Consumo elevado de carne se asocia con mejores trayectorias cognitivas y menor riesgo de demencia en los individuos con genotipos ε3/ε4 y ε4/ε4 de la APOE #meat #cognitive #apoe jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Are you thinking about becoming a #vegetarian or #vegan? Then start by checking your genetic profile for the #APOE genotypes ε3/ε4 and ε4/ε4.
People with these genotypes benefit from eating meat, as it’s associated with slower cognitive decline and a reduced risk of #dementia.

New blog post is out: review of a UBC paper examining the effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype on a plasma biomarker of Alzheimer's disease. What do these findings mean for early detection?

A liver protein (ApoE) that rises with age blocks bone repair by shutting down growth signals. Removing this protein restored fracture healing, suggesting antibody therapies could reverse age-related bone healing decline.😀

Research Discovery: Two variants of the genotype apolipoprotein E (or APOE) may help “super agers” resist Alzheimer’s disease.
Diseases Affected: Alzheimer’s disease
Key Findings: Adults who qualified as “super agers” (people aged 80 or older whose memory and cognitive skills have not declined in 20 or 30 years) tend to have a higher frequency of APOE2 and APOE3 alleles, and a lower frequency of APOE4 alleles. APOE4 appears to be a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s.
What's next? While further research on super agers is needed, it’s currently possible to check for APOE variants in a genetic test. A higher APOE4 frequency suggests a higher Alzheimer’s risk, but health care providers can help patients identify and minimize other potential risk factors.
A study recently published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia shares that gene variants APOE2 and APOE3 may help protect “super agers” (people aged 80 or older with the memory and cognitive skills of adults in their 50s o 60s) against #Alzheimers. #SuperAgers #APOE
Keypoints: Muscularis macrophages express high levels of ApoE after intestinal manipulation, but macrophage-specific deletion of ApoE does not impair gut motility or tissue morphology. While global ApoE deficiency mildly affects intestinal transit and promotes inflammation, macrophage-derived ApoE is dispensable for maintaining normal and postoperative gut motility.

While the assay is effective for ruling out E4 alleles, confirmation via genotyping is still recommended for the most accurate results in the case of E4/E4, especially in individualized interventions contexts. 🧠

Golden et al. (2025) in Nature Neuroscience reported that APOE4 → APOE2 switch in mice improves AD-related markers! Astrocyte-specific targeting looks promising. Exciting implications for gene editing therapies. Check out the video: youtu.be/I6LuRVE7ygM

barplot of number of ancestry-specific DEGs. Venn diagram of overlap between African and European ancestry DEGs in Oligo.3. Scatter plot of DE t-statistics from each ancestry group.
The risk effect of #APOE is ancestry dependent, and the diverse set of donors in our study allowed us to assess this in our data. Oligo.3 was the major source of DEGs in both African and European ancestry, but DEGs were quite different between the two ancestries
Proposed model for oligodendrocyte subcluster classification and maturation trajectory in APOE E2+ and E4+ carriers
This pattern of downregulation of #oligodendrocyte maturation genes in pre-mylenating Oligo.3’s led us to hypothesize that the maturation of oligos is reduced in the #APOE E4+ ERC, which could lead to reduced myelination, rendering neurons more vulnerable to degradation in #Alzheimers disease
Volcano plot of Oligo.3, boxplots of select DEGs, heatmap of top up and downregulated DEGs in Oligo subtypes, top DEG enriched GO terms from Oligo.3
Examining the gene expression changes in Oligo.3 between #APOE carriers, genes up-regulated in E4+ were enriched in synaptic signaling & metal ion transport, down-regulated genes enriched in myelination & #oligodendrocyte development
Design of differential expression analysis in clusters between APOE E4+ and E2+ donors. Bar plot of number of DEGs from each cluster in SRT and snRNA-seq data, subcluster Oligo.3 had the majority of DEGs.
To explore gene expression changes in AD risk, we performed differential expression analysis with #voomLmFit on ERC clusters between high risk #APOE E4+ and low risk E2+. We found a large number of differential expressed genes in an oligodendrocyte subcluster Oligo.3 #edgeR #limma
