Public transcriptomics studies have shown that several genes display pronounced gender differences in their expression in the human brain, and these differences may influence the clinical manifestations and risk for neuronal disorders. While disease relevant implications have already been proposed for gender differences in hormone levels, life style and genetic diversity, a systems level analysis of brain gene expression disparities between the genders in the context of brain disorders like Alzheimers disease (AD) has not yet been conducted.

View SamplesThe amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease (AD). Processing of APP by - and -secretase activities results in the production of -amyloid (A), the main constituent of Alzheimer plaques, but also in the generation of the APP intracellular domain (AICD). Recently, it has been demonstrated that AICD has transactivation potential, however, the targets of AICD dependent gene regulation and hence the physiological role of AICD remain largely unknown. In this work we analysed transcriptome changes during AICD dependent gene regulation using a human neural cell culture system inducible for expression of AICD, its co-activator Fe65, or the combination of both. Induction of AICD was associated with increased expression of genes with known function in the organization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton as well as genes involved in the regulation of apoptosis.
