Article Abstract
We herein present behavioral data on whether memantine, an adamantane derivative and medical NMDA-receptor antagonist, improves spatial and latent learning deficits in amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 2 double-transgenic mice (PS2Tg2576 mice). In PS2Tg2576 mice, early amyloid-β protein (Aβ) deposition at 2-3 months of age and progressive accumulation at about 5 months of age has been shown. Thus, PS2Tg2576 mice were subjected to Morris water maze (MWM) test for spatial memory and the water-finding test for latent memory testing at ages 3 and 5-6 months. In addition, memantine (30 mg/kg/day, ) was administered 3-4 weeks before commencing the behavioral tasks to check for effects on cognitive function. The information provided in this paper adds to the literature and can be used for the selection of animal models and behavioral paradigms for Alzheimer's disease (AD) research.

RNA aptamers have garnered attention for diagnostic applications due to their ability to recognize diverse targets. Oligomers of 42-mer amyloid β-protein (Aβ42), whose accumulation is relevant to the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), are among the most difficult molecules for aptamer recognition because they are prone to aggregate in heterogeneous forms. In addition to designing haptens for in vitro selection of aptamers, the difficulties involved in determining their effect on Aβ42 oligomerization impede aptamer research.

We herein present behavioral data regarding whether COA-Cl, a novel adenosine-like nucleic acid analog that promotes angiogenesis and features neuroprotective roles, improves cognitive and behavioral deficits in a murine model for Alzheimer׳s disease (AD). COA-Cl induced significant spatial memory improvement in the amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 2 double-transgenic mouse model of AD (PS2Tg2576 mice). Correspondingly, non-spatial novel object cognition test performance also significantly improved in COA-Cl-treated PS2Tg2576 mice; however, these mice demonstrated no significant changes in physical activity or motor performance.

Presenilin 1 and presenilin 2 (PS1 and PS2) play a critical role in -secretase-mediated cleavage of amyloid- precursor protein (APP) and the subsequent generation of -amyloid peptides. The purpose of the present study was to test whether PS2 mutation accelerates the onset of contextual fear memory deficits in a mouse model of AD that expresses a mutation (K670N/M671L) of the human APP with the Swedish mutation (Tg2576 mice). In the present study, an APP/PS2 double-transgenic mouse model (PS2Tg2576) was generated by crossbreeding transgenic mice carrying the human mutant PS2 (N141I) with Tg2576 mice.

A relationship between Alzheimer's disease and herpes simplex virus infection has been pointed out. We established a model of Alzheimer's disease with a latent herpesvirus infection using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (PS2Tg2576) and examined the changes in amyloid β (Aβ) in the brain. We crossbred female PS2 mice with male Tg2576 hemi mice and chose PS2Tg2576 mice.
