The effect of α-synuclein and Tau in methamphetamine induced neurotoxicity in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract:

:The upregulated α-synuclein (α-syn) and Tau co-occur in methamphetamine (METH) abusers' brains. Here, we designed experiments mainly to investigate whether α-syn and Tau interact in METH exposure. We detected the expression of α-syn, total Tau, and phosphorylation of Tau at Serine 396 (pSer396 Tau) under in vitro and in vivo conditions after METH exposure to determine the co-occurrence of α-syn and Tau. We also explored the effect of α-syn or Tau on one another by silencing and knocking-out one of them in METH treatment. We found that METH increased the α-syn, total Tau, and pSer396 Tau protein level in SH-SY5Y cells, primary cultured neurons, and in mice brains. In additional, reducing α-syn level can relieve and even normalize the pSer396 Tau and total Tau overexpression after treatment of METH. Furthermore, knocking out Tau can effectively inhibit METH induced overexpression of α-syn in mice brains. Finally, knocking out α-syn or Tau can effectively reduce METH-induced neurotoxicity in mice brains. This research could provide potential therapeutic approaches targeting the vicious circle between α-syn and Tau in METH abusers and patients with neurodegenerative disorders.
