ER stress-related dysfunction is not observed in the APPSwe model in vitro despite evidence of ISRIB target engagement. A, Thapsigargin-induced ER stress is not mitigated by ISRIB in APPSwe mouse PCNs. Cells from nTg and Tg mice cultured for 13 DIV treated with 1 μM thapsigargin or 1 μM thapsigargin + 200 nM ISRIB have increased levels of ATF4 compared to vehicle control. nTg vehicle, n = 3; nTg + 1 μM thapsigargin, n = 3; nTg + 1 μM thapsigargin + 200 nM ISRIB, n = 3; Tg vehicle, n = 3; Tg + 1 μM thapsigargin, n = 3; Tg + 1 μM thapsigargin + 200 nM ISRIB, n = 3. B, Thapsigargin (1 μM) attenuates protein synthesis in nTg PCNs cultured for 7 DIV. ISRIB (200 nM) provides partial restoration of protein synthesis in PCNs challenged with thapsigargin. nTg vehicle + 10 μg/ml puromycin, n = 4; nTg + 1 μM thapsigargin + 10 μg/ml puromycin, n = 5; nTg + 1 μM thapsigargin + 200 nM ISRIB, n = 5. C, Thapsigargin-induced ER stress is not mitigated by ISRIB in nTg mouse PCNs. Cells from nTg mice cultured for 7 DIV treated with 1 μM thapsigargin or 1 μM thapsigargin + 200 nM ISRIB have increased levels of ATF4 compared to vehicle control. nTg vehicle, n = 6; nTg + 1 μM thapsigargin, n = 6; nTg + 1 μM thapsigargin + 200 nM ISRIB, n = 6. Error bars indicate SEM; **p < 0.01, *** p = 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
