The same protocol was performed according to Muthukumaran et al. 2018. Experiments performed on animals were approved by the University of Windsor's Animal Care Committee in accordance with the Canadian Council of Animal Care guidelines. Twelve male double transgenic APP/PS-1 mice (Jackson Laboratory; strain: B6C3-Tg(APPswe,PSEN1dE9)85Dbo/Mmjax) and six male C57BL/6 wild-type counterpart mice (Charles River Laboratories) were housed in groups of three or four. Transgenic mice were housed separately to avoid any social hierarchies due to functional neurological changes. The home cages contained baby-food jars, overturned cardboard cup holders, and cardboard tubes to provide environmental enrichment. Mice had continuous access to food and water, and their weight was measured once a week. The colony room was maintained at 20°C, and mice were under a controlled 12 hr : 12 hr dark-light cycle. Following the experimental period, the mice (approximately 18 months old) were euthanized and perfused using ice-cold PBS containing 28 μg/mL heparin (Sigma-Aldrich, Canada, Cat. No. H3393) followed by tissue fixation with ice-cold 10% formaldehyde made in PBS.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
APP/PS1 mice (The Jackson Laboratory; strain B6C3-Tg(APPswe,PSEN1dE9)85Dbo/J; stock number 004462) express a chimeric mouse/human APP gene harboring the Swedish double mutation K595N/M596L (APPswe) and a human PS1 gene harboring the exon 9 deletion (PS1dE9), both under the control of the mouse prion protein promoter (MoPrP.Xho) [67 (link)–69 (link)]. PV-Cre mice (The Jackson Laboratory; strain B6.129P2-Pvalbtm1(cre)Arbr/J; stock number 017320) express Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse parvalbumin (Pvalb) promoter, directing Cre expression specifically to parvalbumin expressing cells [70 (link)]. All mouse lines were maintained on a C57BL/6 background. Hemizygous APP/PS1 mice were crossed with hemizygous PV-Cre mice to produce double-transgenic mice and single-transgenic controls. All experiments were performed with single-housed male mice and approved by the Central Committee for Animal Experiments (CCD) and the Animal Welfare Body (IVD) of the VU University Amsterdam.

APPswe/PS1dE9 C57BL/6 J double-transgenic (APP/PS1) mice at different ages ranging from 1-month to 6-month old and age-match wild type (WT) mice were used in the present study. Male heterozygous APP/PS1 mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA) and used to mate with female C57BL/6 mice to generate heterozygous mice and WT littermates for this research. The genotypes of APP/PS1 animals were identified by standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of genomic DNA isolated from mouse tails. All mice were housed in groups and accessed to food and water ad libitum in a 12:12 h light–dark (light on at 8: 00 am) cycle, provided with controlled temperature and humidity.

In the present study, the double transgenic APPswe/PS1ΔE9 (APP/PS1) AD mouse model, introduced by Jankowsky et al. in 2004 [32 (link)], was used, its pathology and behavioral deficits having been well characterized. At 6 months of age, the mice develop Aβ deposits, gliosis, and cognitive deficits, which are especially detectable in the Morris water maze (MWM). The pathology and cognitive deficits progressively intensify with age [32 (link)–35 (link)]. APP/PS1 mice were ordered from the Jackson Laboratory (Jackson Laboratory, USA) and bred in-house, in a controlled environment, on a light/dark cycle (12/12 h), with 54% humidity and a temperature of 22 °C. Food and water were available ad libitum. All experiments were performed in accordance with the German Law on the protection of animals (TierSchG §§ 7–9) and were approved by a local ethics committee (LANUV, North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, reference number: 84-02.04.2011.A359).
Aged male APP/PS1 mice (n = 21) and their non-transgenic littermates (n = 11) were tested in the present study (average age at treatment initiation: 18 months ± 3 weeks). During the study, all mice were housed single caged.

Transgenic Alzheimer's Mouse Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal procedures were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Cleveland Clinic. Adult male Sprague–Dawley (250–300 g, 2–3 mo of age, Charles River) rats were used, and all experiments were performed during the light cycle. Tg-APPsw/PSEN1DE9 (APP/PS1, MMRRC Stock No: 41848-JAX), and C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory, regularly maintained and studied at six months old. Tg-APPsw/PSEN1DE9 mice were obtained as hemizygote by crossing the transgenics with animals on a C57BL/6 background. During experiment, non-transgenic littermates were used as the control for the transgenic mice with the same age (6 months old) and gender ratio (male/female ratio about 1). Metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 mutant mice (Grm1−/−, C57BL/6J-Grm1rcw−3J/GrsrJ, Jackson Laboratory stock No. 005521) crossed with APP/PS1 mice to generate the new strain (APP/PS1/Grm1−/−), which was validated by genotyping following the protocols provided by Jackson Laboratory. Experiments were conducted in mice at the age of 6 mo. The animals were randomly assigned to different groups with specific treatment, and another party blinded the experimenter to the individual groups. No statistical methods were used to predetermine sample sizes, but our sample sizes are similar to those reported in previous publications [30 (link),3 (link)].
