KLK8 knockdown in vitro and in vivo in mouse hippocampus markedly reduced microtubule associated dendrite growth and spine density. (A) Western blot analysis showing reduced L1CAM cleavage and MAP2c level and (B) dendrite growth in primary hippocampal neurons upon KLK8 gene silencing. ‘*’ Denotes significant differences (p < 0.05) as compared to control. Silencer® Negative siRNA with scrambled sequence was used as a negative control along with another control cells treated only with lipofectamine. (C) Hippocampal KLK8 mRNA expression, MAP2c level and (D) Golgi staining based dendrite spine density upon KLK8 knockdown by antisense oligonucleotides ‘*’ denotes significant differences as compared to sham control.
