ΔFosB Regulates Gene Expression and Cognitive Dysfunction in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
1 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline and 5- to 10-fold increased seizure incidence. How seizures contribute to cognitive decline in AD or other disorders is unclear. We show that spontaneous seizures increase expression of ΔFosB, a highly stable Fos-family transcription factor, in the hippocampus of an AD mouse model. ΔFosB suppressed expression of the immediate early gene c-Fos, which...
