The 39- to 43-amino acid amyloid beta-protein (A beta) is deposited as amyloid in Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies have suggested that short A beta (A beta(39) or A beta(40)) and long A beta (A beta(42) or A beta(43)) play different roles in Alzheimer-type pathology. However, little attempt has been made to investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying the generation of short and long A beta individually. In the present report, we first measured the amount of short and long A beta that are secreted from wild-type human and rodent cells with neuron- or glia-like properties using highly sensitive sandwich-ELISAs that discriminate long A beta from short A beta. The results showed that long A beta secreted by all cells constitutes approximately 10% of the total A beta. To identify the molecular species of long A beta, we next isolated the A beta species secreted from human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells by affinity chromatography, gel-filtration HPLC, and reverse-phase HPLC. Mass spectrometric analysis demonstrated unequivocally that IMR-32 cells produce A beta(1-42) together with A beta(1-37), A beta(1-38), A beta(1-39), and most predominantly, A beta(1-40). Finally, to investigate the cellular mechanisms that generate A beta(1-42), we studied the effects of brefeldin A and monensin on the production of A beta(1-40) and A beta(1-42) in IMR-32 cells. These reagents reduced the production of bath A beta(1-40) and A beta(1-42) simultaneously in a concentration-dependent manner. These results indicate that processing of wild-type amyloid precursor protein normally generates A beta(1-42) at a ratio of 10% to total A beta and that A beta(1-40) and A beta(1-42) share a common secretory mechanism that involves acidic compartments such as the late Golgi or early endosomes.
