Novel Large Apolipoprotein E‐Containing Lipoproteins of Density 1.006–1.060 g/ml in Human Cerebrospinal Fluid

Abstract: Abstract:Although the critical role of apolipoprotein F (apoE) allelic variation in Alzheimer's disease and in the outcome of CNS injury is now recognized, the functions of apoE in the CNS remain obscure, particularly with regard to lipid metabolism. We used density gradient ultracentrifugation to identify apoE-containing lipoproteins in human CSF. CSF apoE lipoproteins, previously identified only in the 1.063-1.21 g/ml density range, were also demonstrated in the 1.006-1.060 g/ml density range. Plasma lipopro… Show more

“…It is expressed in virtually all cells and tissues at variable levels, which our findings in TaqCell plates confirm. The LDL-r is widely expressed in brain and, as apoB100 and LDL are absent from cerebrospinal fluid [31], it appears that their role in lipid transport and cholesterol homeostasis is fulfilled by apoE [17,31].…”

“…The distribution of lipoprotein classes and their composition differ markedly between sera and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Moreover, the effects of the APOE genotype on the distribution and metabolism of CSF lipoprotein classes are not completely characterized (27)(28)(29)(30). Therefore, to extend our findings to apoptosis in neurons, lipoproteins from the CSF need to be examined.…”

“…43 Apolipoproteins and their receptors appear to play an important role in the metabolism of cholesterol in the brain and in the outcome of neuronal injury. 44,45 In addition to facilitating the absorption of the intrinsic factor-vitamin B 12 complex, cubilin is a high-affinity apolipoprotein A-I receptor that facilitates the endocytosis of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) holoparticles and their subsequent transport to endosomes/lysosomes where they are digested. 46,47 This endocytic process resembles that for low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and appears to involve the participation of the co-receptor megalin, a member of the LDL receptor family.…”
