ABSTRACT
PICALM is a highly validated genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We found that reduced expression of PICALM in AD and murine brain endothelium correlated with amyloid-ß (Aß) pathology and cognitive impairment. Moreover, Picalm deficiency diminished Aß clearance across the murine blood-brain barrier (BBB) and accelerated Aß pathology in a manner that was reversible by endothelial PICALM re-expression. Using human brain endothelial monolayers, we found that PICALM regulated PICALM/clathrin-dependent internalization of Aß bound to the low density lipoprotein receptor related protein-1, a key Aß clearance receptor, and guided Aß trafficking to Rab5 and Rab11, leading to Aß endothelial transcytosis and clearance. PICALM levels and Aß clearance were reduced in AD-derived endothelial monolayers, which was reversible by adenoviral-mediated PICALM transfer. Inducible pluripotent stem cell-derived human endothelial cells carrying the rs3851179 protective allele exhibited higher PICALM levels and enhanced Aß clearance. Thus, PICALM regulates Aß BBB transcytosis and clearance, which has implications for Aß brain homeostasis and clearance therapy.
