A Function for EHD Family Proteins in Unidirectional Retrograde Dendritic Transport of BACE1 and Alzheimer’s Disease Aβ Production
Open accessAbstract
Abnormal accumulation of β-secretase (BACE1) in dystrophic neurites and presynaptic β-amyloid (Aβ) production contribute to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Little, however, is known about BACE1 sorting and dynamic transport in neurons. We investigated BACE1 trafficking in hippocampal neurons using live-cell imaging and selective labeling. We report that transport vesicles containing internalized BACE1 in dendrites undergo exclusive retrograde transport toward the soma, whereas they undergo bidirectional transport in axons. Unidirectional dendritic transport requires Eps15-homology-domain-containing (EHD) 1 and 3 protein function. Furthermore, loss of EHD function compromises dynamic axonal transport and overall BACE1 levels in axons. EHD1/3 colocalize with BACE1 and APP β-C-terminal fragments in hippocampal mossy fiber terminals, and their depletion in neurons significantly attenuates Aβ levels. These results demonstrate unidirectional endocytic transport of a dendritic cargo and reveal a role for EHD proteins in neuronal BACE1 transcytosis and Aβ production, processes that are highly relevant for Alzheimer's disease.

Loss of EHD1 function compromised recycling and axonal sorting of internalized BACE1, thereby reducing Ab production.
“Loss of EHD1 function compromised the recycling and axonal sorting of the internalized BACE1, thereby reducing Ab production (42).”
From BIN1 regulates BACE1 intracellular trafficking and amyloid-β production (2016) · cites this paper as [42]
The Results section reports that impaired EHD1 function reduced axonal sorting of internalized BACE1, and the Introduction reports that loss of EHD1 expression reduced Aβ production in hippocampal neurons. But the Results do not establish compromised BACE1 recycling: internalized BACE1 still reached recycling endosomes, and its steady-state dendritic surface localization was not significantly affected. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAmong known BIN1-binding proteins, EHD family proteins play a role in trafficking of internalized BACE1 in neurons.
“It is noteworthy to mention that among the known BIN1-binding proteins, EHD family proteins play a role in the trafficking of internalized BACE1 in neurons (42).”

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.
