Efficacy of YU102 in Tg2576 mice is independent of Aβ deposition and tau aggregation. (a) ELISA-based quantification of Aβ1–42 in hippocampal tissues isolated from Tg2576 mice. The difference in the levels of Aβ1–42 between vehicle control and YU102-treated mice was not statistically significant (p-value > 0.1, n = 3). Statistical analysis of ELISA results was performed via Student’s t-test. (b) Thioflavin T staining of Aβ fibrils in hippocampal tissue sections from Tg2576 mice. (c) YU102 has no effect on tau aggregation. Thapsigargin induces tau aggregation in HEK 293 tau-BiFC cells, activating a tau BiFC fluorescence signal that can be detected. (d) YU102 displays no neuroprotective effects during the experimental period. Hippocampal tissues isolated from the brains of Tg2576 mice were stained with Cresyl violet, a marker for Nissl substance in neurons.
