- W2000696816 abstract "The inheritance of specific apolipoprotein E allelles has been linked to atherosclerosis, Alzheimer disease, and, most recently, to the incidence of age-related macular degeneration. Apolipoprotein E is a common component of the extracellular plaques and deposits characteristic of these disorders, including drusen, which are a hallmark of age-related macular degeneration. Accordingly, we assessed the potential biosynthetic contribution of local ocular cell types to the apolipoprotein E found in drusen.We measured apolipoprotein E mRNA levels in human donor tissues using a quantitative assay of apolipoprotein E transcription, and we localized apolipoprotein E protein to specific cell types and compartments in the neural retina, retinal pigmented epithelium, and choroid using laser scanning confocal immunofluorescence microscopy.Apolipoprotein E immunoreactivity is associated with photoreceptor outer segments, the retinal ganglion cell layer, the retinal pigmented epithelium basal cytoplasm and basal lamina, and with both collagenous layers of Bruch membrane. Apolipoprotein E appears to be a ubiquitous component of drusen, irrespective of clinical phenotype. It also accumulates in the cytoplasm of a subpopulation of retinal pigmented epithelial cells, many of which overlie or flank drusen. Mean levels of apolipoprotein E mRNA in the adult human retina are 45% and 150% of the levels measured in liver and adult brain, the two most abundant biosynthetic sources of apolipoprotein E. Apolipoprotein E mRNA levels are highest in the inner retina, and lowest in the outer retina where photoreceptors predominate. Significant levels of apolipoprotein E mRNA are also present in the retinal pigmented epithelium/choroid complex and in cultured human retinal pigmented epithelial cells.Apolipoprotein E protein is strategically located at the same anatomic locus where drusen are situated, and the retinal pigmented epithelium is the most likely local biosynthetic source of apolipoprotein E at that location. Age-related alteration of lipoprotein biosynthesis and/or processing at the level of the retinal pigmented epithelium and/or Bruch membrane may be a significant contributing factor in drusen formation and age-related macular degeneration pathogenesis." @default.
