变性,
这表明由大脑免疫细胞(小胶质细胞)引起的炎症是一个重要因素。 然而,在这方面,
在活体患者中测量炎症具有挑战性。铁是炎症的关键成分,
在AD中有毒。因为它可以通过MRI测量,铁可能是炎症的实际替代措施。
MRI与病理切片的结合表明,铁存在于AD的小胶质细胞中,特别是在AD的一部分,
大脑中对记忆很重要的区域海马体。 该项目提出,含铁蛋白的小胶质细胞
在疾病的早期就积累起来。 这种炎症的最终结果可能是tau积累,
神经元死亡如果含铁的小胶质细胞可以在疾病过程的早期通过MRI检测到,
已经变得过于受损,这可能会彻底改变AD的诊断和治疗。
项目目标如下。(1)确定含铁蛋白的小胶质细胞的积累是否
伴随着广泛的淀粉样蛋白沉积和在tau传播之前。该项目将研究
有和没有AD病理的患者死后海马体。 通过结合核磁共振成像和仔细的

英文摘要
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) afflicts millions of Americans, but no effective treatments exist. Although
abnormal proteins (amyloid and tau) accumulate and accompany neurodegeneration in AD, recent studies
suggest that inflammation led by the brain’s immune cells (microglia) is an important factor. However,
inflammation is challenging to measure in living patients. Iron is a key component of inflammation and may be
toxic in AD. Because it can be measured by MRI, iron may be a practical surrogate measure for inflammation.
Coupling MRI with pathology slides has shown that iron is present within microglia in AD, in particular in a part
of the brain important for memory, the hippocampus. This project proposes that iron-containing microglia
accumulate early in the disease process. The end result of this inflammation could be tau accumulation and
neuronal death. If iron-containing microglia can be detected by MRI early in the disease process, before memory
has become too impaired, this could revolutionize AD diagnosis and treatment.
The project goals are as follows. (1) Determine whether the accumulation of iron-containing microglia is
concomitant with widespread amyloid deposition and antecedent to tau propagation. This project will examine
the post-mortem hippocampus of patients with and without AD pathology. By combining MRI with a careful
examination of pathology slides, this project will prove that MRI is measuring iron-containing microglia across
the stages of AD. We will also see how the iron, microglia, amyloid, and tau overlap with one another in human
brain specimens. (2) Determine whether iron is higher in the hippocampus in AD compared to no AD using
advanced microscopy. This project will employ X-ray microscopy and electron microscopy to measure exactly
how much iron is in the hippocampus, and to define the precise location where it is increased in AD. (3) Determine
whether iron-containing microglia are present along with amyloid and tau in living AD patients, present with along
amyloid in patients with mild or no AD symptoms, and absent in patients with no amyloid. This proposal will
recruit patients with AD, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and healthy control participants from Stanford’s
Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. We will balance for gender and age across groups, perform a full
neuropsychological evaluation, and obtain APOE status. Participants will undergo three studies: a 7T GRE MRI,
an amyloid PET-MR scan, and a tau PET-MR scan. This project will show how iron-containing microglia, amyloid,
and tau overlap with one another in living humans.
The contribution of this project will be to show that 7T GRE MR measures iron-containing microglia. This
measurement can serve as an effective biomarker for inflammation in early AD. This project will enable many
exciting opportunities to test new therapies before the onset of memory decline.
