Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3)

Please Note: Due to time constraints, the text part of this page has not been updated for some time. However, references are added reasonably frequently.


Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3; also known as tau protein kinase I [TPKI]) is a kinase with a well-known role in glycogen metabolism and activation of transcription factors that can also phosphorylate tau (Ishiguro et al., 1992). GSK-3 beta  (but not GSK-3 alpha) has been shown to be increased in pre-tangle (Pei et al., 1999 ) and closely-associated with the p-tau of tangle-bearing neurons ( Yamaguchi et al., 1996).

Imahori and Uchida (1997) showedGSK-3 beta to be equivalent  to TPKI and, with TPKII (consisting of a novel 23 kDa protein activator and CDK5), could account for most major phosphorylation sites of fetal and PHF(paired helical filament)-tau. GSK-3 beta and TPKII were associated with NFTs in vivo and were suggested to be important in the formation of neural networks in the neonatal brain. Using primary cultures of embryonic rat hippocampus, theyalso demonstrated that beta-amyloid treatment induced GSK-3 beta activity, extensive phosphorylation of tau and cell death. GSK-3 beta also interacted with pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), thereby reducing levels of acetyl-CoA, essential for (the neurotransmitter) acetylcholine synthesis. 

Further corroborating in vivo evidence of GSK-3 beta’s potential role in AD has come from research on transgenic mouse models overexpressing this kinase (Lucas et al., 2001; Spittaels et al., 2000), which evidenced tau hyperphosphorylation and associated astrocytosis, microglial activation and cell death in hippocampal neurons.

Leost et al. (2000)  reported that paullones are potent inhibitors of GSK-3 beta (and neuronal cdk5 /p25). The most active paullone was Alsterpaullone, which competes with ATP for binding to GSK-3 beta and inhibits the in vivo phosphorylation of tau at sites  typically phosphorylated by GSK-3 beta in AD. The authors suggest that these compounds could be useful tools for the study and possible treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
