This study aimed to investigate the effects of tauopathy on normal brain aging. The results showed that tauopathy caused defects in eye morphology, a decrease in motor function, a decline in olfactory memory performance, and an increase in ethanol sensitivity. Additionally, tauopathy increased cell stress and oxidative stress, as well as affecting autophagy. Overall, tauopathy accelerated brain aging, with redox signaling and autophagy playing important roles.
PurposeAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of tauopathy that usually occursduring aging and unfolded protein response (UPR), oxidative stress and autophagy play a crucialrole in tauopathy-induced neurotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects oftauopathy on normal brain aging in a Drosophila model of AD.MethodWe investigated the interplay between aging (10, 20, 30, and 40 days) and human tauR406W (htau)-induced cell stress in transgenic fruit flies.ResultsTauopathy caused significant defects in eye morphology, a decrease in motor function and olfactory memory performance (after 20 days), and an increase in ethanol sensitivity (after 30 days). Our results showed a significant increase in UPR (GRP78 and ATF4), redox signalling (p-Nrf2, total GSH, total SH, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant activity), and regulatory associated protein of mTOR complex 1 (p-Raptor) activity in the control group after 40 days, while the tauopathy model flies showed an advanced increase in the above markers at 20 days of age. Interestingly, only the control flies showed reduced autophagy by a significant decrease in the autophagosome formation protein (dATG1)/p-Raptor ratio at 40 days of age. Our results were also confirmed by bioinformatic analysis of microarray data from tauPS19 transgenic mice (3, 6, 9, and 12 months), in which tauopathy increased expression of heme oxygenase 1, and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit and promote aging in transgenic animals.ConclusionsOverall, we suggest that the neuropathological effects of tau aggregates may be accelerated brain aging, where redox signaling and autophagy efficacy play an important role.
