So proud to share my first first-author paper from my postdoc in @liganlab.bsky.social out yesterday in @cp-immunity.bsky.social! We characterized a model of the APOE3 Christchurch mutation on a tauopathy background and found downregulation of cGAS-STING-IFN pathway as a source of protection!

🚨Our new paper is out!🚨 We uncover a protective mechanism of the rare APOE3 Christchurch (R136S) mutation against tauopathy—by suppressing microglial cGAS–STING–interferon (IFN) pathway, a key inflammatory axis triggered by tau. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Online now: The R136S mutation in the APOE3 gene confers resilience against tau pathology via inhibition of the cGAS-STING-IFN pathway

The R136S mutation in the APOE3 gene confers resilience against tau pathology via inhibition of the cGAS-STING-IFN pathway
The APOE3 Christchurch mutation (R136S) reduces tau pathology despite the PSEN1 mutation and high amyloid, though its protective mechanism remains unclear. Naguib et al. show that R136S suppresses microglial cGAS-STING-IFN signaling in tauopathy mice. Inhibiting cGAS preserves synapses and mimics R136S-linked gene expression, suggesting that cGAS suppression is a key part of the underlying protective effects of R136S.
