摘要

Accumulation of aggregated amyloid-?? protein (A??) is an important feature of Alzheimer's disease. There is significant interest in understanding the initial steps of A?? aggregation due to the recent focus on soluble A?? oligomers. In vitro studies of A?? aggregation have been aided by the use of conformation-specific antibodies which recognize shape rather than sequence. One of these, OC antiserum, recognizes certain elements of fibrillar A?? across a broad range of sizes. We have observed the presence of these fibrillar elements at very early stages of A?? incubation. Using a dot blot assay, OC-reactivity was found in size exclusion chromatography (SEC)-purified A??(1-42) monomer fractions immediately after isolation (early-stage). The OC-reactivity was not initially observed in the same fractions for A??(1-40) or the aggregation-restricted A??(1-42) L34P but was detected within 1-2 weeks of incubation. Stability studies demonstrated that early-stage OC-positive A??(1-42) aggregates were resistant to 4 M urea or guanidine hydrochloride but sensitive to 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Interestingly, the sensitivity to SDS diminished over time upon incubation of the SEC-purified A??(1-42) solution at 4 C. Within 6-8 days the OC-positive A??42 aggregates were resistant to SDS denaturation. The progression to, and development of, SDS resistance for A??(1-42) occurred prior to thioflavin T fluorescence. In contrast, A??(1-40) aggregates formed after 6 days of incubation were sensitive to both urea and SDS. These findings reveal information on some of the earliest events in A?? aggregation and suggest that it may be possible to target early-stage aggregates before they develop significant stability. ? 2012 Elsevier B.V.
