The deposition of amyloid fibrils as plaques is a key feature of several
neurodegenerative diseases including in particular Alzheimer's. This disease is
characterized, if not provoked, by amyloid aggregates formed from A? peptide that
deposit inside the brain or are toxic to neuronal cells. We here used scanning
transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to determine the fibril network structure
and interactions of A? fibrils within a cell culture model of Alzheimer's
disease. STEM images taken from the formed A? amyloid deposits revealed three
main types of fibril network structures, termed amorphous meshwork, fibril bundle
and amyloid star. All three were infiltrated by different types of lipid
inclusions from small-sized exosome-like structures (50-100?nm diameter) to
large-sized extracellular vesicles (up to 300?nm). The fibrils also presented
strong interactions with the surrounding cells such that fibril bundles extended
into tubular invaginations of the plasma membrane. Amyloid formation in the cell
model was previously found to have an intracellular origin and we show here that
it functionally destroys the integrity of the intracellular membranes as it leads
to lysosomal leakage. These data provide a mechanistic link to explain why
intracellular fibril formation is toxic to the cell.
