Abstract

RNA binding proteins, the key regulators in gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, remain largely uncharacterized with respect to aging and relevant cognitive deterioration. Here, we report that the levels of SFRS11 are substantially decreased in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of aged brains. Notably, mice with SFRS11 deficiency in the PFC show impaired learning and memory. We demonstrate that SFRS11 directly binds to the 3' UTR of LRP8 mRNA, as well as to the third exon of apoE mRNA, resulting in stabilization of these mRNAs, eventually deactivating JNK signaling. Importantly, restoration of LRP8 and apoE reduces JNK signaling that is significantly enhanced in SFRS11-deficient cells. In addition, LRP8 and apoE rescue aging-like phenotypes induced by SFRS11 loss. Our findings demonstrate that age-dependent loss of SFRS11 in the PFC reduces levels of apoE and LRP8, leading to activation of the JNK pathway, ultimately influencing cognitive deficits.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
