Effect of PreP overexpression and activity on learning memory in mAPP mice. (A) Radial water maze test in the indicated Tg mice at 12–13 months of age. *P < 0.05 versus Tg mAPP or mAPP/PE mice. N = 8–10 mice per group. (B–E). Results of the MWM test showed the average latency to escape to locate the hidden platform during each day of training sessions (B), *P < 0.05 compared with Tg mAPP or Tg mAPP/PE mice, the mean number of mice crossing the target during probe trials (C), and time spent in the quadrant where the hidden platform is located (D). Tg mAPP and mAPP/PE mice showed much less preference for the target quadrant compared with nonTg mice. MAPP/PreP mice demonstrated an increase in the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant compared with mAPP or mAPP/PE mice. (E) Pattern of representative searching traces for the indicated Tg mice in search of the target. N = 8–15 mice per group.
