We studied the effects of Sirt3 on tau acetylation and its aggregations.
Sirt3 may play a role in tau acetylation and could be a potential target for novel therapy to alleviate tau accumulation.
We investigated the protein levels of Sirt3 and tangle tau in human postmortem brains slices from AD, mild cognitive impairment, and age- and education-matched cognitively normal subjects, and AD model mice. We also measured tau acetylation levels in hippocampal HT22 cells after Sirt3 knockdown or overexpression.
