Abstract

The origin of amyloid beta (A beta) deposited in brain and cerebral blood vessels of patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is not known. In this study, we tested whether soluble A beta (sA beta) can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). An in vivo vascular brain perfusion model and capillary depletion technique in guinea-pigs were used to determine cerebral capillary sequestration and blood-brain transport of a synthetic peptide identical with residues 1-40 (SP-40) of A beta. A saturable, specific binding of SP-40 has been demonstrated at the luminal side of the BBB, with the Kd of 25 +/- 2 nM, and Bmax of 188 +/- 11 fmol/min/g of isolated microvessels. A specific transcellular BBB transport of SP-40 into brain parenchyma exhibited the Km of 49 +/- 10 nM, and Vmax of 111 +/- 19 fmol/min/g of capillary depleted brain. We concluded that the BBB has the capability to control the cerebrovascular sequestration and blood-to-brain transport of circulating sA beta. Hence, sA beta can contribute to both cerebrovascular and parenchymal amyloid formation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
