Lack of Aβ internalization in fibroblasts endogenously expressing
LRP1. A, immunoblot analysis of TR-BBB, MEF-1 (wild-type), PEA10
(LRP1 heterozygous-deficient), and PEA13 (LRP1 homozygous-deficient) cells
using a polyclonal anti-LRP1 antibody R488. B, Aβ uptake assay
in MEF cells. TR-BBB (filled squares), MEF-1 (open squares),
and PEA13 (open circles) cells were incubated with
125I-Aβ for 0, 10, 30, 60, and 120 min. The mean ± S.E.
in three independent assays is shown. C, the uptake assay of tPA in
TR-BBB (filled squares), MEF-1 (open squares), PEA10
(open triangles), and PEA13 (open circles at 37 °C,
crosses at 4 °C) cells for 0, 10, 30, and 60 min (MEF1, PEA10,
and PEA13 cells) or for 0, 15, 30, and 45 min (TR-BBB cells). The mean
± S.E. in three independent assays is shown.
