Autoimmune Manifestations in the 3xTg-AD Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Immune system activation is frequently reported in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it remains unknown whether this is a cause, a consequence, or an epiphenomenon of brain degeneration. OBJECTIVE: The present study examines whether immunological abnormalities occur in a well-established murine AD model and if so, how they relate temporally to behavioral deficits and neuropathology. METHODS: A broad battery of tests was employed to assess behavioral performance and autoimmune/inflammatory markers in 3xTg-AD (AD) mice and wild type controls from 1.5 to 12 months of age. RESULTS: Aged AD mice displayed severe manifestations of systemic autoimmune/inflammatory dise6ase, as evidenced by splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, elevated serum levels of anti-nuclear/anti-dsDNA antibodies, low hematocrit, and increased number of double-negative T splenocytes. However, anxiety-related behavior and altered spleen function were evident as early as 2 months of age, thus preceding typical AD-like brain pathology. Moreover, AD mice showed altered olfaction and impaired "cognitive" flexibility in the first 6 months of life, suggesting mild cognitive impairment-like manifestations before general learning/memory impairments emerged at an older age. Interestingly, all of these features were present in 3xTg-AD mice prior to significant amyloid-β or tau pathology. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that behavioral deficits in AD mice develop in parallel with systemic autoimmune/inflammatory disease. These changes antedate AD-like neuropathology, thus supporting a causal link between autoimmunity and aberrant behavior. Consequently, 3xTg-AD mice may be a useful model in elucidating the role of immune system in the etiology of AD.

3xTg-AD mice display manifestations of systemic autoimmunity, including splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, elevated serum autoantibodies, reduced hematocrit, and elevated double-negative T splenocytes, which are all exacerbated in 3xTg-AD males.
“Marchese et al. and Kapadia et al. have provided strong evidence that 3xTg-AD mice display manifestations of systemic autoimmunity, including splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, elevated serum autoantibodies, reduced hematocrit, and elevated double-negative (CD4-/CD8-) T splenocytes, which are all exacerbated in 3xTg-AD males [26, 27].”

The Results summary reports all five listed manifestations in aged 3xTg-AD mice. However, Materials and Methods > Animals states that only males were studied, so this paper cannot establish that the manifestations are exacerbated in males relative to females. The reported worsening is age-related, not a male–female comparison; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.91)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured3xTg-AD males exhibit a sex-dependent spontaneous autoimmune response.
“This finding complements the strong body of evidence that 3xTg-AD males exhibit a sex-dependent spontaneous autoimmune response.”

The Materials and Methods (Animals; page unavailable) state that the study used male mice, and the Results (Immunopathology; page unavailable) report autoimmune markers in 3xTg-AD mice. Because the study did not test females, it does not establish that the response is sex-dependent. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThese results align with published literature and reinforce the translatability of the 3xTg-AD model.
“Together, these results align with published literature [20, 21, 23, 24, 26, 27] and reinforce the translatability of the 3xTg-AD model.”
Hepatomegaly has been previously reported in the 3xTg-AD model.
“Hepatomegaly has been previously reported in the 3xTg-AD model [26, 27, 52]”
Marchese et al. showed that 3xTg-AD male mice exhibit elevated serum autoantibodies, reduced hematocrit, increased double-negative T splenocytes, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly, which progress between 2 and 12 months of age.

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.
