Surrounded by a scenic outcropping of the Santa Rosa Mountains in Southern California, The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert enjoys a serene location adjacent to one of the area's most noted golf resorts. Twin monoliths at the entrance of your home resort beckon you to explore the world beyond their stirring presence, where rippling waters accompany warbling birds, walkways are fringed by natural desert elements, and towering palms and wispy firs enhance your view of the azure sky.
Two award-winning championship courses—considered 36 holes of the Coachella Valley's best plays—converge in one legendary golf destination at the Desert Willow Golf Resort. Surrounded by the spectacular Santa Rosa Mountains, you can choose to hazard the challenging terrain and water features of the Firecliff or relish a more relaxing round on the inspiring Mountain View course.
Three refreshing pool areas sprawl around two deck levels like magical oases of palms and springs against the desert mountain landscape, providing a relaxing main pool with pampering cabanas and a soothing whirlpool spa, a high-energy sport pool featuring volleyball and basketball nets, and a fun family pool with partial shade and a winding 159-foot water slide called the Jimmy Jammer.
As a complement to the new Palo Verde Park, The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert opened a refreshing pool area. Now called the Palo Verde Park and Pool, the inviting space is a lush, secluded retreat located along the 16th fairway of the Mountain View Course at Desert Willow. Enjoy the large heated swimming pool and whirlpool spa, poolside basketball, four well-appointed cabanas, covered kiddie pool, and a food and beverage outlet. The pool area is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
For their own half-day vacation adventures, children 4 to 12 delight in locally-inspired activities with enthusiastic Westin Kids Club® counselors, from excursions through the Painted Desert to on-site crafting like poolside pottery painting and tie dye t-shirt creations. And in the evenings, Club PM entertains kids with fun games, activities and food, giving parents an exciting night out together.
Encompassed by elegant emerald greens of Desert Willow golf, the resort gratifies players of other sports, too, with lighted tennis and basketball courts, water volleyball and even rental bicycles for your use—all beneath Palm Desert's cloudless blue skies—while exercise in the 1,400-square-foot WestinWORKOUT® gym is capped with relaxing, muscle-warming moments in the sauna.
Energizing mornings begin at the Mountain View Marketplace, featuring SuperFoodsRx™ and Starbucks® coffee. Throughout the day, quench your thirst for refreshing beverages and nourishing fare indoors or poolside at the casual Agave Grill & Bar. And for a scenic social gathering of family or friends, grill your own savory meal at one of the four open-air barbecue stations.

Andy McLeod
|Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
|Tel: (904) 256-7498
Andy McLeod begins his seventh season at JU as offensive line coach and his third as recruiting coordinator.
Since coming to JU, he has developed the offensive lines that paved the way for three of the school's all-time rushing leaders. McLeod's offensive line opened holes for the third 1,000-yard rushing season in JU history in 2008 as well as the most prolific offense in the program's history.
As the offensive coordinator from 2003-06, McLeod directed the JU offense to several school records. In 2006, running back Jerry Brant set the school record for rushing yards and became just the third player in school history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season.
He was crucial in the development of quarterback Chris Horton - who eventually broke the school record for career yards in 2008. In his role as recruiting coordinator, McLeod has directed the Dolphins efforts in bringing in some of the most talented classes in the program's history – which has directly led to JU's rise to the top of the Pioneer Football League.
McLeod came to JU after four seasons at Gannon (Pa.) University, a year at St. Joseph's (Ind.) College and at his alma mater Western Kentucky.
McLeod was a four-year letterwinner at Western Kentucky from 1993-96, racking up 22 wins during his career. The Elkhorn, Neb., native and his wife, Keely, have a son, Brody, and a daughter, Hadley.

Everton boss Moyes targets Leverkusen goalkeeper Giefe
Everton want cover for Tim Howard since it looks like Jan Mucha will probably leave to look for more first team play. Giefe also may be viewed as a possible successor. I don't see us having a big shot in getting him since Bayern are also in the mix.

UCLA Transportation and Metro, Los Angeles County's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, recommend that drivers give themselves plenty of extra time and encourage commuters to consider carpooling, public transit or vanpools to remove as many single-driver vehicles from the road as possible.
"Even people who don't normally take the 405 will likely see congestion," predicted Renée Fortier, the director of UCLA Events and Transportation. Transportation sent out a letter reminding Bruins of the department's carpool matching, bus subsidies and other ideas for coping with the delays.
