Abstracts PLENARY SESSION Molecular Genetics of Alzheimer-type Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing in Neural and Alzheimer’s Disease-Fibroblast-Neural Hybrid Cultures Roger N. Rosenberg and Fred Baskin, Dallas, T X Extracellular amyloidic deposits of an A4 peptide, seen early in specific areas of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain, are presumably derived from abnormal degradation products of the transmembrane protein, APP. The 115 kd APP product normally released into CSF or cell culture media is not amyloidogenic as it does not contain thc entire A4 peptide region. We have used clonal neuronal and AD-fibroblastneural hybrid cultures to examine the induction of APP mRNAs and the effect of prior membrane or structural protein damage on the release of abnormal A4-containing APP products. We have shown that interleukin-IA, 7 s NGF, and phorbol esters increase APP 7511770 mRNAs in PC-12 cultures. Western immunochemical analyses with several APP peptide-specific antisera indicate the decreased release of the normal 115 kd APP and the increased release of abnormal A4 containing 60 and 42 kd APP products from cultures grown with 0.003% SDS and other membrane-damaging agents. Growth with microtubule or microfilament disruptive agents reduces the release of the 115 kd APP product, but does not cause the release of A4-containing peptides. Preliminary microsequencing of the A4-containing immunoprecipitated 60 kd product reveals an N-terminus corresponding to amino acids 380-384 of APP. These data provide the first evidence for the extracellular release of a soluble potentially amyloidogenic form of APP and support the importance of prior neuronal membrane damage to amyloidogenesis in AD.

9:lO Plasticity of Neuronal Organization During -9:50 CNS Development Dennis O’Leaq, St Louis, MO

A more precise definition of the neuropathological and neurochemical changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been achieved in the last decade. Synaptic connections have been less well studied, owing to the difficulty of obtaining appropriate tissue samples that allow accurate ultrastructural assessment of cortical morphology. We quantitatively assessed synapse number and synapse size in lamina I11 and V of human frontal (area 9 ) and middle and superior temporal (areas 21 and 22) cortex obtained at autopsy from patients with A D and age-matched control subjects. Significant decreases in synapse number per unit volume were found in all three areas. Mean synaptic apposition length was increased in AD and correlated significantly with degree of synapse loss. This appeared to be a compensatory response, rather than a selective loss of small synapses. In lamina V of area 9, the total amount of synaptic contact area per unit volume of cortex did not decline, despite a 27% loss of synapses. In lamina I11 of area 7, total synaptic contact area was significantly reduced only lls,despite a 42% loss of synapses. In area 22, lamina 111 had a 3196 decline in synapse number and a significant 8% decline in synaptic contact area; lamina V had a 27% loss of synapses but no change in total synaptic
