    Abstract Viable Alzheimer's disease (AD) hypotheses must account for its age-dependence; commonality; association with amyloid precursor protein, tau, and apolipoprotein E biology; connection with vascular, inflammation, and insulin signaling changes; and systemic features. Mitochondria and parameters influenced by mitochondria could link these diverse characteristics. Mitochondrial biology can initiate changes in pathways tied to AD and mediate the dysfunction that produces the clinical phenotype. For these reasons, conceptualizing a mitochondrial cascade hypothesis is a straightforward process and data accumulating over decades argue the validity of its principles. Alternative AD hypotheses may yet account for its mitochondria-related phenomena, but absent this happening a primary mitochondrial cascade hypothesis will continue to evolve and attract interest.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) features mitochondrial dysfunction and altered metabolism. Other pathologies could drive these changes, or alternatively these changes could drive other pathologies. In considering this question, it is worth noting that perturbed AD patient mitochondrial and metabolism dysfunction extend beyond the brain and to some extent define a systemic phenotype. It is difficult to attribute this systemic phenotype to brain beta-amyloid or tau proteins. Conversely, mitochondria increasingly appear to play a critical role in cell proteostasis, which suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction may promote protein aggregation. Mitochondrial and metabolism-related characteristics also define AD endophenotypes in cognitively normal middle-aged individuals, which suggests that mitochondrial and metabolism-related AD characteristics precede clinical decline. Genetic analyses increasingly implicate mitochondria and metabolism-relevant genes in AD risk. Collectively these factors suggest that mitochondria are more relevant to the causes of AD than its consequences, and support the view that a mitochondrial cascade features prominently in AD. This chapter reviews the case for mitochondrial and metabolism dysfunction in AD and the challenges of proving that a primary mitochondrial cascade is pertinent to the disease.

    Abstract Background: DNA breaks accumulate in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. While their role as true genomic lesions is recognized, DNA breaks also support cognitive function by facilitating the expression of activity-dependent immediate early genes. This process involves TOP2B, a DNA topoisomerase that catalyzes the formation of DNA double-strand breaks.
    Objective: To characterize how AD impacts adaptive DNA breaks at nervous system genes.
    Methods: We leveraged the ability of DNA single- and double-strand breaks to activate poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) that conjugate poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) to adjacent proteins. To characterize the genomic sites harboring DNA breaks in AD brains, nuclei extracted from 3 AD and 3 non-demented autopsy brains (frontal cortex, all male donors, age 78 to 91 years of age) were analyzed through CUT&RUN in which we targeted PAR with subsequent DNA sequencing.
    Results: Although the AD brains contained 19.9 times more PAR peaks than the non-demented brains, PAR peaks at nervous system genes were profoundly lost in AD brains, and the expression of these genes was downregulated. This result is consistent with our previous CUT&RUN targeting γH2AX, which marks DNA double-strand breaks. In addition, TOP2B expression was significantly decreased in the AD brains.
    Conclusions: Although AD brains contain a net increase in DNA breaks, adaptive DNA breaks at nervous system genes are lost in AD brains. This could potentially reflect diminished TOP2B expression and contribute to impaired neuron function and cognition in AD patients.

    Abstract Advancing age is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). This raises the question of whether AD biology mechanistically diverges from aging biology or alternatively represents exaggerated aging. Correlative and modeling studies can inform this question, but without a firm grasp of what drives aging and AD it is difficult to definitively resolve this quandary. This review speculates over the relevance of a particular hallmark of aging, mitochondrial function, to AD, and further provides background information that is pertinent to and provides perspective on this speculation.

    Abstract Fused in sarcoma (FUS) mutations cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and motor neuron disease (MND). Here, we describe a 43-year-old man with progressive behavioral and cognitive change, myelopathy, clinical and electrophysiologic evidence of MND, and a FUS variant of unknown significance (VUS). This VUS, a heterozygous G559A transition (Gly187Ser), was previously reported in a patient with sporadic MND and affects important FUS biophysical properties. While this rare variant's presence in a second patient with a related neurodegenerative syndrome does not establish pathogenicity, it raises the question of whether its association with our patient is coincidental and increases the possibility that FUS G559A is pathogenic.

    Abstract Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is the most recognized genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), whereas ApoE2 reduces the risk for LOAD. The underlying mechanisms are unclear but may include effects on brain energy metabolism. Here, we used neuro-2a (N2a) cells that stably express human ApoE isoforms (N2a-hApoE), differentiated N2a-hApoE neuronal cells, and humanized ApoE knock-in mouse models to investigate relationships among ApoE isoforms, glycolytic metabolism, and neuronal health and aging. ApoE2-expressing cells retained robust hexokinase (HK) expression and glycolytic activity, whereas these endpoints progressively declined with aging in ApoE4-expressing cells. These divergent ApoE2 and ApoE4 effects on glycolysis directly correlated with markers of cellular wellness. Moreover, ApoE4-expressing cells upregulated phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase with the apparent intent of compensating for the HK-dependent glycolysis reduction. The introduction of ApoE2 increased HK levels and glycolysis flux in ApoE4 cells. PI3K/Akt signaling was distinctively regulated by ApoE isoforms but was only partially responsible for the ApoE-mediated effects on HK. Collectively, our findings indicate that human ApoE isoforms differentially modulate neuronal glycolysis through HK regulation, with ApoE2 upregulating and ApoE4 downregulating, which markedly impacts neuronal health during aging. These findings lend compelling support to the emerging inverse-Warburg theory of AD and highlight a therapeutic opportunity for bolstering brain glycolytic resilience to prevent and treat AD.
