Although amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease, the physiological functions of this protein have yet to be fully elucidated. As previously reported, we established an embryonic carcinoma P19 cell line expressing the intracellular domain of APP (AICD). While neurons were differentiated from these cell lines with retinoic acid treatment, expression of AICD induced neuron-specific apoptosis. As the first step to identify the genes involved in this process, we evaluated AICD-induced changes in gene expression through cell death. The levels of expression of 41,256 transcripts were monitored by DNA microarray analysis. The expression of 277 genes showed up-regulation by more than 10-fold in the presence of AICD. Conversely, the expression of 341 genes showed down-regulation to less than one-tenth of the original level. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of 17 selected genes showed excellent agreement with the microarray results. These results suggest that AICD induces dynamic changes in gene expression, which may be closely correlated with AICD-induced neuron-specific apoptosis. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
