BRAINS from patients with Alzheimer's disease contain amyloid plaques which are composed of β-amyloid peptide and are considered to play a causal role in the neuropathology of this disease. The origin of β-amyloid peptide in brain parenchyma and vessels of Alzheimer's disease patients is not known. This study examined the permeability of the blood-brain barrier to β-amyloid peptide in rats subjected to single or repeated episodes of global cerebral ischaemia followed by i.v. injections of human synthetic β-amyloid-(1–42)-peptide. Rats receiving β-amyloid peptide after ischaemia demonstrated multifocal and widespread accumulation of β-amyloid peptide in hippocampus, cerebral cortex and occasionally in white matter. β-Amyloid peptide penetration involved arterioles, veins and venules. Neuronal, glial and pericyte bodies were observed filled with β-amyloid peptide. Direct evidence that soluble human β-amyloid-(1–42)-peptide crosses the blood-brain barrier and enters the brain from the circulation is thus provided for the first time.
