Strain Description
Double transgenic mice are viable and fertile. At 6 months of age, double-transgenic mice show visible amyloid plaque deposition but are indistinguishable from nontransgenic animals in all cognitive measures. By 18 months, amyloid deposits were much higher in APPswe/PS1dE9 mice with statistically significant but mild decreases in cholinergic markers (cortex and hippocampus) and somatostatin levels (cortex). Performance of older double-transgenic mice is impaired in all cognitive tasks, and deficits in episodic-like memory tasks correlate with total amyloid-beta peptide loads in the brain.

Strain Development
Mutant amyloid precursor protein (APPswe) transgenic mice (line C3-3) express a chimeric mouse/human APP-695 with mutations linked to familial Alzheimers disease (KM 593/594 NL). The C3-3 line was backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice for 10 generations. Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) transgenic mice (line S-9) express human PSEN1 carrying the exon-9-deleted variant (PSEN1dE9) associated with familial Alzheimer's disease. Originally created on a hybrid strain background (C3H/HeJ;C57BL/6J), the S-9 line was backcrossed to C57BL/6J for six generations. Both are under the control of the mouse prion protein (PrP) promoter, directing transgene expression predominantly to CNS neurons. APPswe/PS1dE9 double transgenic mice were produced by mating APP-695 line C3-3 males to PS1dE9 line S-9 females, and then backcrossing double transgenic males to C57BL/6J mice for >10 generations before arriving at The Jackson Laboratory.

Gene & Allele Details

Allele Symbol Tg(APP695)3Dbo
Allele Name transgene insertion 3, David R Borchelt
Common Name(s) APP695; APP695swe; APPswe; Mo/HuAPPswe; line C3-3;
Mutation Made By David Borchelt,   McKnight Brain Inst, Univ of Florida
Strain of Origin(C57BL/6J x C3H/HeJ)F2
Expressed Gene APP695, amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein (chimeric), mouse/human chimera
Promoter Prnp, prion protein, mouse, laboratory
General Note Three transgenic lines were generated and designated by the authors lines Q2-2, E1-2 (Tg(Prnp-App/APPswe)E1-2Dbo) and C3-3.

This line was generated from foundernumber C3-3.

Transgenic mice develop amyloid deposits in brain tissue by 18-20 months of age.

Transgenic mice that are also transgenic for Tg(PSEN1)5Dboexpress both human presenilin 1 (A246E variant) and a chimeric amyloid precursor protein (APPSwe) under direction of the mouse prion protein promoter. Elevated levels of the AB1-42(43) peptide are detected in brain homogenates. By nine months of age, histological examination of brain tissue from these mice reveals numerous amyloid deposits resembling those observed in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The number of amyloid deposits increases dramatically between the ages of 10 and 12 months.

Molecular Note The transgene is composed of a cDNA encoding a chimeric APP protein regulated by the mouse prion promoter. The chimeric APP molecule was created by replacing sequences encoding the Abeta domain of a 695 amino acid isoform of the murine sequence with the cognate sequences of the human gene (mutations K595N, M596L). The human mutations are found in familial Alzheimer's disease. Transgene expression was observed in the brain and heart by Western blot analysis using a monoclonal antibody recognizing the human Abeta region. [MGI Ref ID J:80782]
 
Allele Symbol Tg(PSEN1dE9)S9Dbo
Allele Name transgene insertion S9, David R Borchelt
Common Name(s) PS1 transgene (line S-9); PS1-deltaE9; PS1dE9 transgene; PS1deltaE9 (line S-9); deltaE9; huPS1deltaE9; line S-9;
Mutation Made By David Borchelt,   McKnight Brain Inst, Univ of Florida
Strain of Origin(C57BL/6J x C3H/HeJ)F2
Expressed Gene PSEN1, presenilin 1, human
General Note

The deltaE9 PSEN1 protein variant fails to undergo endoproteolysis in cultured lymphoblasts from an affected human carrier and instead accumulates as the full-length, 40 kDa mutant protein (J:34323). Similarly, immunoblotting of of cortical and hippocampal extracts from transgenic mice under conditions that distinguish mouse and human full-length PSEN1 and their endoproteolytic derivatives demonstrates failure of thetransgenic protein to undergo endoproteolysis. (J:104147)

The amount of full-length mutant human PSEN1 in brains of deltaE9 PSEN1 transgenic mice exceeds by ~60% the cumulative amount of the full-length human PSEN1 and its N-terminal derivative in brains of transgenic mice expressing wild type human PSEN1. (J:104147)

Molecular Note The coding sequence of the transgene is derived from the cDNA of the familial Alzheimer disease- (FAD-) associated deltaE9 variant of human presenilin 1, which has a splice acceptor mutation upstream of exon 9 that results in a protein lacking amino acids 290-319. The mutant cDNA replaces the coding region of the mouse prion protein (Prp) gene in a construct that contains ~6 kb of genomic DNA upstream of the primary PRP translation start site and includes the noncoding first exon and first intron and, following the inserted PSEN1 sequence, ~3 kb of 3' untranslated sequence; this construct has been shown to drive expression in both neurons and glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS).

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryWhen maintaining a live colony, The Jackson Laboratory will maintain this line by mating (APP695/0, +/+) females with (+/+, PSEN1/0) males (or reciprocal). The transgenes are not linked (only 1 in 4 pups is a double transgenic); and the integration site is unknown. The Jackson Laboratory will distribute mice with the following genotypes: (PARENT 1) hemizygous APP695, wildtype PSEN1; (PARENT 2) wildtype APP695, hemizygous PSEN1; and (OFFSPRING) double hemizygotes. Control mice can be generated from this breeding pair or investigators can consider C57BL/6J (Stock 000664). While the donating investigator warns that transgenic females can exhibit suboptimal mothering of litters, no such complications have been observed in our colonies to date at The Jackson Laboratory (Jun 2006). Homozygosity may result in sterile males and reduced viability of females, and should be avoided for breeding stocks.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.
