Intron-3 Retention/Splicing Controls Neuronal Expression of Apolipoprotein E in the CNS
6 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Neuronal expression of apolipoprotein (apo) E4 may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In studying how apoE expression is regulated in neurons, we identified a splicing variant of apoE mRNA with intron-3 retention (apoE-I3). ApoE-I3 mRNA was detected in neuronal cell lines and primary neurons, but not in astrocytic cell lines or primary astrocytes, from humans and mice by reverse...
