Here, we found that MG could induce tau hyperphosphorylation at multiple AD-related sites in neuroblastoma 2a cells under maintaining normal cell viability. MG treatment increased the level of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and the receptor of AGEs (RAGE). PubMed:22798221
Taken all together, we think that activation of GSK-3b and p38 should be responsible for MG-induced tau hyperphosphorylation. PubMed:22798221

Interestingly, Syk upregulation in SH-SY5Y cells leads to a significant increase (1.7-fold) in phosphorylated tau at Y18 (Fig. 14c, p < 0.01) and at S396/404 (Fig. 14d, 3-fold, p < 0.0001) compared to control cells. Total tau levels are also significantly increased following Syk overexpression (Fig. 14e, 4.2-fold, p < 0.0001). PubMed:28877763
We further validated Syk as a target-regulating Aβ by showing that pharmacological inhibition of Syk or down-regulation of Syk expression reduces Aβ production and increases the clearance of Aβ across the BBB mimicking (-)-nilvadipine effects. Moreover, treatment of transgenic mice overexpressing Aβ and transgenic Tau P301S mice with a selective Syk inhibitor respectively decreased brain Aβ accumulation and Tau hyperphosphorylation at multiple AD relevant epitopes.

Interestingly, we also detected a reduction in Tau phosphorylation at PHF-1 (Ser(P)- 396/Ser(P)-404) and CP13 (Ser(P)-202) in epitopes following treatment of Tg Tau P301S mice with BAY61-3606, whereas the RZ3 (Thr(P)-231) Tau epitope was not significantly impacted (Fig. 8) suggesting that Syk inhibition may also control the activity of other downstream kinases involved in Tau hyperphosphorylation PubMed:25331948
Western blot analyses of brain homogenates show that (-)-nilvadipine significantly reduces Tau phosphorylation in AT8 (phosphorylated Ser-199/Ser-202/Thr-205) and PHF-1 (phosphorylated Ser-396/Ser-404) epitopes (Fig. 3). PubMed:25331948
