beta-Amyloid peptide vaccination results in marked changes in serum and brain Abeta levels in APPswe/PS1DeltaE9 mice, as detected by SELDI-TOF-based ProteinChip technology
Abstract
Although the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not fully understood, growing evidence indicates that the deposition of beta-amyloid (Abeta) and the local reactions of various cell types to this protein play major roles in the development of the disease. Immunization with the Abeta 1-42 peptide has been reported to decrease Abeta deposits in the brains of mutant amyloid precursor protein (APP/V717F) transgenic (tg) mice (Schenk et al. Immunization with amyloid-beta attenuates Alzheimer-disease-like pathology in the PDAPP mouse. Nature 1999;400:173-177). We have replicated this finding in APPswe/PS1DeltaE9 tg mice, which also develop Abeta deposits in the brain. The immunized animals developed high titers of antibodies against Abeta 1-42 in serum, and Abeta deposits in the brains were significantly reduced. Using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) mass spectrometry and ProteinChip((R)) technology, we detected trends toward increased soluble Abeta peptide in the brain and a decrease in assayable Abeta peptide in the serum of immunized compared with control animals. This last finding raises the possibility that anti-Abeta antibodies in the periphery sequester Abeta peptides or target them for degradation and in this way contribute to the enhanced Abeta clearance from the brain in immunized animals.
