Ultrastructural and transcriptional profiling of neuropathological misregulation of CREB function
Open accessAbstract
We compare here the neurodegenerative processes observed in the hippocampus of bitransgenic mice with chronically altered levels of cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) function. The combination of genome-wide transcriptional profiling of degenerating hippocampal tissue with microscopy analyses reveals that the sustained inhibition of CREB function in A-CREB mice is associated with dark neuron degeneration, whereas its strong chronic activation in VP16-CREB mice primarily causes excitotoxic cell death and inflammation. Furthermore, the meta-analysis with gene expression profiles available in public databases identifies relevant common markers to other neurodegenerative processes and highlights the importance of the immune response in neurodegeneration. Overall, these analyses define the ultrastructural and transcriptional signatures associated with these two forms of hippocampal neurodegeneration, confirm the importance of fine-tuned regulation of CREB-dependent gene expression for CA1 neuron survival and function, and provide novel insight into the function of CREB in the etiology of neurodegenerative processes.

Removing the creb1 gene in adult mouse forebrain or chronic inhibition of CREB function leads to extensive neurodegeneration in the hippocampus.
“Removing the creb1 gene in adult mouse forebrain or chronic inhibition of CREB function leads to extensive neurodegeneration in the hippocampus (67,68).”
From CREB-activity and nmnat2 transcription are down-regulated prior to neurodegeneration, while NMNAT2 over-expression is neuroprotective, in a mouse model of human tauopathy (2012) · cites this paper as [68]
The section “Chronic inhibition of CREB function causes dark neuron degeneration” reports CA1 neuron loss in mice expressing the CREB inhibitor A-CREB, supporting the chronic-inhibition part of the sentence. The passages do not report removal of the creb1 gene in adult mouse forebrain, so this source does not support that part. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
