Abstract:apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele (APOE4) is one of the major risk factors for Alzheimer's disease,but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our data show that: 1) application of apoE4 in extracellular solution suppresses the delayed rectifier potassium current (synonym: IK) by 18.9± 2.8 % and 18.1 ± 3.6 % (n=10, P<0.01), at +30 mV and +60 mV of membrane potential. The effect is reversible and shows no voltage-dependency; 2) extracellular application of apoE4 does not show any obvious effect on A-type fast transient potassium current (synonym: IA); 3) application of apoE4 in the intracellular solution suppresses both IA and IK. In case of IK, the reduction rate is 56.2 ± 7.6 % and 58.7 ± 7.4 % (n=10, P<0.01) at +30 mV and +60 mV of membrane potential, respectively; in case of IA, the reductive rate is 58.6 ± 9.7 % and 65.3 ± 8.6 % (n=10, P<0.01) at +30 mV and +60 mV, respectively; 4) the effects of intracellular apoE4 on both IA and IK show obvious voltage-dependent; and 5) in the contrast, application of apoA and apoE3 exhibits no effects on IK or IA. The results indicate that apoE4 molecules could suppress the potassium currents from neurons on both the inner and outer side of neuronal membrane, which support the propulsions that apoE4 expressed by neurons might be responsible for neuronal damages related to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. | |||
