Differential effect of three‐repeat and four‐repeat tau on mitochondrial axonal transport

Open access

Abstract

Tau protein is present in six different splice forms in the human brain and interacts with microtubules via either 3 or 4 microtubule binding repeats. An increased ratio of 3 repeat to 4 repeat isoforms is associated with neurodegeneration in inherited forms of frontotemporal dementia. Tau over‐expression diminishes axonal transport in several systems, but differential effects of 3 repeat and 4 repeat isoforms have not been studied. We examined the effects of tau on mitochondrial transport and found that both 3 repeat and 4 repeat tau change normal mitochondrial distribution within the cell body and reduce mitochondrial localization to axons; 4 repeat tau has a greater effect than 3 repeat tau. Further, we observed that the 3 repeat and 4 repeat tau cause different alterations in retrograde and anterograde transport dynamics with 3 repeat tau having a slightly stronger effect on axon transport dynamics. Our results indicate that tau‐induced changes in axonal transport may be an underlying theme in neurodegenerative diseases associated with isoform specific changes in tau’s interaction with microtubules.

  • Mitochondrial abnormalities, synaptic loss and dysfunction, altered axonal transport, and activation of cell death pathways have been implicated as consequences of tau mislocalization or oligomerization.

    “Mitochondrial abnormalities, synaptic loss and dysfunction, altered axonal transport, and activation of cell death pathways (including caspase activation and inflammatory responses) have all been directly or indirectly implicated as consequences of tau mislocalization or oligomerization (20, 40, 43–52).”

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.
