The prefibrillar form of soluble amyloid-beta (sA beta(1-42)) impairs synaptic function and is associated with the early phase of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated how sA beta(1-42) led to presynaptic defects using a quantum dot-based, single particle-tracking method to monitor synaptic vesicle (SV) trafficking along axons. We found that sA beta(1-42) prevented new synapse formation induced by chemical long-term potentiation (cLTP). In cultured rat hippocampal neurons, nanomolar amounts of sA beta(1-42) impaired Ca2+ clearance from presynaptic terminals and increased the basal Ca2+ concentration. This caused an increase in the phosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) and its substrate synapsin, which markedly inhibited SV trafficking along axons between synapses. Neurons derived from a transgenic ADmousemodel had similar defects, whichwere prevented by an inhibitor of CaMK kinase (CaMKK; which activates CaMKIV), by antibodies against A beta(1-42), or by expression a phosphodeficient synapsin mutant. The CaMKK inhibitor also abolished the defects in activity-dependent synaptogenesis caused by sA beta(1-42). Our results suggest that by disrupting SV reallocation between synapses, sA beta(1-42) prevents neurons from forming new synapses or adjusting strength and activity among neighboring synapses. Targeting this mechanism might prevent synaptic dysfunction in AD patients.
