Effects of α-syn Overexpression on Total and Phosphorylated Levels of rpS6. Representative, low- and high-magnification images (AD and EH, respectively) from the SNpc ipsilateral to rAAV2/5 α-syn injection displaying triple label immunofluorescence for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, green, A,E), ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6, red, B,F) and human alpha-synuclein (α-syn, blue, C,G). Merged images showing numerous SNpc neurons co-expressing all three proteins are shown at low (D) and high (H) magnification. From the same rat in an adjacent section, the ipsilateral SN is shown at low and high magnification for TH (L,P), p-rpS6 (M,Q), human α-syn (N,R) and merged images (O,S). Quantification of the No Electrode group (n = 5) was assessed between hemispheres to determine the effect of α-syn overexpression on TH (I), rpS6 (J) and p-rpS6 (K). A difference between hemispheres was observed for TH (I, p = 0.003) and p-rpS6 (K, p = 0.004). Scale bars are 200 μm and 50 μm for low- and high-magnification images, respectively.
