Despite extensive genetic and animal modelling data that support a central role for the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) in the genesis of Alzheimer's disease, the specific form(s) of Aβ which causes injury to neurons in vivo has not been identified. In the present study, we examine the importance of soluble, pre-fibrillar assemblies of Aβ as mediators of neurotoxicity. Specifically, we review the role of cell-derived SDS-stable oligomers, their blocking of hippocampal long-term potentiation in vivo and the finding that this blocking can be prevented by prior treatment of oligomer-producing cells withγ-secretase inhibitors.

Numerous studies have now shown that the amyloid β-protein (Aβ), the principal component of cerebral plaques in Alzheimer disease, rapidly and potently inhibits certain forms of synaptic plasticity. The amyloid (or Aβ) hypothesis proposes that the continuous disruption of normal synaptic physiology by Aβ contributes to the development of Alzheimer disease. However, there is little consensus about how Aβ mediates this inhibition at the molecular level. Using mouse primary hippocampal neurons, we observed that a brief treatment with cell-derived, soluble, human Aβ disrupted the activation of three kinases (Erk/MAPK, CaMKII, and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-activated protein Akt/protein kinase B) that are required for long term potentiation, whereas two other kinases (protein kinase A and protein kinase C) were stimulated normally. An antagonist of the insulin receptor family of tyrosine kinases was found to mimic the pattern of Aβ-mediated kinase inhibition. We then found that soluble Aβ binds to the insulin receptor and interferes with its insulin-induced autophosphorylation. Taken together, these data demonstrate that physiologically relevant levels of naturally secreted Aβ interfere with insulin receptor function in hippocampal neurons and prevent the rapid activation of specific kinases required for long term potentiation.
