Summary of data on PV and CR expression in neuronal subpopulations

Region Tissue source Marker Outcome
CA1-2-SP APPSL mice PV No difference in the number of PV-ir neurons with age
PS1he KI mice PV 43.8% reduction in number of PV-ir neurons with age
PS1ho KI mice PV 49.4% reduction in number of PV-ir neurons with age
APPSL/PS1ho KI mice PV 42.7% reduction in number of PV-ir neurons with age
DG-SG and hilus PS1ho KI mice CR 37.8% reduction in number of CR-ir neurons with age
APPSL/PS1ho KI mice CR 51.6% reduction in number of CR-ir neurons with age; 49.3% reduction in density of CR-ir neurons with age
Human AD brains PV PV-ir neurons distributed within or close to the stratum granulare; no change in density from AD cases compared to controls
Human AD brains CR CR-ir neurons mainly distributed in the hilar region of the dentate gyrus; 63.2% reduction in the densities of CR-ir neurons from AD cases compared to controls

DG-SG dentate gyrus-stratum granulare and hilus, CA1-2 area CA1-2 (stratum pyramidale), PV parvalbumin, CR calretinin
