Exploring Whether Iron Sequestration within the CNS of Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease Causes a Functional Iron Deficiency That Advances Neurodegeneration

FULL TEXT:

Abstract

The involvement of iron in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be multifaceted. Besides potentially inducing oxidative damage, the bioavailability of iron may be limited
within the central nervous system, creating a functionally iron-deficient state. By comparing staining
results from baseline and modified iron histochemical protocols, iron was found to be more tightly
bound within cortical sections from patients with high levels of AD pathology compared to subjects
with a diagnosis of something other than AD. To begin examining whether the bound iron could cause
a functional iron deficiency, a protein-coding gene expression dataset of initial, middle, and advanced
stages of AD from olfactory bulb tissue was analyzed for iron-related processes with an emphasis
on anemia-related changes in initial AD to capture early pathogenic events. Indeed, anemia-related
processes had statistically significant alterations, and the significance of these changes exceeded
those for AD-related processes. Other changes in patients with initial AD included the expressions
of transcripts with iron-responsive elements and for genes encoding proteins for iron transport and
mitochondrial-related processes. In the latter category, there was a decreased expression for the
gene encoding pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1 (PITRM1). Other studies have shown that PITRM1 has
an altered activity in patients with AD and is associated with pathological changes in this disease.
Analysis of a gene expression dataset from PITRM1-deficient or sufficient organoids also revealed
statistically significant changes in anemia-like processes. These findings, together with supporting
evidence from the literature, raise the possibility that a pathogenic mechanism of AD could be a
functional deficiency of iron contributing to neurodegeneration.
