KChIP3 fosters neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction in the 5XFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
KChIP3 may promote brain inflammation and nerve cell communication problems in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Abstract
levels were significantly elevated in the hippocampus of 5XFAD mice, correlating with β-amyloid burden and neuroinflammation.
- KChIP3 is identified as a key driver of Alzheimer's disease pathology in the .
- Genetic deletion of KChIP3 resulted in reduced β-amyloid plaque deposition and lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- Restoration of synaptic markers was observed following KChIP3 deletion, indicating improved neuronal function.
- KChIP3 may sustain neuroinflammation by increasing pro-inflammatory gene expression.
- Deletion of KChIP3 was associated with enhanced dendritic complexity, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive performance.
