Inhibition of cholesterol esterification by genetic deletion of ACAT1 prevents early stage Tau pathology in Tau mutant mice through unknown mechanisms.
“inhibition of cholesterol esterification by genetic deletion of ACAT1 prevents early stage Tau pathology in Tau mutant mice through unknown mechanisms (Shibuya et al., 2015).”
From Cholesterol Metabolism Is a Druggable Axis that Independently Regulates Tau and Amyloid-β in iPSC-Derived Alzheimer’s Disease Neurons (2019) · cites this paper as Shibuya et al., 2015
Results §3.7 (page unavailable) reports that Acat1 knockout reduced P301L-tau protein in young 3XTg-AD mice, supporting an early-stage effect. It does not establish that tau pathology was prevented: phosphorylation was not detectable in either group at two months, and older mice showed no reduction in phosphorylated tau or neurofibrillary tangles. Results §3.5 also links the reduction to increased autophagosome formation, so describing the mechanism as wholly unknown overlooks the mechanism the paper proposes. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn an AD-mouse model, genetic inhibition of CE by ACAT1 reduces tauopathy.
“In an AD-mouse model, genetic inhibition of CE by acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) reduces tauopathy34.”

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.
