Altered localization of nucleoporin 98 in primary tauopathies.

ABSTRACT: Nucleoporin 98 is a nuclear pore complex component that is mislocalized in Alzheimer's disease and the alteration in nucleoporin 98 has been attributed to tau. In order to determine if nucleoporin 98 mislocalization is a general feature of tauopathies, we assessed the localization of nucleoporin 98 in neurons in primary tauopathies, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration-tau, corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy. Immunofluorescence staining was performed on frontal cortex and occipital cortex tissue from cases of primary tauopathies and controls without neurodegenerative disease using antibodies to identify nucleoporin 98, phospho-tau (Ser202, Thr205) monoclonal antibody and neuronal marker microtubule-associated protein 2. The stained tissue was imaged by fluo
