Evidence 9a7de2bf7c

Rab7a (Rodriguez et al., 2017) and Rab1a (Mohamed et al., 2017) have been recently implicated in tau release, further suggesting that tau release involves vesicle transport.

Evidence 571dfd4eb4

Tau from the CSF (Saman et al., 2012) and blood of patients with AD (Fiandaca et al., 2015) is associated with exosomes

Evidence d868fb38d9

starvation or lysosomal dysfunction increases tau release

Evidence c450a5a060

N2a cells over-expressing tau (Wang et al., 2017) and microglia also release tau in an exosome-dependent manner

Evidence 83307b103e

Tau is well-recognized for its role in assembling/stabilizing microtubules although tau single knockout mice do not show major phenotypic changes in neuronal microtubule stability because of a putative functional redundancy

Evidence 6faeadb8e5

In addition, stimulating neuronal activity in either cultured neurons or in vivo also enhances tau release

Evidence 1437a7b6ea

this observation suggests that the activity-dependent release of tau participates in a positive feedback loop on neuronal activity.

Evidence eb5ce1f7f1

CSF tau in APP transgenic mice is increased in an age- dependent manner without a global neuronal loss

Evidence 1a2201cdd1

the application of extracellular tau increases the electrical activity of iPSC-derived or primary cortical neurons

Evidence dcdbfa0de5

Moreover, extracellular tau may elicit cellular toxicity under certain conditions.

Evidence c26b517044

Furthermore, extracellular oligomeric tau impairs memory and long-term potentiation (LTP) in mice

Evidence 39d780bcb9

Anti-tau antibodies facilitate microglial uptake of tau aggregates

Evidence 688081356e

Elevated CSF tau is a diagnostic biomarker in AD patients

Evidence a1e52743b9

However, other studies show that the majority of extracellular tau is membrane-free (Chai et al., 2012; Karch et al., 2012) and not associated with extracellular vesicles such as exosomes or ectosomes (i.e., plasma-membrane originating vesicles act(MESH:Exosomes) cnc p(HGNC:MAPT) SET Evidence =

Evidence b1f53de3c6

The addition of tau into the cell culture media binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and increases intracellular calcium, eventually leading to cell death

Evidence 88a9b7fc4d

Subsequent studies have shown that injecting tau fibrils into the brain also induces trans- neuronal propagation in vivo

Evidence d21c641367

Furthermore, caspase-3 cleavage at D421 increases tau release

Evidence 799284953a

Rab GTPase regulates various steps of intracellular vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion
