SREBF2 and tauopathy: In addition, TRPV1-mediated transient Ca2+ influx mitigated cholesterol biosynthesis in microglia by suppressing the transcriptional activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2, promoted autophagic activity and reduced lysosomal cholesterol accumulation, which were sufficient to resolve excessive immune response and neurodegeneration in APOE4-related tauopathy mouse model.
