The peptide KLVFF-K6 was observed by Lowe et al. to simultaneously enhance amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) fibrillogenesis and decrease cellular toxicity, as measured in a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assay. It was postulated that accelerated Abeta aggregation and precipitation induced by KLVFF-K6 may lead to an increase in less toxic insoluble fibrils at the expense of more toxic soluble protofibrils. In a previous study, we distinguished between two modes of protofibril growth: elongation by monomer deposition and direct protofibril-protofibril association. These growth mechanisms could be resolved by varying Abeta monomer and NaCl concentrations. Using assays designed to isolate these distinct modes of protofibril growth, we report here that larger Abeta aggregates formed in the presence of KLVFF-K6 resulted from enhanced protofibril association. 3H-Radiomethylated KLVFF-K6 bound to associated protofibrils with an apparent Kd of 180 nM, and concentrations of free [3H]KLVFF-K6 in this range were sufficient to convert soluble protofibrils to sedimentable fibrils. However, promotion of Abeta protofibril association by KLVFF-K6 had no effect on Abeta-induced decreases in cellular MTT reduction. Therefore, our data do not support the proposal that insoluble fibrils formed with KLVFF-K6 are less toxic than soluble protofibrils. KLVFF-K6 did not alter rates of protofibril elongation by monomer deposition. In contrast, when added to Abeta monomers isolated with the use of size-exclusion chromatography, KLVFF-K6 inhibited fibrillogenesis, as measured by thioflavin T fluorescence, and this inhibition was paralleled by a failure to alter cellular MTT reduction.
