Amyloid deposition is a neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer's
disease. The principal component of amyloid deposits is amyloid peptide (A ), a peptide derived by proteolytic
processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). APP is axonally
transported by the fast anterograde component. Several studies have
indicated that A deposits occur in proximity to neuritic and
synaptic profiles. Taken together, these latter observations have
suggested that APP, axonally transported to nerve terminals, may be
processed to A at those sites. To examine the fate of APP in the
CNS, we injected [35S]methionine into the
rat entorhinal cortex and examined the trafficking and processing of
de novo synthesized APP in the perforant pathway and at
presynaptic sites in the hippocampal formation. We report that both
full-length and processed APP accumulate at presynaptic terminals of
entorhinal neurons. Finally, we demonstrate that at these synaptic
sites, C-terminal fragments of APP containing the entire A domain
accumulate, suggesting that these species may represent the penultimate
precursors of synaptic A .
Key words:
Alzheimer's disease; axonal transport; A ; amyloid
precursor protein; entorhinal cortex; hippocampus
