Pathological hallmarks of AD, including plaques and
loss of
synaptic markers, are readily apparent at nine months of age
in huAPP / PS1 mice along with clear deficits
in spatial memory when compared to wild type controls [7, 10, 11, 31].
mThy1 - AS mice administered only control IgG1 suffered dendritic atrophy (as suggested by reduced staining with MAP2) and
synaptic loss (evaluated with postsynaptic density - 95 (PSD - 95) and synaptophysin) across several regions of the brain, but this neurodegenerative damage was substantially prevented
in mice administered 1H7, 5C1, or 9E4.
Based upon activity
in multiple CNS toxicity assays, we identified an exceptionally potent, orally active, neurotrophic molecule called J147 that facilitates memory
in normal rodents, and prevents the
loss of
synaptic proteins and cognitive decline when administered to three - month - old APP / swePS1ΔE9 mice for seven months [7].

in the neurodevelopmental stage caused the
loss of
synaptic proteins but failed to alter
synaptic proteins

in abolished amyloid pathology
in AD model mice, it also results
in neurodevelopmental phenotypes such as hypomyelination and

It is likely that a combination of several factors (e.g. age - related changes at the level of gene expression, infectious agents, toxic compounds, and head trauma) affects the neuronal milieu and initiates neuropathological processes leading to the formation of toxic tau and amyloid β species, reduction of

loss resulting
in development of sporadic AD.»
