We examined the impact of an APOE ε4 genotype on Alzheimer's disease (AD) subject platelet and lymphocyte metabolism. Mean platelet mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase Vmax activity was lower in APOE ε4 carriers and lymphocyte Annexin V, a marker of apoptosis, was significantly higher. Proteins that mediate mitophagy and energy sensing were higher in APOE ε4 lymphocytes which could represent compensatory changes and recapitulate phenomena observed in post-mortem AD brains. Analysis of the lipid synthesis pathway found higher AceCSI, ATP CL, and phosphorylated ACC levels in APOE ε4 lymphocytes. Lymphocyte ACC changes were also observed in post-mortem brain tissue. Lymphocyte RNAseq showed lower APOE ε4 carrier sphingolipid Transporter 3 (SPNS3) and integrin Subunit Alpha 1 (ITGA1) expression. RNAseq pathway analysis revealed APOE ε4 alleles activated inflammatory pathways and modulated bioenergetic signaling. These findings support a relationship between APOE genotype and bioenergetic pathways and indicate platelets and lymphocytes from APOE ε4 carriers exist in a state of bioenergetic stress. Neither medication use nor brain-localized AD histopathology can account for these findings, which define an APOE ε4-determined molecular and systemic phenotype that informs AD etiology.
