NFTs are highly correlated with the rate of ventricular enlargement, an indicator of brain atrophy and hallmark of AD pathology (Silbert et al., 2003) PubMed:30126037
The DQ-dependent reduction in cortical NFTs corresponded with decreased ventricular volume pathology (28% decrease, P = 0.05, Figure 5d, f) and a reduction in cortical brain atrophy (compared to controls: P = 0.0092 and P = 0.0274, vehicle and DQ, respectively; Figure S5a) PubMed:30126037
Further, when plotted against brain weight, Cdkn2a expression was a strong predictor of brain atrophy across mouse lines (P < 0.0001, R2 = 0.5615; Figure 4f) PubMed:30126037
The reduced tau pathology corresponded with 60% lower Cdkn2a expression (P = 0.0041, Figure 4a), decreased SASP (Figure S4) and decreased brain atrophy (tauNFT-Mapt0/0: 0.4058 ± 0.009 versus age-matched tauNFT Maptwt/wt: 0.3451 ± 0.0116; 17.5% difference, P = 0.0143, Figure 4b) PubMed:30126037