The Rampture is the latest challenge to drivers' patience posed by the multiyear, $1 billion project to widen the 405 freeway and complete the northbound carpool lane.
At the intersection of one of the nation's busiest streets with one of the nation's busiest freeways, Metro must demolish the on- and off-ramps at Wilshire to add the 405's extra lane. It's also an opportunity to improve the ramps, making them longer and less likely to cause traffic back-ups on Wilshire and the freeway, said Metro spokesman Dave Sotero.
The first two ramps to close will be the entrance ramp from westbound Wilshire to the northbound 405 — a typical UCLA-to-the-Valley route — and the exit ramp from the northbound 405 to westbound Wilshire, which is less likely to affect Bruin drivers. Metro estimates that those two ramps will take 90 days to tear down and rebuild after their scheduled close on June 22.
Metro has yet to determine the schedule for the remaining six ramps, but predicts the completion of all eight ramps — along with the overall 405-widening project — by mid-to-late 2013, Sotero said. Crews will literally be working 24/7 to minimize the disruption, but Sotero repeated County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky's warning that travel times could take twice as long as normal.
Urban Planning Professor Brian Taylor in UCLA's Broadcast Studio, discussing the Rampture and other transportation topics. Rampture conversation begins at 7:46.
A whole field has sprung up to find ways to do more projects like last summer's infamous Carmageddon, said Brian Taylor, a UCLA professor in urban planning and director of the Institute for Transportation Studies. Carmageddon completely closed 10 miles of the 405 for a weekend. In comparison, the Rampture would reduce capacity for more than a year.
"It's like removing a Band-Aid," Taylor said. "You can do it fast or slow, but it's going to hurt either way."
Sotero explained that work on the eight Wilshire ramps would take too long to attempt a complete closure of the freeway, and there's no space to build the new ramps before demolishing the old ones. Quick-drying concrete and other developments can speed up the process, Taylor said, but the eight Wilshire ramps would still takes weeks or months to complete, he noted.
"It would be easier if we could just shut everything down," Taylor said. "Instead, we have to do this while we're still moving 300,000 vehicles through there a day. ... There are going to be incredible delays."
When the first closures begin, the biggest impact for Bruins will be during the afternoon rush hour as cars look for new ways to get from westbound Wilshire onto the north 405, said UCLA's Fortier. Going north to the Sunset Boulevard onramp is the obvious option, but not the only choice: Going south to the Santa Monica Boulevard onramp might work better, she said.
"Trying to adjust the hours of your commute, ridesharing and even trying something counterintuitive like going south to go north are probably the best bets," Fortier said. "We're encouraging people who may not be ridesharing to try it out because it will help to have fewer cars on the road."
UCLA Transportation offers a carpool-matching program to help Bruins find driving buddies. It also subsidizes bus fares with six public transit agencies, runs its own vanpool program and will start a new bicycle program this summer, offering drivers incentives to try biking to work, Fortier said. Metro will also run more buses, Sotero said.
With 20,000-25,000 UCLA commuters going through the Wilshire/Sepulveda intersection daily, the most important thing is for people to be aware of the impending closures, said Dave Karwaski, senior associate director for Transportation. Commute times to and from campus will be unpredictable at the beginning of each closure, he said.
"It will be pretty fluid initially as people adjust their commutes and will probably reach equilibrium after a few weeks," Karwaski said, before joking, "It's a good time to take a vacation."
Later ramp closures could be equally painful, Fortier said, such as the 90-day closure of the 405 south off-ramp to eastbound Wilshire, which will affect morning commuters who live north of UCLA. The closure of the 405 north off-ramp to eastbound Wilshire, the busiest ramp in the intersection in the morning, when it is used by a peak of 1,500 cars an hour, will also cause significant delays, Fortier said.
"The only nice thing about that one is that it's closure is much shorter at only 21 days," she said. The closure of the westbound on-ramp from Wilshire to 405 south is scheduled to be only 14 days, according to Metro.
The reconfigurations should lead to smoother sailing in 2013, Karwaski said.
"Not only will these ramps have more capacity, which means fewer cars queuing on Wilshire," he said, "you're also eliminating two very dangerous weaving situations."
While drivers entering the freeway on two ramps currently have to merge and fight their way toward two off-ramps, the redesign will eliminate this "zipper effect" by moving cars exiting at Wilshire off the freeway before cars entering at Wilshire begin merging in, Metro's Sotero said.
The bottom line, he said, is if you can get where you're going without using Wilshire, "that's a good idea. Finding multiple detour routes and choosing them based on daily conditions will help. But for most people, adding extra time to their commute is going to be what gets them through the area."

