Glycoprotein 330/Megalin (LRP-2) Has Low Prevalence as mRNA and Protein in Brain Microvessels and Choroid Plexus

Chun, Jong T., Wang, Liang, Pasinetti, Giulio M., Finch, Caleb E., Zlokovic, Berislav V.·1999·Experimental Neurology

Abstract

Prior studies indicated that glycoprotein 330 (gp330)/megalin mediates transcytosis of apolipoprotein J (apoJ) with Alzheimer's amyloide-peptide (Abeta) across the vascular membranes of the central nervous system (CNS). Here we show the presence of gp330/megalin mRNA and gp330-like immunoepitopes in brain capillaries and choroid plexus and their absence from brain parenchyma. By polymerase chain reaction (PCR) we estimated 1.2 x 10(5) molecules (1 pg) of gp330/megalin mRNA/microg total brain capillary RNA, which is 3% of that in kidney RNA. However, gp330 mRNA was not detected by in situ hybridization in vascular CNS tissue, presumably because of low transcript prevalence. The ratio of gp330 protein:RNA was 17-fold higher in choroid plexus vs brain capillaries, which implies tissue specific regulation of the protein and mRNA prevalence. We conclude that gp330/megalin mRNA and protein are expressed in brain capillaries and choroid plexus in small amounts that are consistent with the observed activities of this endocytosing receptor in the regulation of apoJ and Abeta uptake by the CNS.

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.
