Disease relevance of Tauopathies

 

Psychiatry related information on Tauopathies

 

High impact information on Tauopathies

  • However, neurodegeneration occurred without the neurofibrillary tangle formation that is seen in human disease and some rodent tauopathy models [7].
  • Thus, the ability of tau and alpha-synuclein to affect each other directly or indirectly might contribute to the overlap in the clinical and pathological features of tauopathies and synucleinopathies [8].
  • Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 by lithium correlates with reduced tauopathy and degeneration in vivo [9].
  • These results reveal a mechanism of regulation of tau phosphorylation and suggest that abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau could result from decreased tau O-GlcNAcylation, which probably is induced by deficient brain glucose uptake/metabolism in AD and other tauopathies [10].
  • Hsp70/CHIP may therefore play an important role in the pathogenesis of tauopathies and also represents a potential therapeutic target [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Tauopathies

  • By directly comparing modifiers isolated in the models of polyglutamine diseases and in a Drosophila model of tauopathy, we find a final common pathway of cell death involving apoptosis [12].
  • Region-specific Dissociation of Neuronal Loss and Neurofibrillary Pathology in a Mouse Model of Tauopathy [13].
  • Identification of small molecule inhibitors of heparin-induced assembly of tau will form a starting point for the development of mechanism-based therapies for the tauopathies [14].
  • Administration of the female sex steroid and potent neuroprotective agent, 17beta-estradiol, reduced ischemia-reperfusion-induced cerebral damage and the subsequent aberrant mitosis and tauopathies [15].
  • Sarkosyl-insoluble tau exhibited 2 major bands of 64 and 68 kDa and a minor 72 kDa band, similar to the pattern seen in a familial tauopathy associated with an intronic tau mutation [16].
 

Biological context of Tauopathies

 

Anatomical context of Tauopathies

 

Gene context of Tauopathies

  • We conclude that although the cellular origin of ApoE4 differentially affects regional amyloid pathology, ApoE4 acts on the disposition of amyloid peptides downstream from their excision from APP but without induction of tauopathy [25].
  • In NPC1, early-onset tauopathy is a constant feature [26].
  • We examined the immunoreactivity of ubiquitin-binding protein p62 and its association with ubiquitin (Ub), alpha-synuclein, and paired helical filament (PHF)-tau in the affected brain areas of human tauopathies and synucleinopathies [27].
  • Ubiquitin-binding protein p62 is present in neuronal and glial inclusions in human tauopathies and synucleinopathies [27].
  • These findings indicate that MAPK/ERK-P, SAPK/JNK-P and p-38-P are differentially expressed in association with tau deposits in tauopathies [28].
