For example, tau pathology closely correlates to neuron loss and cognitive deficits PubMed:21882945
In addition, a non-functional PSA mutant exacerbated tau pathology in a Drosophila model of tauopathy, while overexpressing PSA ameliorated the tau phenotype and diminished tau levels (10). Overexpressing PSA had a similar effect in the TAUP301L mice, reducing the pathologic phenotype (delaying paralysis, increasing motor neuron density in the spinal cord, decreasing gliosis) and decreasing tau levels (12). PubMed:24027553
Given that in animal models of AD reducing tau levels attenuates neuronal dysfunction (7, 8), and in humans the extent of tau pathology correlates with cognitive decline (9), there is a growing interest in defining the degradative pathways that remove tau from the cell. PubMed:24027553
In general, the remarkable co-localization between TNT1, TOC1 and R1 in all tauopathies confirms that PAD exposure and tau oligomerization occur simultaneously in cells displaying tau pathology, irrespective of isoform composition PubMed:27574109

Soluble AT8 tau monomers inhibited anterograde FAT (Fig. 6 A, C), while retrograde trans- port was unaffected (Fig. 6 A, D). These data indicate that phos- phorylation of tau at the AT8 epitope, which is associated with hyperphosphorylation of tau in AD and other tauopathies, renders soluble monomeric tau capable of inhibiting antero- grade FAT. PubMed:21734277
Overall, these results show that astroglial TFEB overexpression reduces tau pathology and gliosis in the hippocampus of PS19 tauopathy mice. PubMed:30108137
Tauopathies are a family of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the appearance of aggregates of the microtubule-associating protein, tau. PubMed:21882945
For example, tau pathology closely correlates to neuron loss and cognitive deficits PubMed:21882945
Experimental data from various studies indicate that tau pathology may be associated with cellular senescence, a fundamental aging mechanism shown to contribute to several chronic diseases (recent review Kirkland and Tchkonia, 2017) PubMed:30126037
TauNFT mice develop aggressive tauopathy with NFT formation in early life, and show a senescence-associated transcriptomic profile with NFT onset (Figure 1c) PubMed:30126037
PSP is an age-associated tauopathy that clinically manifests as parkinsonism with additional motor abnormalities and cognitive dysfunction (Orr et al., 2017), and is neuropathologically defined by accumulation of four-repeat (4R) tau, NFTs, gliosis and neurodegeneration (Flament et al., 1991) PubMed:30126037
A number of studies have found that Ab species, including oligomeric Ab42, are important factors responsible for tau pathogenesis PubMed:22419736
Tau protein can form multiple quaternary structures in solution, and recent evidence suggests that small tau oligomeric species may play a critical role in the spread of tau pathology and neurotoxicity PubMed:29686391
Hence, tau APFs may play a significant role in tauopathies by linking pore formation to cell death PubMed:28420982
This indicates that tauopathies progress via a prion-like mechanism dependent upon tau oligomers (Gerson and Kayed, 2013; Castillo-Carranza et al., 2014b) PubMed:28420982
These studies demonstrate that tau oligomers may be the toxic entities responsible for neurodegeneration in tauopathies (Ward et al., 2012 PubMed:28420982
In AD, tau pathology and neuronal cell loss coincide in the same brain regions, and as brain dysfunction progresses, NFTs are found in greater anatomical distributions (Ihara, 2001) PubMed:28420982
In other words, it is sensible to theorize that tauopathies progress via interaction of extracellular tau with M1 and M3 receptors on neurons leading to cytotoxic effects (Gómez-Ramos et al., 2009) PubMed:28420982

The pathological accumulation of tau is a hallmark in several neurodegenerative disorders collectively termed tauopathies (Kovacs, 2015); a series of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Pick’s disease, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE; Guo et al., 2017).

Notably, the loss of neuronal PP2A/Bα holoenzymes correlates with the down-regulation of PP2A methylation and severity of phosphorylated tau (P-tau) pathology in AD-affected brain regions (Sontag et al.,2004 a,b). PubMed:24653673
Paclitaxel reversed Aβ-induced microtubule disruption and restored autophagosomal transport in neurons [161], while a similar compound, epothilone D/BMS-241027, reduced tauopathy and improved cognition in P301S transgenic mice [162] although the compound did not progress beyond Phase I clinical testing PubMed:29758300
For instance, phosphorylated insoluble tau proteins dampen 26S proteasome activity, while activation of the UPS attenuates tauopathy [27] PubMed:29758300
Dysregulation of tau proteins can produce a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases or tauopathies characterized by dementia and tau deposition, including AD, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Niemann- Pick disease, corticobasal degeneration (CBD), tangle-only dementia (TOD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). PubMed:29758300
Higher expression of BIN1 has been reported in AD brains, and suppression of BIN1 reduces tau toxicity, suggesting BIN1 involvement in tau pathology, as well [104]. PubMed:29758300

Consistent with these findings, rapamycin induction of autophagy reduces tau pathology in the triple transgenic AD-mouse model (Caccamo et al. 2010), whereas in other models, autophagic–lysosomal dysfunction amplifies tau pathology and tau neurotoxicity (Hamano et al. 2008; Khurana et al. 2010).
