Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inflammatory activation and increased immune response to lipopolysaccharide occur in both depression and cognitive decline and may link these two conditions. We investigated whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS), LPS binding protein (LBP) and peripheral biomarkers of immune response were associated with increased cerebral deposition of amyloid-beta (Abeta) in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and remitted major depressive disorder (rMDD). DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis. SETTING Five academic health centers in Toronto. PARTICIPANTS Older adults with MCI with/without rMDD. MEASUREMENTS We investigated the associations among serum LPS, LBP, biomarkers of inflammatory activation - Interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and cerebral Abeta deposition quantified by positron emission tomography. RESULTS Among 133 study participants (82 with MCI and 51 with MCI+rMDD) there was no association between LPS (beta - 0.17, p = 0.8) or LBP (beta - 0.11, p = 0.12) and global deposition of Abeta following adjustment for age, gender, and APOE genotype in multivariable regression analyses. LBP was positively correlated with CRP (r = 0.5, p <0.001) and IL-6 (r = 0.2, p = 0.02) but no inflammatory biomarker was associated with Abeta deposition; rMDD was not associated with deposition of Abeta (beta -0.09, p = 0.22). CONCLUSION In this cross-sectional analysis, we did not find an association among LPS/LBP, immune biomarkers or rMDD and global deposition of Abeta. Future analyses should assess the longitudinal relationships between peripheral and central biomarkers of immune activation, depression and cerebral Abeta deposition.
