Overactivated mitogen-activated protein kinase by anisomycin induces tau hyperphosphorylation.
One of the pathological feathers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which consist of paired helical filaments (PHFs) formed by hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau. To study the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in tau hyperphosphorylation and the underlying mechanism, wild type mouse neuroblastoma cells (N2a) were dealt with different...
متن کاملInsulin dysfunction induces in vivo tau hyperphosphorylation through distinct mechanisms.
Hyperphosphorylated tau is the major component of paired helical filaments in neurofibrillary tangles found in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, and tau hyperphosphorylation is thought to be a critical event in the pathogenesis of the disease. The large majority of AD cases is late onset and sporadic in origin, with aging as the most important risk factor. Insulin resistance, impaired glucose to...
متن کاملFormaldehyde induces hyperphosphorylation and polymerization of Tau protein both in vitro and in vivo.
BACKGROUND Chronic formaldehyde exposure leads to memory impairment and abnormal elevation of endogenous formaldehyde has been found in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Hyperphosphorylated Tau protein with subsequent aggregates as neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) is one of the typical pathological characteristics in AD brains. The mechanism underlying abnormally elevated concentra...
متن کاملHyperphosphorylation of Intrinsically Disordered Tau Protein Induces an Amyloidogenic Shift in Its Conformational Ensemble
Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) whose primary physiological role is to stabilize microtubules in neuronal axons at all stages of development. In Alzheimer's and other tauopathies, tau forms intracellular insoluble amyloid aggregates known as neurofibrillary tangles, a process that appears in many cases to be preceded by hyperphosphorylation of tau monomers. Understanding the sh...
متن کاملDimethyl Sulfoxide Induces Both Direct and Indirect Tau Hyperphosphorylation
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is widely used as a solvent or vehicle for biological studies, and for treatment of specific disorders, including traumatic brain injury and several forms of amyloidosis. As Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains are characterized by deposits of β-amyloid peptides, it has been suggested that DMSO could be used as a treatment for this devastating disease. AD brains are also ch...
