Impact of Methyltransferase Activity on Tau Hyperphosphorylation and Neuronal Death

This study explores the relationship between S-Adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM), and the activity of methyltransferases in the context of tau phosphorylation and neuronal cell death. Elevated levels of SAH and the consequent DNA hypomethylation were linked to increased tau hyperphosphorylation and amyloid precursor protein processing. The results indicate that both active and inactive PP2A, along with kinases and presenilin overexpression, play significant roles in these pathways, ultimately contributing to neurodegenerative processes.
