Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a member of a lipase family known to hydrolyze triglyceride molecules in plasma lipoprotein particles. LPL also plays a role in the binding of lipoprotein particles to cell-surface molecules, including sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). LPL is predominantly expressed in adipose and muscle but is also highly expressed in the brain where its specific roles are unknown. It has been shown that LPL is colocalized with senile plaques in Alzheimer disease (AD) brains, and its mutations are associated with the severity of AD pathophysiological features. In this study, we identified a novel function of LPL; that is, LPL binds to amyloid beta protein (A beta) and promotes cell-surface association and uptake of A beta in mouse primary astrocytes. The internalized A beta was degraded within 12 h, mainly in a lysosomal pathway. We also found that sulfated GAGs were involved in the LPL-mediated cellular uptake of A beta. Apolipoprotein E was dispensable in the LPL-mediated uptake of A beta. Our findings indicate that LPL is a novel A beta-binding protein promoting cellular uptake and subsequent degradation of A beta.
