The microglial transcriptome of a novel murine model of Alzheimer's Disease: FACS-isolated microglia from heterozygous and homozygous App-SAA mice and WT littermate controls.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We created a novel murine model of Alzheimer's Disease using a knock-in strategy to humanize the sequence of the murine App gene and introduced three familial AD (FAD) mutations, Swedish (Swedish (KM670/671NL), Arctic (E693G)) and Austrian (T712I). We characterized the effects of these genetic modifications on the transcriptome of FACS-isolated microglia from 8-month-old App-SAA mice. Numerous genes were differentially expressed between cells from homozygous App-SAA animals compared to those from WT littermates. For example, we observed up-regulation of Disease-associated microglia (DAM) genes. In contrast, the transcriptome of microglia from heterozygous App-SAA animals broadly resembles that of their WT counterparts.
