To investigate the potential link among choroid plexus (CP) volume, glymphatic clearance and brain structural change in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients.Sixty-five RRMS patients and 48 healthy controls (HC) underwent MRI examination. The diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) was calculated to reflect glymphatic system function. The brain structure volume and DTI-ALPS index were compared between RRMS and HC. The mediating effect of the DTI-ALPS index between CP volume and brain structural changes was further investigated. The longitudinal changes of brain structure and DTI-ALPS index were compared in 20 RRMS patients.Compared to HC, CP volume in RRMS was significantly increased (P < 0.001), and DTI-ALPS index was significantly decreased (P = 0.001). The volumes of white matter, thalamus, putamen and pallidum were significantly decreased in RRMS, and the volumes of lateral ventricle and third ventricle were increased. Mediation analysis showed DTI-ALPS index partially mediated the association between CP enlargement and deep gray matter (DGM) atrophy in RRMS, and between CP enlargement and ventricle enlargement. CP volume and DTI-ALPS index were also significantly correlated with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) (P = 0.006, P = 0.043). Notably, the variation of DTI_ALPS index during the follow-up period were significantly and negatively correlated with the variation of EDSS (P = 0.045).Enlarged CP volume and decreased DTI_ALPS index may be closely related to DGM atrophy and ventricular enlargement in RRMS, and may be potential imaging markers of clinical disability.Copyright © 2024.
