Exploring brain glucose metabolic patterns in cognitively normal adults at risk of Alzheimer’s disease: A cross-validation study with Chinese and ADNI cohorts
Objective: Disease-related metabolic brain patterns have been verified for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study aimed to explore and validate the pattern derived from cognitively normal controls (NCs) in the Alzheimer’s continuum. Methods: This study...

This study aimed to explore and validate the pattern derived from cognitively normal controls (NCs) in the Alzheimer’s continuum. Methods: This study was based on two cohorts; one from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and the other from the Sino Longitudinal Study on Cognitive Decline (SILCODE). Each subject underwent [18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) and [18F]florbetapir-PET imaging. Participants were binary-grouped based on β-amyloid (Aβ) status, and the positivity was defined as Aβ+. Voxel-based scaled subprofile model/principal component analysis (SSM/PCA) was used to generate the “at-risk AD-related metabolic pattern (ARADRP)” for NCs. The pattern expression score was obtained and compared between the groups, and receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn. Notably, we conducted cross-validation to verify the robustness and correlation analyses to explore the relationships between the score and AD-related pathological biomarkers. Results: Forty-eight Aβ+ NCs and 48 Aβ- NCs were included in the ADNI cohort, and 25 Aβ+ NCs and 30 Aβ- NCs were included in the SILCODE cohort. The ARADRPs were identified from the combined cohorts and the two separate cohorts, characterized by relatively lower regional loadings in the posterior parts of the precuneus, posterior cingulate, and regions of the temporal gyrus, as well as relatively higher values in the superior/middle frontal gyrus and other areas. Patterns identified from the two separate cohorts showed some regional differences, including the temporal gyrus, basal ganglia regions, anterior parts of the precuneus, and middle cingulate. Cross-validation suggested that the pattern expression score was significantly higher in the Aβ+ group of both cohorts (p < 0.01), and contributed to the diagnosis of Aβ+ NCs (with area under the curve values of 0.696–0.815). The correlation analysis revealed that the score was related to tau pathology measured in cerebrospinal fluid (p-tau: p < 0.02; t-tau: p < 0.03), but not Aβ pathology assessed with [18F]florbetapir-PET (p > 0.23). Conclusions: ARADRP exists for NCs, and the acquired pattern expression score shows a certain ability to discriminate Aβ+ NCs from Aβ- NCs. The SSM/PCA method is expected to be helpful in the ultra-early diagnosis of AD in clinical practice.Tao-Ran LiQiu-Yue DongXue-Yan JiangGui-Xia KangXin LiYun-Yan XieJie-Hui JiangYing HanElsevierarticleAlzheimer’s diseaseFDGPETSSMPCACognitively normalComputer applications to medicine.
