The molecular chaperone Clusterin (CLU) impacts the amyloid pathway in Alzheimer's disease (AD) but its role in tau pathology is unknown. We observed CLU co-localization with tau aggregates in AD and primary tauopathies and CLU levels were upregulated in response to tau accumulation. To further elucidate the effect of CLU on tau pathology, we utilized a gene delivery approach in CLU knock-out (CLU KO) mice to drive expression of tau bearing the P301L mutation. We found that loss of CLU was associated with exacerbated tau pathology and anxiety-like behaviors in our mouse model of tauopathy. Additionally, we found that CLU dramatically inhibited tau fibrilization using an in vitro assay. Together, these results demonstrate that CLU plays a major role in both amyloid and tau pathologies in AD.

Software package with functions that will help researchers plan how many subjects per group need to be included in an MRI-based cortical thickness study to ensure a thickness difference is detected. The package requires cortical thickness mapping and co-registration to be carried out using Freesurfer. The power analyses are implemented in the R software package.

View all literature mentionsA video-based system to detect animal movement in fear conditioning experiments, as well as movements in learned helplessness experiments. FreezeFrame can detect animal movements (as small as 1mm) and actions, including grooming, sniffing, turning, and rearing. It can also collect and process data for learned helplessness experiments, such as Tail Suspension and the Porsolt Forced Swim Test. This software can monitor animals for up to 15 times per second.
