Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-associated neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid plaques, tau hyperphosphorylation, and synaptic dysfunction. Most available cellular AD models lack aging features, limiting their ability to recapitulate key pathological mechanisms. Here we applied high-resolution mass spectrometry-based multiplexed proteomics and phosphoproteomics in a discovery setting to characterize an accelerated AD (acAD) model that combines amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilin (PSEN) mutations with progerin, an aging-associated Lamin A mutant that accelerates aging. Across four phenotypes (control, progerin, classic AD, and acAD), we quantified 6,081 proteins and detected phosphorylation dynamics. Relative to the classic model, acAD exhibited broader proteome remodeling, including amplified downregulation of synaptic and cytoskeletal proteins, upregulation of transcription and translation machinery, and pathway-level changes in neuronal signaling, mitochondrial dynamics, and neuroinflammation. Phosphoproteome analysis revealed widespread changes in RNA-binding and cytoskeletal proteins, aligning with recent data from two murine AD models. These findings show that acAD captures canonical AD phenotypes while uniquely modeling age-related inflammation and phosphorylation, providing a resource to accelerate studies of proteome-level mechanisms of AD progression and to inform strategies targeting cytoskeletal and inflammatory pathways.
