Developing effective therapeutics for complex diseases such as late-onset, sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (SAD) is difficult due to genetic and environmental heterogeneity in the human population and the limitations of existing animal models. Here, we used hiPSC-derived neurons to test a compound that stabilizes the retromer, a highly conserved multiprotein assembly that plays a pivotal role in trafficking molecules through the endosomal network. Using this human-specific system, we have confirmed previous data generated in murine models and show that retromer stabilization has a potentially beneficial effect on amyloid beta generation from human stem cell-derived neurons. We further demonstrate that manipulation of retromer complex levels within neurons affects pathogenic TAU phosphorylation in an amyloid-independent manner. Taken together, our work demonstrates that retromer stabilization is a promising candidate for therapeutic development in AD and highlights the advantages of testing novel compounds in a human-specific, neuronal system. A retromer stabilizing molecule reduces Aβ and phospho-TAU levels in human neurons The molecule reduces Aβ and pTau in both SAD and FAD cell lines Retromer stabilization reduces tau phosphorylation in an APP-independent manner Confirms studies in mice and highlights hiPSCs as a preclinical model In this work, Young and colleagues test how stabilization of a large endocytic trafficking complex, the retromer assembly, reduces cellular AD phenotypes in a human neuronal model. Using both patient-derived and genome-edited hiPSCs, they show that enhancement of retromer function affects both APP processing and tau phosphorylation independently.
