Age‐dependent dysregulation of brain amyloid precursor protein in the Ts65Dn Down syndrome mouse model

Abstract excerpt

Individuals with Down syndrome develop beta-amyloid deposition characteristic of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) in mid-life, presumably because of an extra copy of the chromosome 21-located amyloid precursor protein (App) gene. App mRNA and APP metabolite levels were assessed in the brains of Ts65Dn mice, a mouse model of Down syndrome, using quantitative PCR, western blot analysis, immunoprecipitation, and...
