Jan 18, 2015 · 5xFAD mice develop motor impairments, beginning at about 9 months of age (O’Leary et al., 2018; O’Leary et al., 2018). On the Rotarod, transgenic mice fall off more quickly than controls, and improve little across trials. 5xFAD mice also fall more quickly when tested on a balance beam, and in wire- and grid-suspension tests.

Jan 30, 2025 · 5xFAD mice showed signs of reduced anxiety in two behavioral tests frequently used to evaluate this phenotype. Transgenic mice spent more time in the center of an open field than non-transgenic mice in a study that included only females, a difference that emerged between 3 and 6 months of age ( Jawhar et al., 2012 ).

Apr 6, 2018 · There was a modest decrease in PBS-soluble Aβ in hippocampus in CV-KO-5XFAD compared with KO-5XFAD mice. The neurodegeneration-associated microglial activation markers Cst7, Spp1, and Gpnmb were elevated in CV-KO-5XFAD compared with KO-5XFAD. CV-KO-5XFAD mice have also been compared with 5XFAD mice carrying the R47H variant of human …

Nov 27, 2020 · These data indicate that Aβ is the cause of neuronal degeneration and death in 5XFAD mice, rather than an artifact resulting from mutant APP and PS1 overexpression. Our work strongly suggests that Aβ is ultimately responsible for neuron loss in AD, a conclusion that has met with a fair amount of debate and controversy in the past.

May 4, 2018 · The number of plaque-associated microglia was reduced in TREM2-BAC X 5xFAD (5xFAD/TREM2) mice compared with 5xFAD mice at 7 months of age. Microglial morphology also differed between genotypes: While plaque-associated microglia in 5xFAD cortex have an amoeboid shape, microglia in 5xFAD/TREM2 cortex have more elongated, ramified processes.

Apr 6, 2018 · Humanized TREM2 mice were crossed with 5XFAD mice to obtain 5XFAD expressing the R47H variant (R47H + mTrem2 −/− 5XFAD, or R47H-KO-5XFAD) or the common variant (CV + mTrem2 −/− 5XFAD, or CV-KO-5XFAD). Additionally, mTrem2 −/− 5XFAD (KO-5XFAD) were available for comparison. Thus far, 8.5-month-old mice have been studied. …

Oct 11, 2024 · In 5xFAD mice, this antibody reportedly makes a good ARIA model (Mar 2024 conference news). Indeed, as per mouse MRI, the unmodified 3D6 antibody provoked ARIA-like events in all 10 5xFAD mice used in this study, while an equal dose of ATV CisLALA -3D6 triggered a single ARIA-like lesion in one mouse, despite its higher penetration into the brain.

Sep 19, 2024 · First author Claire Butler and colleagues wanted to know how this variant would affect amyloid plaques, so they initially crossed the V1613M strain to 5xFAD mice. The offspring reduced plaque load, dystrophic neurites, and plasma NfL. This was unexpected, Green said, because ABCA7 deficiency increases plaques.

Dec 7, 2024 · In 5xFAD mice, a similar analysis revealed substantial overlap in plaque-associated genes between mouse and human samples. Swarup said the findings bolster previous studies on plaque-induced genes, aka “PiGs” (Jul 2020 news; Feb 2023 news). The agreement across species suggests a common, amyloid-related signature at the heart of different ...

Mar 21, 2024 · Neurons from 5xFAD TREM1 KOs seemed healthier, too, with neurites near cortical plaques being preserved. In mitochondria isolated from synaptosome fractions of APP Swe /TREM1 KOs, electrons skipped down the transport chain to drive ATP production as well as they did in organelles from wild-type mice. The mitochondria also seemed to metabolize ...
