The senescence-accelerated mouse (SAMP8) strain exhibits decreased learning and memory and increased amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide accumulation at 12 months. To detect differences in gene expression in SAMP8 mice, we used a control mouse that was a 50% cross between SAMP8 and CD-1 mice and which showed no memory deficits (50% SAMs). We then compared gene expression in the hippocampus of 4- and 12-month-old...
Amyloid beta protein (Aβ) is the primary constituent of plaque seen in Alzheimer's disease. Aβ is proposed to play an etiological role in Alzheimer's disease and to be a cause of the decrease in the level of acetylcholine in the hippocampus. The SAMP8 strain of mouse develops age-related increases in Aβ and deficits in learning and memory by 12 months of age. We examined in 12 month old SAMP8 mice...
Senescence accelerated (SAMP8 [P8]) mice develop age-related deficits in memory and learning. We show that increased expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its mRNA in the hippocampus are also age-related. Immunocytochemical data suggest that a critical amount of APP expression may be needed to generate amyloid (Aβ) protein plaques in the hippocampus. Deficits in acquisition and retention...
