Transcriptome analyses of 7-day-old zebrafish larvae possessing a familial Alzheimer's disease-like mutation in psen1 indicate effects on oxidative phosphorylation, ECM and MCM functions, and iron homeostasis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (EOfAD) is promoted by dominant mutations, enabling the study of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenic mechanisms through generation of EOfAD-like mutations in animal models. In a previous study, we generated an EOfAD-like mutation, psen1Q96_K97del, in zebrafish and performed transcriptome analysis comparing entire brains from 6-month-old wild type and...
