Alzheimer disease (AD), the most frequent
cause of dementia, is characterized by an important neuronal loss. A
typical histological hallmark of AD is the extracellular deposition of
-amyloid peptide (A ), which is produced by the cleavage of the
amyloid precursor protein (APP). Most of the gene mutations that
segregate with the inherited forms of AD result in increasing the ratio
of A 42/A 40 production. A 42 also accumulates in neurons of AD
patients. Altogether, these data strongly suggest that the neuronal
production of A 42 is a critical event in AD, but the intraneuronal
A 42 toxicity has never been demonstrated. Here, we report that the
long term expression of human APP in rat cortical neurons induces
apoptosis. Although APP processing leads to production of extracellular
A 1-40 and soluble APP, these extracellular derivatives do not
induce neuronal death. On the contrary, neurons undergo apoptosis as soon as they accumulate intracellular A 1-42 following the
expression of full-length APP or a C-terminal deleted APP isoform. The
inhibition of intraneuronal A 1-42 production by a functional
-secretase inhibitor increases neuronal survival. Therefore, the
accumulation of intraneuronal A 1-42 is the key event in the
neurodegenerative process that we observed.
