Enhanced Neurofibrillary Degeneration in Transgenic Mice Expressing Mutant Tau and APP

Jada Lewis,* Dennis W. Dickson,* Wen-Lang Lin, Louise Chisholm, Anthony Corral, Graham Jones, Shu-Hui Yen, Naruhiko Sahara, Lisa Skipper, Debra Yager, Chris Eckman, John Hardy, Mike Hutton,dagger Eileen McGowan

JNPL3 transgenic mice expressing a mutant tau protein, which develop neurofibrillary tangles and progressive motor disturbance, were crossed with Tg2576 transgenic mice expressing mutant beta -amyloid precursor protein (APP), thus modulating the APP-Abeta (beta -amyloid peptide) environment. The resulting double mutant (tau/APP) progeny and the Tg2576 parental strain developed Abeta deposits at the same age; however, relative to JNPL3 mice, the double mutants exhibited neurofibrillary tangle pathology that was substantially enhanced in the limbic system and olfactory cortex. These results indicate that either APP or Abeta influences the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. The interaction between Abeta and tau pathologies in these mice supports the hypothesis that a similar interaction occurs in Alzheimer's disease.
