Abstract
The deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) in blood vessels of the brain, known as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), is observed in most patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Compared with the pathology of CAA in humans, the pathology in most mouse models of AD is not as evident, making it difficult to examine the contribution of CAA to the pathogenesis of AD. On the basis of biochemical analyses that showed blood levels of soluble amyloid precursor protein (APP) in rats and mice were markedly lower than those measured in human samples, we hypothesized that endothelial APP expression would be markedly lower in rodents and subsequently generated mice that specifically express human WT APP (APP770) in endothelial cells (ECs). The resulting EC-APP770+ mice exhibited increased levels of serum Aβ and soluble APP, indicating that endothelial APP makes a critical contribution to blood Aβ levels. Even though aged EC-APP770+ mice did not exhibit Aβ deposition in the cortical blood vessels, crossing these animals with APP knock-in mice (AppNL-F/NL-F) led to an expanded CAA pathology, as evidenced by increased amounts of amyloid accumulated in the cortical blood vessels. These results highlight an overlooked interplay between neuronal and endothelial APP in brain vascular Aβ deposition. We propose that these EC-APP770+:AppNL-F/NL-F mice may be useful to study the basic molecular mechanisms behind the possible breakdown of the blood–brain barrier upon administration of anti-Aβ antibodies.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in humans and the leading cause of dementia. The pathology of AD is characterized by the deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) peptide in the brain parenchyma and blood vessels. Aβ is generated by the two-step proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP), β-site APP cleaving enzyme-1 (1Yan R. Vassar R. Targeting the β secretase BACE1 for Alzheimer's disease therapy.Lancet Neurol. 2014; 13: 319-329Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (442) Google Scholar), and γ-secretase (2Wertkin A.M. Turner R.S. Pleasure S.J. Golde T.E. Younkin S.G. Trojanowski J.Q. Lee V.M.

A. 1993; 90: 9513-9517Crossref PubMed Scopus (195) Google Scholar), the last of which is composed of four transmembrane proteins (presenilin, nicastrin, Pen2, and Aph1). When APP is alternatively cleaved at the α-site within the Aβ sequence, subsequent γ-secretase cleavage cannot produce neurotoxic Aβ peptide. Alternative mRNA splicing generates three major APP isoforms, APP695, APP751, and APP770, each of which exhibits cell-specific expression. Neurons express APP695 (2Wertkin A.M. Turner R.S.

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is defined as the deposition of Aβ on the vascular walls of the meninges and brain, giving rise to intracerebral hemorrhage and cognitive impairment in the elderly (7Charidimou A. Gang Q. Werring D.J. Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy revisited: Recent insights into pathophysiology and clinical spectrum.J. Neurol. Neurosurg. Psychiatry. 2012; 83: 124-137Crossref PubMed Scopus (376) Google Scholar). However, epidemiological and clinicopathological data alone do not fully describe the pathological association between CAA and AD. Impaired clearance and/or overproduction of Aβ lead to its accumulation in the brains of patients with AD (8Mawuenyega K.G. Sigurdson W. Ovod V. Munsell L. Kasten T. Morris J.C. Yarasheski K.E. Bateman R.J. Decreased clearance of CNS beta-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease.Science. 2010; 330: 1774Crossref PubMed Scopus (1427) Google Scholar). Most neuronal Aβ is transported across the blood–brain barrier into the blood (9Tarasoff-Conway J.M. Carare R.O. Osorio R.S. Glodzik L. Butler T. Fieremans E. Axel L. Rusinek H. Nicholson C. Zlokovic B.V. Frangione B. Blennow K. Menard J. Zetterberg H. Wisniewski T. et al.Clearance systems in the brain-implications for Alzheimer disease.Nat. Rev. Neurol. 2015; 11: 457-470Crossref PubMed Scopus (750) Google Scholar), and as such, the blood Aβ can derive from a mixture of APP sources including from neurons, smooth muscle cells, ECs, and pericytes, all of which can contribute to vascular Aβ deposition (10Burgermeister P. Calhoun M.E. Winkler D.T. Jucker M. Mechanisms of cerebrovascular amyloid deposition. Lessons from mouse models.Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 2000; 903: 307-316Crossref PubMed Scopus (56) Google Scholar). Accumulating evidence shows that several anti-Aβ immunotherapies reduce the amyloid burden in brain parenchyma, while augmenting that of vascular Aβ accumulation (11Nicoll J.A. Wilkinson D. Holmes C. Steart P. Markham H. Weller R.O. Neuropathology of human Alzheimer disease after immunization with amyloid-beta peptide: A case report.Nat.

Cerebral hemorrhage after passive anti-Abeta immunotherapy.Science. 2002; 298: 1379Crossref PubMed Scopus (451) Google Scholar), indicating that Aβ accumulation in the brain parenchyma and vessels is regulated in different ways. A major therapeutic concern with some anti-Aβ antibodies is the possible breakdown of the blood–brain barrier associated with brain edema and cerebral microhemorrhages, which are observed under magnetic resonance imaging as amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIAs) (13Sperling R. Salloway S. Brooks D.J. Tampieri D. Barakos J. Fox N.C. Raskind M. Sabbagh M. Honig L.S. Porsteinsson A.P. Lieberburg I. Arrighi H.M. Morris K.A. Lu Y.

It is thus important to clarify how brain Aβ accumulates in the vascular walls. Unfortunately, most AD model mice with parenchymal Aβ deposition exhibit only moderate Aβ deposition in the brain blood vessels (14Sasaguri H. Nilsson P. Hashimoto S. Nagata K. Saito T.