Qualifying group stage
The record field of 53 nations are drawn into nine groups of five or six teams. Matches are played on a home-and-away basis between 7 September 2014 and 13 October 2015. The nine group winners, the nine group runners-up and the best third-placed side qualify directly for the final tournament. The eight remaining third-placed teams will contest play-offs to determine the last four qualifiers. For the first time, qualifying takes place under the 'Week of Football' concept, with games played from Thursday to Tuesday.
The four sides with the best UEFA national team coefficient ranking will be seeded with a draw determining the pairing and order of home and away ties. The first legs will be played on 12, 13 and 14 November 2015 and the returns on 15, 16 and 17 November. The teams which score the greater aggregate of goals in each tie qualify for the finals, with away goals and then penalties used to determine the winner in the event of a draw.
Final tournament
France will join 23 qualifiers in the final tournament draw, with the teams drawn into six groups of four teams. The top two and the four best third-placed teams advancing to the round of 16 when it becomes a knockout competition.
Further details, including the criteria for separating teams that finish level on points in a group, or after extra time in a match, can be found in the official competition regulations.
The qualifying round, featuring a record field of 53 nations, is made up of nine groups of five or six teams, who contest home and away fixtures. The nine group winners, the nine group runners-up and the best third-placed side will qualify directly for the final tournament. The eight remaining third-placed teams will contest play-offs to determine the last four qualifiers for the finals.
For the first time, qualifying takes place under the new 'Week of Football' concept, which sees games played from Thursday to Tuesday. Kick-off times will be set mainly at 18.00CET and 20.45CET on Saturdays and Sundays and 20.45CET for Thursdays, Fridays, Mondays and Tuesdays. On double-header matchweeks, teams play on Thursday/Sunday, Friday/Monday or Saturday/Tuesday.

Fabulous despite bugs
Reviewed By:
(Los Alamos, New Mexico)
Ok, so I'm not that great at keeping bugs down on my houseplant collection. But the pomegranite has tripled in size despite a moderate case of mealybugs! It went from 6" tall and 3.5" wide to at least 18" tall and wide. Wow! I've never had a plant do so well with bugs! Once I get it sprayed, I'm sure it'll do even better. A must for anyone who loves pomegranites! Worth growing for the flowers alone if you don't like the fruit! I find it very easy to grow, and I kill african violets (which shows you that I'm not the best gardener). Highly reccommended!

Lovely plant
Reviewed By:
(Ames, IA)
I have two of these plants, one I bought a year ago, the other I got a few weeks ago. Both are doing very well, the older of the two is over a foot tall and wide, nice and bushy. It grew quite a bit over the summer and is covered in blooms/buds now. So far all have fallen off, even the ones that bloomed outside, but as the plant is only a year old and I am not the best bee substitute I am not surprised. It is such a cute plant that fruit would be a bonus, I love pomegranates though!

Terrific Tree
Reviewed By:
(Laramie, WY)
I purchased a Dwarf Pomegranate 3 years ago and just got my first fruit this year. The tree is now a healthy 3 feet tall and produced 7 slightly sour pomegranates, 5 half-dollar sized and two that were slightly larger. It's been in an 8 inch pot for all three years and once the last fruit ripens, its going to need a bigger pot to ensure good growth. A great buy!

Digital Input and Output with an Arduino
In this lab, you'll connect a digital input circuit and a digital output circuit to a microcontroller. Though this is written for the Arduino microcontroller module, the principles apply to any microcontroller.
(:toc Table of Contents:)
For this lab you will need the following parts:
Click on any image for a larger view
Prepare the breadboard
Connect power and ground on the breadboard to power and ground from the microcontroller. On the Arduino module, use the 5V and any of the ground connections:
Add a Digital Input (a switch)
Connect a switch to digital input 2 on the Arduino. The switch shown below is a store-bought momentary pushbutton, but you can use any switch. Try making your own with a couple of pieces of metal.
Add Digital Outputs (LEDs)
Connect a 560-ohm resistor and an LED in series to digital pin 3 and another to digital pin 4 of the Arduino.
What happens if you don't include the resistor connecting the switch to ground?
The resistor connecting the switch is a pulldown resistor. It provides the digital input pin with a reference to ground. Without it, the input will behave unreliably.
