Abstract

Globular glial tauopathy is a 4-repeat tauopathy associated with heterogenous clinical syndromes, including primary progressive aphasia. Iron-reactive gliosis in mid-to-deep cortical layers has previously been reported in this disorder, but detailed anatomic localization and its relationship to clinical symptoms is understudied, particularly within the anatomic framework of primary progressive aphasia. In a series of five autopsy-confirmed patients with globular glial tauopathy and one healthy control, we utilize ultra-high-resolution whole-hemisphere ex vivo 7 Telsa MRI and digital pathology to study whole-hemisphere and local laminar/cellular patterns of pathology within affected cortex. We find signature laminar patterns of iron-rich gliosis localized to brain regions implicated in distinct clinical aphasia syndromes between patients: patients who presented with non-fluent aphasia had iron-rich gliosis pathology localized to inferior and superior frontal and motor regions while iron-rich pathology was largely localized to the anterior temporal lobe in a patient with the semantic variant. Moreover, in one patient with non-fluent aphasia and additional iron-sensitive 7 Telsa MRI during life, we find evidence of antemortem iron-rich pathology in the same frontal regions observed post-mortem. These data suggest that focal neuroinflammation and iron dysregulation may contribute to the clinical expression of tauopathies and be detectable during life to improve diagnosis.

OSCR keeps no copy of these files: this repository has no license that allows it. The reader above shows each one from its source, fetched by your browser at commit 7d82f74, when its fingerprint is the one OSCR verified. How this works.

The paper's code and data availability statement is in the Data section.

Tracing map

Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.

What the map holds:

  • 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
  • 1 script, each with its path and the digest of its content;
  • 1 match between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
  • neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.

Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
