ExploratoryAlzheimer's diseaseTET2APPswe/PSEN1 double-transgenic miceproposed
This experiment examined the expression levels of Tet2 and amyloid-β plaque accumulation in the brains of aged APPswe/PSEN1 double-transgenic (2×Tg-AD) mice, which serve as a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. The researchers analyzed brain tissue from these transgenic mice to determine whether there were changes in Tet2 expression associated with amyloid pathology. The study found that aged 2×Tg-AD mice exhibited increased Aβ plaque accumulation alongside decreased Tet2 expression, suggesting an inverse relationship between amyloid burden and Tet2 levels in this AD model.
PRIMARY OUTCOME
Tet2 expression levels and amyloid plaque burden
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Decreased Tet2 expression correlating with increased amyloid pathology
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Detectable changes in Tet2 levels and amyloid burden
PROTOCOL
Brain tissue analysis from aged 2×Tg-AD mice for Tet2 expression and Aβ plaque quantification
