BACKGROUND: The progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with an
increase of phosphorylated tau in the brain. One of the earliest phosphorylated
sites on tau is Ser262 that is preferentially phosphorylated by microtubule
affinity regulating kinase (MARK), of which four isoforms exist. Herein we
investigated the expression of MARK1-4 in the hippocampus of non-demented elderly
(NDE) and AD cases. RESULTS: In situ hybridization revealed a uniform, neuronal
distribution of all four isoform mRNAs in NDE and AD. Immunohistochemical
analyses using isoform-selective antibodies demonstrated that MARK4 in a
phosphorylated form colocalizes with p-tau Ser262 in granulovacuolar degeneration
bodies (GVDs) that progressively accumulate in AD. In contrast MARK4 is largely
absent in the neuronal cytoplasm. MARK3 was localized to a subset of the
GVD-containing neurons and also had a weak general cytoplasmic neuronal staining
in both NDE and AD. These results suggest that in AD, phosphorylated MARK3 and
MARK4 are sequestered and proteolysed in GVDs. MARK1 and MARK2 were absent in
GVDs and exhibited relatively uniform neuronal expressions with no apparent
differences between NDE and AD. CONCLUSION: We found that the phosphorylated and
fragmented forms of MARK4 and to some extent MARK3 are present in GVDs in AD, and
that this expression is highly correlated with phosphorylation of tau at Ser262.
This may represent a cellular defense mechanism to remove activated MARK and
p-tau Ser262 from the cytosol, thereby reducing the phosphorylating effect on tau
Ser262 that appears to be a critical step for subsequent neurodegeneration.
