Tau Kinetics in Neurons and the Human Central Nervous System
Open accessAbstract
We developed stable isotope labeling and mass spectrometry approaches to measure the kinetics of multiple isoforms and fragments of tau in the human central nervous system (CNS) and in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons. Newly synthesized tau is truncated and released from human neurons in 3 days. Although most tau proteins have similar turnover, 4R tau isoforms and phosphorylated forms of tau exhibit faster turnover rates, suggesting unique processing of these forms that may have independent biological activities. The half-life of tau in control human iPSC-derived neurons is 6.74 ± 0.45 days and in human CNS is 23 ± 6.4 days. In cognitively normal and Alzheimer's disease participants, the production rate of tau positively correlates with the amount of amyloid plaques, indicating a biological link between amyloid plaques and tau physiology.

“One of the significant hurdles in modeling AD with iPSC-derived neurons or NGN2-induced neurons for the past decade has been their inability to produce the 4R Tau isoform found in adult human brains [19–22]; only the fetal 0N3R splicing isoform is produced, even after one year of differentiation [19].”

“Thus, in relation to sporadic AD, this study adds further support to the hypothesis that CSF p-tau is closely related to Aβ-mediated tau release from neurons19 and challenges the notion of being simply a state marker of NFT.”

“This is important because little 4R tau is expressed in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived models without a splice-site mutation (lovino et al., 2015; Sato et al., 2018; Sposito et al., 2015; Verheyen et al., 2018).”

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.
