Microarray analysis was used to identify genes differentially expressed in the hippocampus of aged rats showing diverse long-term (3 and 6 hours) spatial-associative memory performance in a single trial inhibitory avoidance task. The transcription of 43 genes (including genes functionally linked to signal transduction, cell growth and differentiation, translation, energy metabolism and nucleic acid processing) resulted significantly up-regulated in good vs. bad performing animals, whereas that of 18 genes (including genes functionally linked to transcription, cell growth and differentiation, apoptosis and protein transport) resulted significantly down-regulated. The differential expression of 14 of these genes was confirmed by real time PCR.

Abstract

Microarray analysis was used to identify genes differentially expressed in the hippocampus of aged rats showing diverse long-term (3 and 6 hours) spatial-associative memory performance in a single trial inhibitory avoidance task. The transcription of 43 genes (including genes functionally linked to signal transduction, cell growth and differentiation, translation, energy metabolism and nucleic acid processing) resulted significantly up-regulated in good vs. bad performing animals, whereas that of 18 genes (including genes functionally linked to transcription, cell growth and differentiation, apoptosis and protein transport) resulted significantly down-regulated. The differential expression of 14 of these genes was confirmed by real time PCR.
