“…Previous findings show that brain injury can result in a number of abnormalities in the biosynthesis, degradation, and post-translational modification of proteins which may have contributed to the effects of rmTBI on tau and PP2A/PR55 found here (Gao et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2013;Li et al, 2007;Oberg et al, 2012;Saatman et al, 2010;Sun et al, 2013;Yao et al, 2007). While further research is required to identify these mechanisms, given that the onset of the observed changes to PP2A/PR55 and htau occurred in the acute phase of mTBI it is possible that an early pathogenic event in the TBI injury cascade, such as excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, hematoma, edema, or oxidative stress, may have initiated these effects (Blennow et al, 2012).…”
