Research Abstract

To elucidate the mechanism of the metabolism of amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) oligomers in the brain, we have developed in vivo microdialysis technique using a 1,000 kDa cut-off microdialysis probe. Using this techqnique, we identified that the clearance rate of Abeta in the brain of plaque-bearing APP transgenic mice was significantly slower than that in the brain of plaque-free APP transgenic mice. We also identified that the level of ISF Abeta in the brain of APP / CLAC double transgenic mice was significantly lower than that of APP transgenic mice. These observations suggested that amyloid plaque affect the metabolism of Abeta monomer and oligomers in the brain. We have also developed an easy and high-sensitive method to evaluate the interaction between Abeta and apoE using a plit-luciferase complementation assay.
