APPPS1 mice exhibit an age-dependent increase of p217 + tau in the CSF. Male and female APPPS1 at the age of 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 20–22 months (8–11 mice/group) and non-tg littermates (5–10 mice/group) were used. This is a new cohort of mice and different from the one shown in Fig. 1. a Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant age × genotype interaction (F[5, 95] = 41.7; p < 0.0001). CSF p217 + tau was significantly increased starting from 6 months on compared to the youngest group, however, only at 12 months of age there was a significant difference between APPPS1 and non-tg littermates (Tukey post hoc test, p < 0.0001 for both). b One-way ANOVA revealed a significant age effect on p217 + tau/t-tau ratio in APPPS1 mice (F[5, 48] = 16.5, p < 0.0001). For t-tau see Supplementary Fig. 1, online resource. CSF p217 + tau/t-tau increased between 6 and 12 months of age (Tukey test, p = 0.0043) reaching an apparent plateau. Shown are the geometric means ± confidence interval; statistics in a and b are based on log transformed values. c The relationship between CSF p217 + tau and t-tau showed a strong positive correlation (Spearman rank correlation test: ρ = 0.94, p < 0.0001)
