説明

Intracellular filamentous tau pathology is the defining feature of tauopathies which form a subset of neurodegenerative diseases. We have analyzed pathological tau in Alzheimer’s disease and in frontotemporal lobar degeneration associated with tauopathy to include cases with Pick bodies corticobasal degeneration progressive supranuclear palsy and ones due to intronic mutations in MAPT. We found that the C-terminal band pattern of the pathological tau species is distinct for each disease. Immunoblot analysis of trypsin-resistant tau indicated that the different band patterns of the 7–18 kDa fragments in these diseases likely reflect different conformations of tau molecular species. Protein sequence and mass spectrometric analyses revealed the carboxyl-terminal region (residues 243–406) of tau comprises the protease-resistant core units of the tau aggregates and the sequence lengths and precise regions involved are different among the diseases. These unique assembled tau cores may be used to classify and diagnose disease strains. Based on these results we propose a new clinicopathological classification of tauopathies based on the biochemical properties of tau.
