Evidence for axonal and synaptic damage in doxycycline naïve rtTA-Tat mice. Immunoblots and density quantitation of (a) the axonal marker βIII-tubulin, (b) the presynaptic marker Synaptophysin, and (c) the postsynaptic marker PSD95 in cortex of 11–12 month old mice with the indicated genotype and treatment condition. (d) qRT-PCR analysis showing expression of the indicated cytokines in cortex of 11–12 month old mice with the indicated genotype and treatment condition. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. N = 3 mice per condition for western blots, and n = 6–7 per group for qRT-PCR. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, and #p < 0.05 compared to rtTA control group.
