Chronic incubation with NED-19 alters spine morphology. (A) Sample images of pyramidal dendrites under control conditions (Con) or following a 16–20 hour incubation with NED-19 (scale bar = 2 µm). As compared with vehicle controls, NED-19-treated cells have a larger portion of filipodia (blue arrows) and a larger number of spines with long necks. (B) (i) Cumulative probability plot and (ii) averages of spine lengths (n = 144–186 spines/condition). Neck length was significantly increased with NED-19 treatment. (C) Percentage filipodia was significantly increased with NED-19 treatment (n = 144–186 spines/ condition). (D) (i) Cumulative probability plot and (ii) averages of spine widths (n = 144–186 spines/condition). Spine width was unchanged with NED-19 treatment. (E) Spine density was decreased with NED-19 treatment (n = 23–24 dendrites/condition). Error bars represent S.E.M. Non-significant group comparisons are denoted by n.s.