A note on resistor values: if you don't have a 10-kilohm resistor for the switch, you can use any reasonably high value. 4.7K, 22K, and even 1 Megohm resistors have been tested with this circuit and they work fine. As for the resistor on the LED, the higher the resistor value, the dimmer your LED will be. So 220-ohm resistors give you a nice bright LED, 1-kilohm will make it dimmer, and 10K or higher will likely make it too dim to see.
Program the Arduino
Connect the microcontroller to your computer via USB. When you plug the Arduino into your computer, you'll find a new serial port in the Tools-->Serial Port menu (for details on installing the software, and USB-to-serial drivers for older Arduino models, see the Arduino Getting Started Guide). In OSX, the name will begin with /dev/tty.usbmodem- if it's an Arduino Uno later, and /dev/tty.usbserial- if it's a Duemilanove or earlier. In Windows it will start with COM like all the other serial ports.
Write a program that reads the digital input on pin 2. When the switch is pressed, turn the yellow LED on and the red one off. When the switch is released, turn the red LED on and the yellow LED off.
In your setup() method, you need to set the three pins you're using as inputs or outputs, appropriately.
void setup() {
pinMode(2, INPUT); // set the switch pin to be an input
pinMode(3, OUTPUT); // set the yellow LED pin to be an output
pinMode(4, OUTPUT); // set the red LED pin to be an output
In the main loop, first you need an if-then-else statement to read the switch.
void loop() {
// read the switch input:
if (digitalRead(2) == HIGH) {
// if the switch is closed:
digitalWrite(3, HIGH); // turn on the yellow LED
digitalWrite(4, LOW); // turn off the red LED
else {
// if the switch is open:
digitalWrite(3, LOW); // turn off the yellow LED
digitalWrite(4, HIGH); // turn on the red LED

Preston — A mail truck carrying mail to residents, businesses and town offices caught fire Jan. 16, damaging some and destroying other pieces of mail and packages, the U.S. Postal Service informed residents.
There were no injuries in the incident, postal officials said.
"Please accept my apologies for the damage or delay to mail you may receive in poor condition," David D. Mastroianni Jr., district manager for Connecticut Valley District, wrote to postal customers on Jan. 17. "Recovered mail was cleaned and dried, but you still may see damage or experience a distinctive odor on the mail piece."
One customer who received the Postal Service letter was Town Clerk/Tax Collector Hattie Wucik, who is in the middle of receiving January tax bills.
Wucik said several envelopes were charred and wet, but no tax checks were damaged. One land recording document was damaged and would not have scanned properly, Wucik said, so she asked the attorney who sent the item for a replacement copy.
U.S. Postal Service spokeswoman Christine Dugas said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Authorities are searching for a man who could be connected to murder in south Fulton County.
Police have released a photo of a truck driver and a truck captured by surveillance cameras at a Shell station on Fulton Industrial Boulevard. They believe the man was operating a truck on the same night that37-year-old Jarvis Hester was shot and run over at the gas station.
Detective Melissa Parker said an autopsy revealed that Hester was shot at least one time and then fell to the ground before the 18-wheeler rolled over his body at around 1 a.m. on Monday.
The man in the photo is a suspect in the murder, Parker said.
Detectives said what led up to the deadly encounter remains under investigation.
Investigators hope someone will identify the red logo on a white trailer so they can narrow in on the driver.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

It's FCAT week in Florida schools and students are taking a more intense version of the standardized test. Higher standards and more in-depth thinking makes it more difficult to pass.It's only day one and 4th grader Jenessa Hernandez has a good feeling about the FCAT."I thought I did good and I wasn't nervous," Hernandez said.The test has tougher questions compared to previous years.
For example, a reading question related to a story about dogs in the past may have asked, 'How does the author feel about dogs?'
This year, teachers said, that same question may ask, 'What is the author's attitude about dogs?'"We're expecting students now to read with more depth of understanding versus just reading and answer a question yes or no," Edison Park CEA Elementary Principal, Carl Brunick said. This year, there is a new FCAT scoring system, which could mean 990 third graders in Lee County and 660 third graders in Collier County might be held back. "We try not to make it too stressful, just emphasize that it's important to try to do your best, but other than that it's just what we do every day," Brunick said.Based on a scale of five being the top score, 3rd grade students have to score at least a two to go on to 4th grade. If they don't, there are other options to help them pass. Tenth grade students must pass the reading portion of the FCAT to graduate, but according to the Florida Department of Education, those students get two chances to pass in 11th grade and two more senior year.
