Accumulation of tau induced in neurites by microglial proinflammatory mediators
Abstract
Aggregated fibrillary microtubule‐associated protein tau is the major component of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease. The exact molecular mechanism of tau aggregation is unknown. Microglial cell activation and migration toward amyloid‐β plaques precede the appearance of dysmorphic neurites and formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Here, we analyzed the accumulation of tau at a distance range of expected spontaneous aggregation by fluorescence lifetime‐based Förster resonance energy transfer in cultured primary murine neurons cotransfected with the human tau gene tagged to the green fluorescent protein variants Citrine (tau‐Citrine) and Cerulean (tau‐Cerulean). No spontaneous accumulation of cotransfected tau‐Citrine and tau‐Cerulean was detected in untreated neurons. Coculture of neurons with activated microglia induced aggregation of tau in neurites. Treatment of neurons with tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) stimulated reactive oxygen species generation and resulted in the accumulation of tau‐Citrine and tau‐Cerulean in neurites, which was inhibited by neutralization of TNF and the free radical inhibitor 6‐hydroxy‐2,5,7,8‐tetramethylchromane‐2‐carboxylic acid (Trolox). These data demonstrate that activated microglia and the microglial‐derived proinflammatory cytokine TNF can induce accumulation of the aggregation‐prone tau molecules in neurites via reactive oxygen species.— Gorlovoy, P.,Larionov, S., Pham, T.

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.
