Induction of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Plaque-Associated Glial Cells of Aged APP23 Transgenic Mice
Open accessAbstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a versatile neurotrophic factor that has been implicated in cell survival, cell differentiation, axonal growth, and activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Changes in BDNF expression have also been reported during the course of several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). The role of BDNF in AD, however, has remained elusive. To learn more about this neurotrophic factor, we investigated BDNF expression in brain of amyloid precursor protein overexpressing mice (APP23 transgenic mice).In situ hybridization revealed BDNF mRNA signals associated with amyloid plaques. Laser microdissection in combination with quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated a sixfold increase of BDNF mRNA in the immediate plaque vicinity, a threefold increase in a tissue ring surrounding the plaque, and control levels in interplaque areas comparable with those measured in age-matched nontransgenic mice. Double immunofluorescence localized BDNF to microglial cells and astrocytes surrounding the plaque. Cortical BDNF protein levels were quantified by ELISA demonstrating a >10-fold increase compared with age-matched controls. This upregulation of BDNF protein significantly correlated with the β-amyloid load in the transgenic animals. Taken together, our data demonstrate a plaque-associated upregulation of BDNF in APP23 transgenic mice and implicate this neurotrophin in the regulation of inflammatory and axonal growth processes in the plaque vicinity.

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.
