ABI3 deletion in TgCRND8 mice is associated with reduced amyloid plaque pathology and altered glial response
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several rare coding variants in a cluster of immune-related genes that are significantly associated with Alzheimer’s disease. This includes the risk variant (S209F) in ABI3 , a gene encoding the Abl Interactor family member 3 protein that is highly expressed in microglia, but little is known about its function in these cells and its association with AD. We have investigated the effects of ABI3 deletion on AD pathological features in the transgenic (Tg) CRND8 APP mouse model by immunofluorescence (IF) staining and confocal microscopy. We have observed that ABI3 expression is localized to microglia in the mouse brain and that the ABI3 immunoreactivity levels are increased in the TgCRND8 mice. The loss of ABI3 leads to a significant reduction of amyloid plaque numbers and size in the 9-month-old TgCRND8 mice. This is also accompanied by a reduced number of microglia clustering around the plaques. On the basis of these observations, we hypothesize that the loss of ABI3 may lead to changes in microglial behavior which directly or indirectly leads to reduced AD pathology in mice.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
