Using real-time RT-PCR, immunoblotting and immunostaining analyses, we measured mRNA expressions and protein levels of genes related to the mitochondrial dynamics—Drp1 and Fis1 (fission), Mfn1, Mfn2 and Opa1 (fusion), CypD (matrix), mitochondrial biogenesis—Nrf1, Nrf2, PGC1a and TFAM and synaptic— synaptophysin, PSD95, synapsin 1, synaptobrevin 1, neurogranin, GAP43 and synaptopodin in brain tissues from 6-month old Drp1þ/+-, Tau, TauXDrp1þ/+- and wild-type mice. Decreased mRNA and protein levels of fission and matrix and increased levels of fusion, mitochondrial biogenesis, and synaptic genes were found in 6-month-old TauXDrp1þ/+- mice relative to Tau mice. Mitochondrial dysfunction was reduced in TauXDrp1þ/+- mice relative to Tau mice.
