A polytherapy of orally available compounds is disclosed that synergistically modulates and induces the expression of the cathelicidin gene (CAMP), which encodes the host defense peptide LL-37. By providing a number of different CAMP-inducing compounds together at the same time, stronger gene induction is achieved than with just one or two compounds, because the mechanism of induction broadens. Induction also may vary in different pas of the body depending on which compounds are used, and at what levels. We show for the first time that the polytherapy can induce cathelicidin expression in the brain, which may help to treat or prevent Alzheimer's Disease Systemic cathelicidin gene induction may help treat numerous other conditions including Type 2 Diabetes/Metabolic Syndrome, or chronic bacterial, viral, or fungal infections associated with increased cancer risk or neurodegeneration. By increasing cellular autophagy and macroautophagy and supporting mitochondrial biogenesis and homeostasis, CAMP gene upregulation may reduce the effects of cellular aging and increase longevity.

The invention relates to the identification of a new Tau species starting at residue Met11 (Met11-Tau) which is N-alpha-terminally acetylated form (N-alpha-acetyl-Met11-Tau species: Ac-Met11-Tau). Several monoclonal antibodies specific of this new Tau species have been developed. One of this antibody, 2H2/D11, was used in THY-Tau22 mouse model (that develops with age neurofibrillary degeneration (NFD) and memory deficits), and N-alpha-Ac-Met11-Tau species were clearly detected early in neurons displaying NFD on hippocampal brain sections while it is not reactive in hippocampus from elderly controls. Finally, by using ELISA sandwich specific of Ac-Met11-Tau species, Alzheimer Disease (AD) brain samples are clearly discriminated from human elderly control brains. Thus the invention relates to this new Tau species starting from the methionine residue at position 11 said methionine being N-alpha acetylated. The invention also relates to antibody that specifically binds this new tau species, a method of detection of this new Tau species and a method of diagnosis of Tauopathy disorder.
