"Here, we report that i) X11 -/- /X11L -/- mice suffer from spontaneous epileptic seizures along with malfunction of HCN channel activity; ii) HCN1 can form a complex with APP and X11 or X11L in the murine brain; iii) HCN1 -/- gene knockout mice show enhanced Aβ generation; iv) overexpression of HCN1 in Neuro2a (N2a) cells decreases Aβ generation, whereas blockage of HCN1 channel activity in N2a cells restores the level of Aβ production; v) the level of HCN1 diminishes significantly in the temporal cortex of cynomolgus monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis ) during aging; and vi) HCN1 levels are significantly reduced in the brains of sporadic AD patients compared with the brains of age-matched healthy subjects."
