Protein and mRNA levels of transglutaminase 1 were increased in globus pallidus of PSP as compared to controls. There were also significantly higher mRNA levels of the short form of transglutaminase 2 in globus pallidus of PSP (974% of control). Transglutaminase 1 mRNA and the long isoform of transglutaminase 2 mRNA (2212% of control) were significantly higher in PSP in the dentate of cerebellum. Together, these findings suggest that transglutaminase 1 and 2 enzymes may be involved in the formation and/or stabilization of neurofibrillary tangles in selectively vulnerable brain regions in PSP. These transglutaminases may be potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
