Tau isoform profile and phosphorylation state in dementia pugilistica recapitulate Alzheimer's disease
Abstract
Insights into mechanisms of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) caused by genetic mutations have emerged rapidly compared to sporadic AD. Indeed, despite identification of several sporadic AD risk factors, it remains enigmatic how or why they predispose to neurodegenerative disease. For example, traumatic brain injury (TBI) predisposes to AD, and recurrent TBI in career boxers may cause a progressive memory disorder associated with AD-like brain pathology known as dementia pugilistica (DP). Although the reasons for this are unknown, repeated TBI may cause DP by mechanisms similar to those involved in AD. To investigate this possibility, we compared the molecular profile of tau pathologies in DP with those in AD and showed that the same tau epitopes map to filamentous tau inclusions in AD and DP brains, while the abnormal tau proteins isolated from DP brains are indistinguishable from the six abnormally phosphorylated brain tau isoforms in AD brains. Thus, these data suggest that recurrent TBI may cause DP by activating pathological mechanisms similar to those that cause brain degeneration due to accumulations of filamentous tau lesions in AD, and similar, albeit attenuated, activation of these processes by a single TBI may increase susceptibility to sporadic AD decades after the event.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
