A novel model for DNA damageaccumulation in Alzheimer's disease
Description: In the early stage of Alzheimer's disease, amyloid beta induced DNA damages in neuronal cells, which are repaired by BRCA1. However, these mechanism was deteriorated by BRCA1 co-aggregation with phosphorylated tau in the advanced stage of Alzheimer's disease. We developed a novel model for DNA damage accumulation in neuronal cells. We also developed a method for quantification of DNA damage accumulation using FACS, and analyzed genome-wide distribution of DNA damages and BRCA1 binding regions.
