Neurotoxic astrocytes secreted glypican-4 drives Alzheimer’s tau pathology

2020-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is the most crucial genetic risk factor of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the mechanism through which APOE4 induces AD risk remains unknown. Here, we report the astrocyte-secreted protein glypican-4 (GPC-4), as a novel binding partner of APOE4, drives tau pathology. APOE4-carrying AD patients display more tau accumulation compared to APOE4-noncar...