Those students can also take SAT or ACT and earn an equivalent score allowing them to graduate. So to make sure all students do well, they practice the questions all year."We get homework on math and reading to go home and then we put it into the computer to see what we get," Hernandez said.Superintendents warned to expect lower school grades with the changes on the FCAT.

Woman killed by falling branch in Kew Gardens named
The woman who died when tree branches crashed down on her head as she walked through Kew Gardens has been named as Erena Louise Wilson, a 31-year-old accounts manager from New Zealand. She died instantly an inquest has heard.
She was unable to get out of the way when part of the Lebanese cedar snapped off and fell on her, as rain and gusts of up to 30mph swept the capital.
West London Coroner's Court heard she had been walking through the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, west London, with two friends when tragedy struck.
– Inspector Simon Young told the inquest
Her friends stated they were walking along the path and heard a loud crack, I believe they thought it was thunder.
They looked up and saw the tree branch descending. They ran and when they looked round, the lady was on the floor in an uncomfortable position to say the least, with lots of branches around her.
As far as we know, she would have died instantly from traumatic head injuries.

Trial has begun for a valley man who police say is responsible for the death of a 21-year-old ASU student.
It's been more than two years since Kyleigh Sousa died. She was walking down the street when police say Jose Luis Marquez reached out of a car and grabbed her purse.
Sousa held on to her purse and was dragged down the road. She died at the hospital.
The suspect's car was full, and police were able to track down the four passengers.
All of them identified Marquez as the driver and the one who grabbed Kyleigh Sousa's purse.
Kyleigh Sousa was outside a Tempe IHOP just south of the ASU campus with a friend when prosecutors say Marquez leaned out the driver's side window of his rented car, grabbed her purse and sped away.
Kyleigh's friend Franco Hernandez was with her and saw the whole thing. He took the stand Thursday.
"As we were walking into IHOP, this car was coming towards us. Kyleigh had stepped in there momentarily, they started hollering at us, asking us where the party is," he said.
Kyleigh and Franco chatted with the group in the car for maybe a minute. The boys in the car told Kyleigh she was beautiful.
"As we're getting ready to step back into restaurant, the driver had leaped out and grabbed Kyleigh's purse, and started driving, while she was running, with the car, she turned away -- she let go and fell down.
"I had to run up to Kyleigh and she was unconscious. There's blood everywhere. Blood coming out of her mouth. I remember pulling chunks out of her mouth and she started coughing up a lot of blood," testified Franco Hernandez.
"This wasn't a mistake, an accident. This was a robbery. And during that robbery the defendant caused the death of Kyleigh," said Jason Kalish, prosecutor.
For months, investigators could not track down the driver, but nearly 6 months after the crime, they got a tip from one of the four people who were passengers in the car that night.
Dennis Miller was in prison for an unrelated crime and told investigators he wanted to get something off his chest.
"He didn't ask for a lighter sentence, he didn't ask for a benefit and he didn't get one. He said I was in that car and I need to tell someone what happened," said Kalish.
Marquez's defense attorney was quick to point the flaws in the state's case.
"There is no physical evidence linking Jose Luis to these offenses," says defense attorney Carrie Spiller.
She also plans to question why the four passengers in the car point the finger at Marquez.
"The reason there were more than 500 tips is because there was reward money offered in this case. You are allowed to consider the motives of individuals while they are testifying," said Spiller.
Marquez was charged with 1st degree murder and robbery. The trail is expected to last about two weeks.

Koldamova R, Staufenbiel M, Lefterov I. Lack of ABCA1 considerably decreases brain ApoE level and increases amyloid deposition in APP23 mice. J Biol Chem. 2005 Dec 30;280(52):43224-35. PubMed.
Please login to recommend the paper.
The newly proposed role for ApoE in lipid antigen presentation reported by van den Elzen et al. casts a new and interesting light on the results published by Hirsch-Reinshagen et al., Koldamova et al., and Wahrle et al.. Van den Elzen et al. show that ApoE binds directly to lipid antigens and delivers them into CD1-bearing dendritic cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis much more efficiently than macropinocytosis does. This process eventually leads to the production of interferon-Aγ and other cytokines. The results in the paper point to the presentation of foreign lipids (such as bacterial pathogens), whose role in the pathogenesis of AD is not well established [Editor's note: see ARF Live Discussion ]. However, the presentation of endogenous lipid antigens such as sulfatide could be potentially very important in activating microglia and astroglia as well, especially in the execution of their Aβ-clearing capacity. The sphingolipid sulfatide is the main constituent of mammalian brain lipids. In CNS it is transported by ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles and was found to be decreased in AD patients (3). Previous data support a role for ApoE as an immunomodulatory agent affecting both the innate and adaptive immune responses. For example, ApoE modulates the CNS inflammatory response by down-regulating glial secretion of inflammatory cytokines and neurotoxic mediators such as nitric oxide, which is important in exacerbating neurodegeneration. Another study demonstrated that ApoE deficiency results in impaired clearance of apoptotic cell remnants (1). A regulatory role of ABCA1 in the engulfment of apoptotic bodies was suggested about 10 years ago, at the time its cDNA was initially cloned, and now we know that such a role is being mediated, at least in part, by ApoE (2).
