abstract = {We investigated whether the impact of tau-pathology on
memory performance and on hippocampal/medial temporal memory
function in non-demented individuals depends on the presence
of amyloid pathology, irrespective of diagnostic clinical
stage. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the
observational, multicentric DZNE-Longitudinal Cognitive
Impairment and Dementia Study (DELCODE). Two hundred and
thirty-five participants completed task functional MRI and
provided CSF (92 cognitively unimpaired, 100 experiencing
subjective cognitive decline and 43 with mild cognitive
impairment). Presence (A+) and absence (A-) of amyloid
pathology was defined by CSF amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) levels.
Free recall performance in the Free and Cued Selective
Reminding Test, scene recognition memory accuracy and
hippocampal/medial temporal functional MRI novelty responses
to scene images were related to CSF total-tau and
phospho-tau levels separately for A+ and A- individuals. We
found that total-tau and phospho-tau levels were negatively
associated with memory performance in both tasks and with
novelty responses in the hippocampus and amygdala, in
interaction with Aβ42 levels. Subgroup analyses showed that
these relationships were only present in A+ and remained
stable when very high levels of tau (>700 pg/ml) and
phospho-tau (>100 pg/ml) were excluded. These relationships
were significant with diagnosis, age, education, sex,
assessment site and Aβ42 levels as covariates. They also
remained significant after propensity score based matching
of phospho-tau levels across A+ and A- groups. After
classifying this matched sample for phospho-tau pathology
(T-/T+), individuals with A+/T+ were significantly more
memory-impaired than A-/T+ despite the fact that both groups
had the same amount of phospho-tau pathology. ApoE status
(presence of the E4 allele), a known genetic risk factor for
Alzheimer's disease, did not mediate the relationship
between tau pathology and hippocampal function and memory
performance. Thus, our data show that the presence of
amyloid pathology is associated with a linear relationship
between tau pathology, hippocampal dysfunction and memory
impairment, although the actual severity of amyloid
pathology is uncorrelated. Our data therefore indicate that
the presence of amyloid pathology provides a permissive
state for tau-related hippocampal dysfunction and
hippocampus-dependent recognition and recall impairment.
This raises the possibility that in the predementia stage of
Alzheimer's disease, removing the negative impact of amyloid
pathology could improve memory and hippocampal function even
if the amount of tau-pathology in CSF is not changed,
whereas reducing increased CSF tau-pathology in
amyloid-negative individuals may not proportionally improve
memory function.},
