|
behavior/neurological
|
• mice travel more in an open field during the habituation and acquisition phase than do Apoetm3(APOE*4)Mae mice
• particularly females
• females become slightly less active in testing phase
• no longer significantly more active in the retention phase and females clearly less active

|
pigmentation
|
• aged (65-127 weeks) mutants fed a high-fat diet exhibit minor retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes such as RPE vacuolization
|
vision/eye

|
cardiovascular system
|
• lesion size half that in Apoetm3(APOE*4)Mae after 3 months on an atherogenic diet
|
|
• small plaques, typically an accumulation of several foam cells are seen in 4 of 11 females aged 10-12 months; considerably less severe than seen in Apoetm1(APOE)Mae homozygotes
|
|
• after 12 weeks on a high fat/high cholesterol diet, develop significantly larger atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic sinus area than wild-type, indicating increased susceptibility to dietary-induced atherosclerosis
|
homeostasis/metabolism
immune system
|
• in response to lipopolysaccharide injection with a minimum after 3 hours
|
|
• in response to lipopolysaccharide injection with a minimum after 1 hour
|
homeostasis/metabolism
nervous system
|
• very little plaque development

|
nervous system
|
• increased number of neuroreactive microglia in cortex
• decreased number of neuroreactive microglia in thalamic region
|
|
• plaque deposition in cortical parenchyma increased 20%
• reduced deposition in cerebral microvasculature
• microglia are tightly associated with parenchymal plaque amyloid
|
|
• increased number of neuroreactive astrocytes in cortex
• decreased number of neuroreactive astrocytes in thalamic region

|
nervous system
|
• increased levels of Amyloid beta 1-40 in cortical extracts at 3 months of age
• increased ratio of Amyloid beta 40:42 in cortical extracts at 3 months of age
• deposition delayed until after 12 months of age
• less plaque development than in Tg(APPSWE)2576Kha, Apoetm3(APOE*4Mae mice
|
|
• decreased ratio of Amyloid beta 40:42 in cerebrospinal fluid at 3 months of age
