Plasma MMP-9 Levels as the Future Risk of Conversion to Dementia in ApoE4-Positive MCI Patients: Investigation Based on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative Database - 21/11/24
Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
Abstract |
Background |
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) has been reported to be correlated with declines in hippocampal volume and cognitive function in ApoE4-positive MCI patients.
Objectives |
The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of plasma matrix MMP-9 on the conversion risk between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients with and without ApoE4.
Design and Setting |
Retrospective observational study using the data extracted from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database.
Participants |
We included 211 ApoE4-positive MCI subjects (ApoE4+ MCI) and 184 ApoE4-negative MCI subjects (ApoE4-MCI).
Measurements |
We obtained demographic and data including plasma MMP-9 levels at baseline and longitudinal changes in Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) up to 15 years. We compared conversion rates between ApoE4+ MCI and ApoE4- MCI by the Log-rank test and calculated the hazard ratio (HR) for covariates including age, sex, educational attainment, drinking and smoking histories, medications, and plasma MMP-9 levels using a multiple Cox regression analysis of ApoE4+ MCI and ApoE4- MCI.
Results |
No significant differences were observed in baseline plasma MMP-9 levels between ApoE4+ MCI and ApoE4- MCI. High plasma MMP-9 levels increased the conversion risk significantly more than low plasma MMP-9 levels (HR, 2.46 [95% CI, 1.31–4.48]) and middle plasma MMP-9 levels (HR, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.04–2.65]) in ApoE4+ MCI, but not in ApoE4- MCI. CONCLUSION: Plasma MMP-9 would be the risk of the future conversion to dementia in ApoE4+ MCI.
