Evidence 0bd4e49285

Here we show that the protein deacetylase SIRT1 reduces tau acetylation in a mouse model of neurodegeneration. SIRT1 deficiency in the brain aggravates synapse loss and behavioral disinhibition, and SIRT1 overexpression ameliorates propagation of tau pathology.

Evidence 323a2e86e7

SIRT1 deficiency exacerbates premature mortality, synapse loss, and behavioral disinhibition in tauP301S TG mice of both sexes. SIRT1 overexpression into the hippocampus reduces acetylated K174 tau and significantly attenuates the spread of tau pathology into anatomically connected brain regions of tauP301S transgenic mice of both sexes.

Evidence f6b2da4508

SIRT1 activation or elevation ameliorates pathology and neurodegeneration in AD (Qin et al., 2006; Kim et al., 2007). Loss of SIRT1 induces impairment of learning and memory (Gao et al., 2010; Michán et al., 2010).

Evidence 6311551b5e

After pretreating hTau neurons with oligo Aβ-42 (1000 ng/ml), Sirt3 levels were reduced (Fig. 6b and e). This reduction in Sirt3 was translated into an increase in total tau and Ac-tau.

Evidence 1de677a5c4

Sirt3 levels were reduced in the entorhinal cortex, the middle temporal gyrus, and the superior frontal gyrus of AD subjects compared to those of CN and was associated with poorer test scores of neuropsychological evaluation and the severity of tau pathology.