Although the genetic association of ApoE and Alzheimer disease has been known for more than 10 years now, and ApoE4 is indeed the only proven independent risk factor, these recent studies, including the papers in JBC (5,12) are helping to explain why ApoE is essential and how it works to prevent or facilitate Aβ aggregation, amyloid deposition, and clearance. More importantly, the fact that ABCA1 controls ApoE lipidation status and thus its proper function in the brain opens completely new directions for drug design and therapeutic interventions in Alzheimer disease (7). In this respect, it appears that the availability of brain cholesterol and phospholipids to different carriers is critical for their function, and maintaining the appropriate distribution of brain lipids rather than inhibition of their synthesis may have a protective or even therapeutic effect in AD.View all comments by Iliya Lefterov
In our study, we used APP23 transgenic mice in which human familial Swedish AD mutant is expressed only in neurons, and we demonstrate that targeted disruption of ABCA1 transporter increases amyloid deposition. The effect was manifested by an increased level of Aβ as well as thioflavin S-positive plaques in brain parenchyma. Moreover, the lack of ABCA1 considerably increased the level of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in APP23/ABCA1-/- mice. The fact that the elevation of the fraction of insoluble Aβ in old APP23/ABCA1-/- mice was accompanied by no change in soluble Aβ in young APP23/ABCA1-/- mice, and no difference in APP processing supports a conclusion that ABCA1 has a bigger impact on amyloid deposition than on amyloid production. Our data are in agreement with studies from Holtzman's (12) and Wellington's (5) groups. They demonstrated that ABCA1 deficiency in transgenic mice expressing human APP, harboring different FAD mutations and under the control of different promoters, increases amyloid deposition. In PDAPP mice (12) there was a considerable increase in insoluble Aβ level and a trend toward an increase of Aβ and thioflavin S-positive deposits. In the TgSwDI/B transgenic AD model (5), a substantial increase in thioflavin S load in hippocampus and thalamus was found, although not paralleled by changes in Aβ levels as measured by ELISA. In the same study, the Wellington group used a second APP transgenic model, APP/PS, and found no change in amyloid deposition. All three studies demonstrate a considerable increase of CAA. It is remarkable that in the three studies the elevation in parenchymal amyloid and CAA was accompanied by a dramatic decrease in soluble ApoE levels in the brain. Some of the results reported in the three papers, however, do not overlap:
1. Whereas we and Wahrle et al. (12) found a considerable increase in insoluble Aβ peptides in APP23 and PDAPP mice, Hirsch-Reinshagen et al. (5) reported no change in insoluble Aβ fraction in APP/PS1 or in TgSwDI/B transgenic mice. This discrepancy could be explained by the expression of APP transgenes producing Aβ species with different ability to aggregate or propensity for clearance. In APP/PS1 and Tg-SwDI/B mice, the expression of PS1 or Swedish, Dutch, and Iowa triple-mutant APP increases the proportion of more hydrophobic Aβ peptides (5), which are known to aggregate faster and undergo inefficient clearance compared to Aβ40 peptide.
2. While ABCA1 deficiency in APP23 and Tg-SwDI/B (5) caused an increase in amyloid plaques and a trend towards increase in PDAPP mice (12), Hirsch-Reinshagen et al. did not find a difference in amyloid deposition in APP/PS1 mice (5), which were examined at the more advanced age in terms of AD pathology. One explanation could be a role for ABCA1 in the initial period of aggregation and accumulation of amyloid.
