APOE traffics to astrocyte lipid droplets and modulates triglyceride saturation and droplet size

2023-04-29

Abstract excerpt

The E4 variant of APOE strongly predisposes individuals to late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. We demonstrate that in response to neutral lipid synthesis, apolipoprotein E (APOE) in astrocytes can avoid translocation into the ER lumen and traffic to lipid droplets (LDs) via membrane bridges at ER-LD contacts. APOE knockdown promotes fewer, larger LDs containing more unsaturated triglyceride. This LD size distributi...
