Monoclonal 2C3 specific to beta-amyloid (Ab) oligomers (A beta Os) enabled us to test our hypothesis that the alteration of lipoprotein-A beta interaction in the central nervous system (CNS) initiates and/or accelerates the cascade favoring A beta assembly. Immunoprecipitation of frontal cortex employing 2C3 unequivocally detected soluble 4-, 8-, and 12-mers in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Immunoblot analysis of the entorhinal cortex employing 2C3 revealed that the accumulation of soluble 12-mers precedes the appearance of neuronal loss or cognitive impairment and is enhanced as the Braak neurofibrially tangle (NFT) stages progress. The dissociation of soluble A beta from lipoprotein particles occurs in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the presence of lipoprotein-free oligomeric 2C3 conformers (4- to 35-mers) was evident, which mimic CNS environments. Such CNS environments may strongly affect conformation of soluble A beta peptides, resulting in the conversion of soluble A beta(42) monomers into soluble A beta(42) assembly. The findings suggest that functionally declined lipoproteins may accelerate the generation of metabolic conditions leading to higher levels of soluble A beta(42) assembly in the CNS.
