Nosustrophine regulated AD-related APOE and PSEN2 gene expression in young and older APP/BIN1/COPS5 mice, inflammation-related (NOS3 and COX-2) gene expression in 3–4-month-old mice only, global (5mC)- and de novo DNA methylation (DNMT3a), HDAC3 expression and HDAC activity in 3–4-month-old mice; and SIRT1 expression and acetylated histone H3 protein levels in 8–9-month-old mice. This evidence concerns the gene APOE and Alzheimer disease.
