Abstract

Structured AbstractO_ST_ABSBackgroundC_ST_ABSAPPE693Q ("Dutch") transgenic mice develop aging-related learning deficits and accumulate endogenously generated nonfibrillar aggregates of A{beta} (NFA-A{beta}) and APP -carboxy terminal fragments. NFA-A{beta} correlates with synaptic loss and memory deficits more closely than does fibrillar A{beta}. MethodsWe assessed the physiological, transcriptomic, ultrastructural, histological, and metabolic changes associated with the accumulation of NFA of Dutch A{beta} in brains of APPE693Q mice. ResultsAging-related accumulation of NFA-A{beta} in APPE693Q mice was revealed by A11 immunohistochemistry and cyclic D,L--peptide-FITC microscopy. Presynaptic termini of APPE693Q mice developed physiological abnormalities in post-tetanic potentiation, synaptic fatigue, synaptic vesicle replenishment, and an aging-related reduction in mitochondrial complex I activity. Single-cell RNA sequencing showed that excitatory neurons exhibited an altered transcriptomic profile involving "protein translation" and "oxidative phosphorylation". DiscussionAccumulation of NFA-A{beta} alters neuronal metabolism but does not activate inflammation. Depletion of all forms of A{beta} may be required to eliminate A{beta} toxicity with anti-amyloid antibodies.
