Restoration of axonal transport and of ER-mitochondrial overlay by HDAC6 inhibition. a Immunostaining for ER (using mouse PDI antibody) and mitochondria (using rabbit TOM-20 antibody) of motor neurons derived from iPSC from patients carrying the P525L mutation and healthy controls before and after an overnight treatment with ACY-738 (1 μM). The separate views show co-localized pixels in the cell body and neurites. Scale bar = 5 µm. b Quantification of the proportion of ER-merged regions and mitochondrial-merged regions relative to the total mitochondrial staining. Data were analyzed by determining the Pearson’s correlation coefficient using ImageJ (n = 20, mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test, *, ***P values of 0.05 and 0.001). c Phosphatidylcholine (PC) level in culture media from motor neuron. Media were taken for ELISA after 2 days on the culture at the fourth week after the start of differentiation. A decrease was observed in patient-derived motor neurons. Representative experiment is shown (mean of technical duplicates ± SD). d Quantification of stationary mitochondria, moving mitochondria, and ratio between moving to total mitochondria normalized to a neurite length of 100 µm in motor neurons derived from patient and healthy control iPSC lines at the fourth week after plating with or without an overnight treatment with ACY-738 (n = 18, n = 16, n = 15, n = 18, n = 15, n = 13, n = 17, n = 13 for Ctr1 + DMSO, Ctr1 + ACY-738, Ctr2 + DMSO, Ctr2 + ACY-738, R521H + DMSO, R521H + ACY-738, P525L + DMSO, P525L + ACY-738, respectively, mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test; *, **P values of 0.05 and 0.01, respectively). e Quantification of stationary ER vesicles, moving ER vesicles, and ratio between moving to total vesicles normalized to a neurite length of 100 µm in motor neurons derived from patient and healthy control iPSC lines at the fourth week after plating with or without an overnight treatment with ACY-738 (n = 10, n = 19, n = 11, n = 18, n = 12, n = 12, n = 11, n = 16 for Ctr1 + DMSO, Ctr1 + ACY-738, Ctr2 + DMSO, Ctr2 + ACY-738, R521H + DMSO, R521H + ACY-738, P525L + DMSO, P525L + ACY-738, respectively, mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test; *, **, ***P values of 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001, respectively)
