Background: Tau is a microtubule-binding protein encoded by the MAPT gene. Tau is essential for several physiological functions and associated with pathological processes, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Six tau isoforms are typically described in the central nervous system, but current research paints a more diverse landscape and a more nuanced balance between isoforms.

We compared the signal transduction pathways activated by stromal cell-derived factor-1 (CXCL12) chemokine in two different cell systems: primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGN) and human neuroepithelioma CHP100 cells. Both cell types express functional CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), which is coupled both to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt phosphorylation pathways. The activation of ERK shows different dependency on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) pathway and different sensitivity to pertussis toxin (PTX) treatment, indicative of coupling to different G proteins in the two cell systems considered.
