Using neuroblastoma (N) 2aSW and APP/PS1 transgenic (Tg) mice as in vitro and in vivo AD models, we found that the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)1/2/4 and cyclin A2/B1/D3/E1 was increased while the protein expression of p18 and p21 was decreased, which led to enhanced cell cycle re-entry in a β-amyloid protein (Aβ)-dependent mechanism. Here, CCNA2 is linked to neuroblastoma.
