Whole-transcriptomic analysis of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network in 4-month APP/PS1 mouse hippocampus

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, and the molecular mechanisms of AD remain unclear. Accumulating evidence indicates the involvement of non-coding RNAs in AD pathogenesis. Here, we applied RNA-seq to explore the expression changes of circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA simultaneously, and investigate competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks in hippocampus of 4-month APP/PS1 and wild-type mice. Three male APP/PS1 (APPswe and PSEN1dE9) transgenic mice and three wild type littermates were used for RNA-seq.
