Abstract

Copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn‐SOD) is a key enzyme in the metabolism of oxygen free radicals. The gene encoding CuZn‐SOD resides on human chromosome 21 and is overexpressed in Down syndrome (DS) patients. Overexpression of CuZn‐SOD in transgenic (Tg) mice and cultured cells creates chronic oxidative stress leading to enhanced susceptibility to degeneration and apoptotic cell death. We have now found that three lines of Tg‐CuZn‐SOD mice, one of which also overexpresses S100β, a glial calcium binding protein, are deficient in spatial memory. Furthermore, hippocampal slices taken from these mice have an apparently normal synaptic physiology, but are impaired in the ability to express long‐term potentiation (LTP). This effect on hippocampal LTP was abrogated by treatment of slices with the H 2 O 2 scavenger catalase or the antioxidant N‐t‐butyl‐phenylnitrone (BPN). It is proposed that elevated CuZnSOD causes an increase in tetanic stimulation‐evoked formation of H 2 O 2 which leads to diminished LTP and cognitive deficits in these mice.

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.
