This study evaluates the effects of hypergravity (HG) on a neurodegenerative model in vitro, looking at how HG influences Tau protein aggregation in Mouse Hippocampal Neuronal Cells (HT22) induced by neurofibrillary tangle seeds. Overall, 50× g significantly, synergistically, reduced the Tau aggregate Area when combined with ERK-inhibitor PD-0325901, correlating with decreased phosphorylation at critical residues pS262 and pS396. These findings suggest HG treatments may help mitigate cytoskeletal damage linked to Tau aggregation.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effects of hypergravity (HG) on a neurodegenerative model in vitro, looking at how HG influences Tau protein aggregation in Mouse Hippocampal Neuronal Cells (HT22) induced by neurofibrillary tangle seeds. Overall, 50× g significantly, synergistically, reduced the Tau aggregate Area when combined with ERK-inhibitor PD-0325901, correlating with decreased phosphorylation at critical residues pS262 and pS396. These findings suggest HG treatments may help mitigate cytoskeletal damage linked to Tau aggregation.
