Internalization of β-Amyloid Peptide by Primary Neurons in the Absence of Apolipoprotein E
Open accessAbstract
Extracellular accumulation of beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) has been linked to the development of Alzheimer disease. The importance of intraneuronal Abeta has been recognized more recently. Although considerable evidence indicates that extracellular Abeta contributes to the intracellular pool of Abeta, the mechanisms involved in Abeta uptake by neurons are poorly understood. We examined the molecular mechanisms involved in Abeta-(1-42) internalization by primary neurons in the absence of apolipoprotein E. We demonstrated that Abeta-(1-42) is more efficiently internalized by axons than by cell bodies of sympathetic neurons, suggesting that Abeta-(1-42) uptake might be mediated by proteins enriched in the axons. Although the acetylcholine receptor alpha7nAChR, previously suggested to be involved in Abeta internalization, is enriched in axons, our results indicate that it does not mediate Abeta-(1-42) internalization. Moreover, receptors of the low density lipoprotein receptor family are not essential for Abeta-(1-42) uptake in the absence of apolipoprotein E because receptor-associated protein had no effect on Abeta uptake. By expressing the inactive dynamin mutant dynK44A and the clathrin hub we found that Abeta-(1-42) internalization is independent of clathrin but dependent on dynamin, which suggests an endocytic pathway involving caveolae/lipid rafts. Confocal microscopy studies showing that Abeta did not co-localize with the early endosome marker EEA1 further support a clathrin-independent mechanism. The lack of co-localization of Abeta with caveolin in intracellular vesicles and the normal uptake of Abeta by neurons that do not express caveolin indicate that Abeta does not require caveolin either. Instead partial co-localization of Abeta-(1-42) with cholera toxin subunit B and sensitivity to reduction of cellular cholesterol and sphingolipid levels suggest a caveolae-independent, raft-mediated mechanism. Understanding the molecular events involved in neuronal Abeta internalization might identify potential therapeutic targets for Alzheimer disease.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In primary neurons and in the absence of apolipoprotein E, β-amyloid peptide Aβ-(1-42) is internalized preferentially through distal axons and retrogradely transported to cell bodies. Uptake requires dynamin and cellular cholesterol/sphingolipids but is independent of clathrin, caveolin, α7nAChR, and LDL receptor family members, suggesting a caveolae-independent, raft-mediated endocytic pathway.
Key findings
- Aβ-(1-42) was internalized more efficiently by axons than by cell bodies; when added to distal axons, it was retrogradely transported to cell bodies, whereas anterograde transport from cell bodies was almost negligible.
- α7nAChR did not mediate uptake: 5 μM Aβ-(1-42) did not significantly compete with ¹²⁵I-α-bungarotoxin binding, and 10 μM α-bungarotoxin did not decrease fluo-Aβ-(1-42) internalization.
- LDL receptor family members were not required in the absence of apoE: 1 μM receptor-associated protein (RAP) did not inhibit Aβ uptake, although it dramatically decreased DiI-LDL internalization.
- Aβ uptake was dynamin-dependent but clathrin-independent: dynamin K44A reduced internalization/transport, whereas clathrin hub overexpression did not significantly affect Aβ uptake but blocked LDL internalization.
- Internalized Aβ did not co-localize with EEA1 or caveolin; caveolin-1 knockout neurons internalized Aβ as effectively as controls. Aβ partially co-localized with cholera toxin subunit B, and combined fumonisin B1 plus pravastatin reduced Aβ internalization by ~51%.
Methods
- Primary rat sympathetic neurons were cultured in three-compartment dishes to separate distal axons from cell bodies/proximal axons; rat basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and sympathetic neurons from caveolin-1 knockout and control mice were also used.
- Aβ-(1-42) preparations contained monomers and oligomers but no fibrils; internalization was assessed by fluorescence/confocal microscopy, biotinylated Aβ cleavage assays, ELISA, immunoblotting, and radioligand binding.
- Mechanistic tests used adenoviral expression of wild-type dynamin, dynamin K44A, and clathrin hub; RAP and α-bungarotoxin; and fumonisin B1 and pravastatin to reduce sphingolipid and cholesterol levels.
Limitations
- The paper states that the compartmentalized system does not permit exclusive study of dendrite uptake because the center compartment also contains cell bodies and proximal axons.
- The paper states that Aβ mass could not be quantified when Aβ was provided to cell bodies because surface-associated Aβ interfered with the determination.
- Evident from the text: findings are from cultured primary neurons under serum-free, apoE/lipoprotein-absent conditions, so relevance to in vivo Aβ uptake and apoE-containing environments is not directly established; several experiments were repeated only two or three times.

In “RAP Blocks Aβ-induced Activation and Changes in apoE but Not apoJ” (page unavailable), the paper says a high RAP concentration was chosen to inhibit LRP and LDLR, the two primary LDLR-family members expressed by the astrocytes studied. It does not establish that this concentration inhibits ligand interactions with all LDLR-family members. The uptake-and-transport result is attributed to the citing paper’s own Fig. 2D, not to this source. (LLM, conf=0.85)

In the section on ets-2 expression in DS and AD brains (page not available), the paper reports intracellular Aβ in neurons from Down syndrome/Alzheimer’s disease brains and separately associates ets-2 expression with the apoptosis marker bax. Figure 7 shows Aβ42 and ets-2 in one neuron, and bax and ets-2 in another; it does not establish that the Aβ42-accumulating neurons were themselves apoptotic. (LLM, conf=0.86)

In the citing paper

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
