The mechanism of transmission of amyloid protein, especially the dynamics in the intestine, is still largely unknown. In the present study, a fusion protein (Abeta-EGFP) that combined enhanced green fluorescent protein with amyloid-beta protein (Abeta) was orally administered to mice before and after weaning, and the uptake and kinetics of amyloid protein within the intestine were elucidated through histopathology. Abeta-EGFP was incorporated into the cytoplasm of columnar epithelial cells, rather than M cells, at 3 h after administration and thereafter. Abeta-EGFP then accumulated in the crypt, Peyer's patch, and even the spleen. However, this uptake was not observed in weaned mice. These results suggest that a specific tolerant mechanism for incorporation of Abeta escaped from the digestion exists during suckling periods. This age-dependent uptake is important for estimating the risk of transmission.
