Age-related plaque morphology and C-terminal heterogeneity of amyloid beta in Dutch-type hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis.

Abstract:

:The evolvement of amyloid beta (Abeta) deposition in the frontal cerebral cortex of 24 patients of increasing age with Dutch-type hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis (HCHWA-D) was studied using end-specific monoclonal antibodies to Abetax-42 (Abeta42) or Abetax-40 (Abeta40) and markers for degenerating neurites. Abeta42 immunostaining revealed parenchymal Abeta deposits with a heterogeneous morphology and distribution, i.e., clouds, fine/dense diffuse, coarse, and homogeneous plaques. Clouds and diffuse plaques were associated with glial Abeta granules. Abeta40 labeling was absent in clouds/fine diffuse plaques, inconsistent and variably intense in dense diffuse/coarse plaques and consistent in homogeneous plaques. In a subset of Abeta40-positive plaques, degenerating neurites--without tauopathy--and/or amyloid cores were observed. Electron microscopy revealed no apparent amyloid fibrils in fine diffuse plaques, small bundles of fibrils in dense diffuse/homogeneous plaques, and amyloid masses in coarse plaques. The parenchymal Abeta pathology was age-related: the ratio of fine to dense diffuse plaques decreased with age, clouds were limited to younger patients; coarse plaques to the oldest old. Homogeneous/cored plaques were present most consistently in older patients. Plaque density did not increase with age. Vascular Abeta deposits stained for both Abeta species, but exclusively Abeta42-positive, presumably recent deposits were also observed. This study suggests that HCHWA-D is a model of plaque evolution in which clouds leave fine diffuse plaques, which may become dense diffuse and ultimately coarse or homogeneous plaques.
