Selective filtering defect at the axon initial segment in Alzheimer’s disease mouse models

Abstract excerpt

Axon pathology has been widely reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and AD mouse models. Herein we report that increased miR-342-5p down-regulates the expression of ankyrin G (AnkG), a protein known to play a critical role in establishing selective filtering machinery at the axon initial segment (AIS). Diminished AnkG expression leads to defective AIS filtering in cultured hippocampal neurons from AD...
