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.

We observed a reduction in Tau phosphorylation at the Tyr-18 epitope as expected (Fig. 8) in BAY61-3606-treated mice. PubMed:25331948
