Popis: | Neuroinflammation is a key part of the etio-pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. We test the relationship between neuroinflammation and the disruption of functional connectivity in large-scale networks, and their joint influence on cognitive impairment.We combined [11C]PK11195 positron emission tomography (PET) and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in 28 humans (13 females/15 males) with clinical diagnosis of probable Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment with positive PET biomarker for amyloid, and 14 age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy humans (8 females/6 males). Source-based ‘inflammetry’ was used to extract principal components of [11C]PK11195 PET signal variance across all participants. rs-fMRI data were pre-processed via independent component analyses to classify neuronal and non-neuronal signals. Multiple linear regression models identified sources of signal co-variance between neuroinflammation and brain connectivity profiles, in relation to group and cognitive status.Patients showed significantly higher [11C]PK11195 binding relative to controls, in a distributed spatial pattern including the hippocampus, medial, and inferior temporal cortex. Patients with enhanced loading on this [11C]PK11195 binding distribution displayed diffuse abnormal functional connectivity. The expression of a stronger association between such abnormal connectivity and higher levels of neuroinflammation correlated with worse cognitive deficits.Our study suggests that neuroinflammation relates to the pathophysiological changes in network function that underlie cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease. Neuroinflammation, and its association with functionally-relevant reorganisation of brain networks, is proposed as a target for emerging immuno-therapeutic strategies aimed at preventing or slowing the emergence of dementia.Significance StatementNeuroinflammation is an important aspect of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but it was not known whether the influence of neuroinflammation on brain network function in humans was important for cognitive deficit.Our study provides clear evidence that in vivo neuroinflammation in AD impairs large-scale network connectivity; and that the link between inflammation and functional network connectivity is relevant to cognitive impairment.We suggest that future studies should address how neuroinflammation relates to network function as AD progresses; and whether the neuroinflammation in AD is reversible, as the basis of immunotherapeutic strategies to slow the progression of AD. |
