Soluble A beta oligomers contribute importantly to synaptotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease, but their dynamics in vivo remain unclear. Here, we found that soluble A beta oligomers were sequestered from brain interstitial fluid onto brain membranes much more rapidly than nontoxic monomers and were recovered in part as bound to GM1 ganglioside on membranes. Ab oligomers bound strongly to GM1 ganglioside, and blocking the sialic acid residue on GM1 decreased oligomer-mediated LTP impairment in mouse hippocampal slices. In a hAPP transgenic mouse model, substantial levels of GM1-bound A beta(42) were recovered from brain membrane fractions. We also detected GM1-bound Ab in human CSF, and its levels correlated with A beta(42), suggesting its potential as a biomarker of A beta-related membrane dysfunction. Together, these findings highlight a mechanism whereby hydrophobic A beta oligomers become sequestered onto GM1 ganglioside and presumably other lipids on neuronal membranes, where they may induce progressive functional and structural changes.
