Resumen

We present evidence here that exosomes stimulate aggregation of amyloid beta (Aβ)1-42 invitro and invivo and interfere with uptake of Aβ by primary cultured astrocytes and microglia invitro. Exosome secretion is prevented by the inhibition of neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2), a key regulatory enzyme generating ceramide from sphingomyelin, with GW4869. Using the 5XFAD mouse, we show that intraperitoneal injection of GW4869 reduces the levels of brain and serum exosomes, brain ceramide, and Aβ1-42 plaque load. Reduction of total Aβ1-42 as well as number of plaques in brain sections was significantly greater (40% reduction) in male than female mice. Our results suggest that GW4869 reduces amyloid plaque formation invivo by preventing exosome secretion and identifies nSMase2 as a potential drug target in AD by interfering with exosome secretion.
