β-Secretase Activity Increases with Aging in Human, Monkey, and Mouse Brain
Open accessAbstract
Amyloid beta protein (A beta) accumulates in the brains of aging humans, amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic mouse lines, and rhesus monkeys. We tested the hypothesis that aging was associated with increased activity of the beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (beta-secretase, BACE) in brain. We evaluated BACE activity, BACE protein, and formic acid-extractable A beta levels in cohorts of young (4 months old) and old (14 to 18 months old) nontransgenic mice (n = 16) and Tg2576 APP transgenic mice (n = 17), young (4.4 to 12.7 years old) and old (20.9 to 30.4 years old) rhesus monkeys (n = 17), and a wide age range (18 to 92 years old) of nondemented human brains (n = 25). Aging was associated with increased brain A beta levels in each cohort. Furthermore BACE activity increased significantly with age in mouse, monkey, and human brains, independent of brain region. BACE protein levels, however, were unchanged with age. BACE activity correlated with formic acid-extractable A beta levels in transgenic mouse, nontransgenic mouse, and human cortex, but not in monkey brain. These data suggest that an age-related increase of BACE activity contributes to the increased production and accumulation of brain A beta, and potentially predisposes to Alzheimer's disease in humans.

Expression and activity of BACE1 are increased during aging in the brains of mice, rats and humans.
“Previous studies consistently reported that expression and activity of BACE1 are increased during aging in the brains mice, rats and humans (Boissonneault et al. 2009, Che et al. 2014, Fukumoto et al. 2004, Rossner et al. 2006), raising the possibility of a link between aging-associated alterations in BACE1 and the increased risk for AD.”

The “BACE Activity Increases in the Brain with Aging” section and Figure 2 report increased BACE activity with age in mice and humans. But the paper studied mice, monkeys, and humans—not rats—and its “There Are No Significant Changes in Brain BACE Protein Levels with Aging” section and Figure 3 report no significant age-related increase in BACE protein levels.

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.
