Analysis of hippocampi of 2-month-old young and 15-month-old middle-aged animals. The hippocampal formation is one of the brain areas most affected by aging. Results provide insight into molecular changes accompanying the early stages of age-related memory decline.

(Submitter supplied) We carried out a global survey of age-related changes in mRNA levels in the C57BL/6NIA mouse hippocampus and found a difference in the hippocampal gene expression profile between 2-month-old young mice and 15-month-old middle-aged mice correlated with an age-related cognitive deficit in hippocampal-based explicit memory formation. Middle-aged mice displayed a mild but specific deficit in spatial memory in the Morris water maze. more...

(Submitter supplied) The aim of this study was to investigate whether the differences in memory decline associated with aging are a result of differences in gene expression. We first categorized age-unimpaired and age-impaired rats based on their performance in the Morris Water Maze and then isolated messenger RNA from the CA1 hippocampal region of each animal to interrogate Affymetrix microarrays. Microarray analysis (p<0.005) identified a set of 50 genes that were transcribed differently in age-unimpaired animals that had successfully learned a spatial task compared to aged learning-impaired animals and a variety of groups designed to control for all non-learning aspects of exposure to the water maze paradigm. more...

(Submitter supplied) The mechanisms underlying age-associated memory impairment are not well understood. We have shown that the onset of memory disturbances in the aging brain is associated with altered hippocampal chromatin plasticity. During learning, aged mice display a specific deregulation of histone H4 lysine 12 (H4K12) acetylation. To analyze if deregulated H4K12 acetylation impacts on learning-induced gene-expression required for memory consolidation we performed a high-density oligonucleotide microarray to compare the entire hippocampal gene-expression profile of 3 and 16-month-old mice during memory consolidation.

(Submitter supplied) Male Fischer 344 rats aged 4 months (young, n=10), 14 months (mid-aged, n=10), and 24 months (aged, n=10) were trained sequentially on two tasks: Morris Spatial Water Maze (SWM) and Object Memory Task (OMT). The training/testing sequence lasted 7 d, and hippocampal tissue was collected 24 hr later. Training and testing occured on each day except for days 2 and 3 of the 7 d sequence.

(Submitter supplied) In rats, learning and memory performance decline during normal aging, which makes this rodent species a suitable model to evaluate therapeutic strategies. In aging rats, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), is known to significantly improve spatial memory accuracy as compared to control counterparts. A constellation of gene expression changes underlie the hippocampal phenotype of aging but no studies on the effects of IGF-I on the hippocampal transcriptome of old rodents have been documented. more...

(Submitter supplied) Recent microarray studies in the hippocampus of rodents or Alzheimer’s disease (AD) subjects have identified a substantial number of cellular pathways/processes correlated with aging and cognitive decline. However, the temporal relationships among these expression changes or with cognitive impairment have not been studied in depth. Here, using Affymetrix microarrays, immunohistochemistry and Morris water maze cognitive testing across 5 age groups of male F344 rats (n=9-15/group, one microarray per animal), we systematically analyzed the temporal sequence and cellular localization of aging changes in expression. more...

Analysis of hippocampi from F344 males, at 5 age points across the adult lifespan, tested on the Morris water maze (MWM) task. MWM is a dorsal hippocampal-dependent, spatial memory task. MWM performance showed an age effect. Results provide insight into the molecular basis of cognitive aging.

(Submitter supplied) Environmental enrichment has been reported to delay or restore age-related cognitive deficits, however, a mechanism to account for the cause and progression of normal cognitive decline and its preservation by environmental enrichment is lacking. Using genome-wide SAGE-Seq, we provide a global assessment of differentially expressed genes altered with age and environmental enrichment in the hippocampus. more...
