The autophagic marker p62/SQSTM1 accumulates and colocalizes with hyperphosphorylated tau in human tauopathies. Double immunohistochemistry against p62/SQSTM1 (green), hyperphosphorylated tau (Tau/pS422, red) and DAPI (blue) are shown by confocal analysis. a In control individuals, p62/SQSTM1-positive inclusions are only rarely observed and (e, i) no Tau/pS422 immunoreactivity were detected. b-h Strong immunoreactivity of p62/SQSTM1 (b-d) and Tau/pS422 (f-h) in post-mortem brain sections from FAD, CBD and PSP patients. j-l Merged pictures show colocalization between p62/SQSTM1 and Tau/pS422. j In FAD patients, colocalization is shown in neuronal threads (asterisks and high magnification m) and close to the nucleus (arrowheads and high magnification n). k, o In CBD patients, asterisks indicate colocalization in threads. l, p In PSP brains, colocalization is detected in threads (asterisks) and in some cell bodies (arrowheads). Scale: 20 μm (10 μm insert)
