Time-dependent olfactory proteomics in Tg2576 mice

Olfaction is often deregulated in Alzheimer´s disease (AD) patients, being also impaired in transgenic Tg2576 AD mouse model, which overexpress the Swedish mutated form of human amyloid precursor protein (APP). However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that accompany the neurodegeneration of olfactory structures in Tg2576 mice. For that, we have applied proteome-wide approaches to probe molecular disturbances in the olfactory bulb (OB) dissected from Tg2576 mice respect to age matched wild-type littermates (2 and 6 months of age).