The main conclusion from these three studies (Hirsch-Reinshagen et al., Koldamova et al., and Wahrle et al.) is that there is a negative correlation between amyloid load and the level of soluble, properly lipidated ApoE in the brain. Two contrasting roles for ApoE on amyloid deposition have been proposed: one promoting amyloid deposition and another mediating Aβ clearance. The first is supported by numerous in vivo data demonstrating that in transgenic APP mice with genetically disrupted endogenous mouse ApoE, fibrillar thioflavin S-positive Aβ deposits in brain parenchyma and vasculature are virtually missing. The second one is supported by in vitro and in vivo data demonstrating that ApoE has an important role in Aβ clearance across blood-brain barrier (BBB) and by astrocytes, a process mediated primarily via LDL receptors LRP1 and LRP2 (6,9). The three present JBC papers help to explain these seemingly contradictory effects of ApoE on amyloid aggregation and clearance by the differential roles of its lipid-rich and lipid-poor states. First, ApoE binding to various LDL receptors depends on its lipidation status: Lipid-poor ApoE is a weak ligand for LRP and LDL receptors, and this could explain the decreased Aβ clearance in ABCA1-/- mice. Insufficient and poorly lipidated ApoE in brain decreases Aβ clearance and degradation, and its retention in CNS will consequently increase amyloid deposition. Second, it was demonstrated that lipid-poor ApoE is more effective than lipid-rich ApoE in promoting Aβ aggregation (8). Previous work by Holtzman's and Wellington's groups demonstrated that ApoE in CSF of ABCA1-/- mice, as well as ApoE secreted in the conditioned media of ABCA1-/- astrocytes, is in a lipid-poor state (4,11). Moreover, it is obvious that, as in the periphery of ABCA1-/- mice or Tangier patients, poorly lipidated ApoA-I and ApoE proteins in the brain are unstable and are subjected to fast catabolism, explaining their decreased level.View all comments by Iliya Lefterov
Comment on the Wahrle et al., Koldamova et al., and Hirsh-Reinshagen et al. papers
Our laboratory and the laboratories of Iliya Lefterov and Cheryl Wellington reported on the effects of ABCA1 deletion on deposition of Aβ in four different mouse models of Alzheimer disease (AD). As shown in previous work from our lab and that of Wellington's, deletion of ABCA1 leads to poor lipidation of ApoE and large reductions in ApoE levels in the plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain parenchyma. Since mouse models of AD that have reduced or no expression of mouse ApoE develop significantly less Aβ deposition and also greatly reduced deposition of thioflavin S-positive Aβ, we expected that the decreased levels of ApoE present in ABCA1 knockout mice would lead to less Aβ-related pathology in ABCA1-/- mice bred to mouse models of AD. Contrary to this hypothesis, all three laboratories found that deletion of ABCA1 either has no effect or even increases Aβ-related pathology in four different mouse models of AD. These results indicate that the poorly lipidated ApoE produced by ABCA1-/- mice may increase Aβ fibrillogenesis The papers come to similar conclusions with different mouse models and different methods, which strengthens and supports the finding of all three papers.
The Holtzman laboratory found that PDAPP (APPV717F) mice crossed onto an ABCA1-/- background have significantly more Aβ deposited in their brains and have a higher prevalence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). There were no differences in APP processing in young PDAPP, ABCA1-/- mice that would account for the higher level of Aβ deposition. Additionally, the PDAPP, ABCA1-/- mice accumulated insoluble ApoE in plaques at a higher rate than PDAPP, ABCA1+/+ mice, suggesting that lipid-poor ApoE is not only more amyloidogenic but also that it binds to fibrillar Aβ. Using the APP23 (APPK670N, M671L) mouse model, the Lefterov group also showed that deletion of ABCA1 resulted in increased deposition of total and fibrillar (thioflavine S-positive) Aβ, which was not a result of altered APP processing. The Lefterov laboratory found significantly higher amounts of CAA and associated microhemorrhage in APP23, ABCA1-/- mice than APP23, ABCA1+/+ mice. The Wellington laboratory bred ABCA1-/- mice to two other mouse models: Tg-SwDI/B (APPK670N, M671L, E693Q, D694N) and APP/PS1 (APPK670N, M671L, PS1 DeltaE9). They did not see significant changes in soluble or insoluble Aβ in brain. However, this lack of an effect on Aβ deposition is still interesting given that the large decreases in ApoE levels in ABCA1-/- mice were expected to lead to large decreases in Aβ deposition. The Wellington group also noted increased insoluble ApoE in the ABCA1-/-, TgSwDI/B and ABCA1-/-, APP/PS1 mice compared to their respective ABCA1+/+ controls once plaques developed, again suggesting that the lipid-poor state of ApoE in ABCA1-/- mice may increase the fibrillogenesis of Aβ. Overall, the findings these papers suggest that modifying the lipidation state of ApoE in the brain may influence AD pathogenesis and be a potential treatment target.View all comments by Suzanne Wahrle
Three papers by Hirsch-Reinshagen et al., Koldamova et al., and Wahrle et al. (1-3) have now investigated the role of ABCA1 in Alzheimer disease neuropathology in vivo. Two very important findings were common to all three groups, demonstrating that these effects are robust and hold true across specific strains and particular animal models. Firstly, all groups corroborated prior findings of significantly reduced ApoE levels in the brains of ABCA1-deficient mice. Secondly, and contrary to all expectations, the ABCA1-mediated reduction of ApoE levels did not decrease amyloid formation, as would have been expected from previous studies showing that ApoE levels determine the extent of amyloid deposition in vivo.
