Interaction of Nascent ApoE2, ApoE3, and ApoE4 Isoforms Expressed in Mammalian Cells with Amyloid Peptide β (1−40). Relevance to Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract

Population studies have established that one of the common isoforms of apolipoprotein E, the apoE4, is associated with higher incidence and earlier age of onset of late onset familial Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas apoE2 may have the opposite effect. The apoE3 and apoE4 isoforms were shown to display different binding reactivities with amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) and tau protein in vitro. On the basis of these findings, it has been proposed that the apoE isoforms may modulate positively or negatively the formation of either the neurofibrillary tangles or the amyloid deposits in the brain of patients with AD. To study the interaction of Abeta with nascent apoE isoforms we have expressed their cDNAs in baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells using the Semliki Forest Virus expression system. Analysis of the secreted apoE by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting showed that the nascent apoE is heavily modified with carbohydrate chains containing sialic acid. A dimeric form of apoE is formed with apoE2 and apoE3 but not with apoE4 isoforms. Analysis of the interaction of nascent apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4 produced by BHK-21 cells with Abeta (1-40) under physiological conditions (pH 7.4, 37 degrees C) showed that the efficiency of the apoE monomer-Abeta complex formation follows the order apoE2 > apoE3 >> apoE4. In addition, the apoE2 dimer formed a complex with Abeta more efficiently than the apoE3 dimer. The isoform-specific differences in binding were tempe…

  • Several in vitro studies have demonstrated that lipidated apoE2 and apoE3 bind Aβ with greater affinity compared to apoE4.

    “Several in vitro studies have demonstrated that lipidated apoE2 and apoE3 bind Aβ with greater affinity compared to apoE4 (39, 51-54).”
  • Aβ42 uptake is likely facilitated by APOE-bound Aβ42 clearance, with complex formation being genotype dependent (E2 > E3 > E4).

    “which is likely facilitated by APOE-bound Aβ42 clearance; a complex formation that is genotype dependent (E2 > E3 > E4) (Aleshkov et al., 1997).”
  • Subsequent studies reported that lipid-associated apoE2 and apoE3 formed SDS-stable complexes with Aβ to a much greater extent than apoE4.

    “However, subsequent studies reported that lipid-associated apoE2 and apoE3 formed SDS-stable complexes with Aβ to a much greater extent than apoE4 (Aleshkov et al., 1997; LaDu et al., 1994; Yang et al., 1997).”

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.