All three groups reported that ABCA1 deficiency led to an 80 percent reduction in soluble ApoE levels, independent of mouse strain or AD model. Impaired ApoE secretion from both primary astrocytes and microglia has been shown to occur in ABCA1-deficient cells (4) and might partially explain this phenomenon. Additionally, increased catabolism of the poorly lipidated ApoE particles present in ABCA1-deficient brains is likely to occur, as has been demonstrated for peripheral ApoA1 in Tangier disease (5). Given that ABCA1 is required to maintain normal brain ApoE levels, and because ApoE plays a key role in AD pathogenesis, further studies elucidating the exact mechanisms by which ABCA1 participates in brain ApoE metabolism are warranted.
The other common result to all papers is that despite a large decrease in soluble ApoE levels, no reduction in amyloid burden was observed in any of the four AD models tested. This suggests that ApoE lipidation status, which is reduced in ABCA1-deficient animals, is a crucial regulator of amyloid formation. In addition, different Aβ species and their specific deposition pattern did not influence the amyloidogenic effect of lipid-poor ApoE. ABCA1-deficient mice on either Tg-SwD/I, PDAPP, or APP23 background had increased amyloid burdens compared to their wild-type controls, suggesting that neither their specific Aβ species nor its deposition pattern (predominantly vascular in the Tg-SwD/I and parenchymal in the PDAPP and APP23 models) modulates amyloid formation in the presence of poorly lipidated ApoE. Together, all three papers demonstrate that low levels of poorly lipidated ApoE support at least as much amyloid deposition as wild-type levels of normally lipidated ApoE. How lipidation of ApoE contributes to the process of Aβ fibrillization, deposition, and clearance remains to be fully elucidated.
Although the most important findings were indeed corroborated by all groups, some differences were present and may be primarily related to methodological variables and time of analysis. Firstly, Koldamova et al. report an increase in amyloid and Aβ burden in APP23 mice that lacked ABCA1. Wahrle et al. reported a significant increase in guanidine-extractable Aβ load, but did not detect a significant change in amyloid burden. Hirsch-Reinshagen et al. report an increase in amyloid load in the Tg-SwD/I model but no detectable change in amyloid load in APP/PS1 mice that lacked ABCA1, and no change in guanidine-extractable Aβ levels in either model. Even though all groups saw no reduction in amyloid deposition despite a large decrease in ApoE levels, the differences in amyloid and Aβ load between wild-type and ABCA1-deficient mice may have been dependent on the stage of progression of AD. For example, in the APP/PS1 model, where severe pathology was present at the moment of analysis, no differences were observed in amyloid burden or guanidine-extractable Aβ levels between wild-type and ABCA1-deficient mice. In all other three models, analyzed at relatively earlier stages of disease progression, ABCA1-deficient animals did show an increase in amyloid burden when compared to wild-type controls. Further studies might clarify whether the role of ApoE in amyloid formation is most important during the initial stages of Aβ fibrillization, or whether other differences among the models tested may account for the differences in Aβ compared to amyloid burden.
A second important difference among the three studies relates to the report of a shift in ApoE distribution from a soluble to an insoluble pool. Wahrle et al. and Hirsch-Reisnhagen et al. showed an increase in guanidine-extractable pool of ApoE in ABCA1-deficient brains compared to controls. Koldamova et al., using formic acid extractions, did not observe such a phenomenon. Again, it is unclear whether this discrepancy is only of methodological nature or if singularities of the mouse model used by Koldamova et al. are responsible for this. The mechanisms underlying the shift of ApoE into an insoluble form are probably closely related to the increased amyloidogenicity of lipid-poor ApoE and are therefore an interesting subject for further studies.View all comments by Cheryl Wellington
