PDD005 modulates tau phosphorylation, IL-1β, GSK-3β in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs)-from 3x Tg- AD mice. (A) Graph illustrating the effect of PDD005-mediated attenuation of IL-1β in OHSCs from transgenic tau mice (3xTg-AD). Transcriptional expression of IL-1β was quantified by RT-PCR. Data expressed as the relative expression normalized to the housekeeping gene HPRT (2−ΔCt). Significant differences determined by using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test. *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 indicate significant differences between PDD005 and the vehicle group. Data expressed as means ± SEM with n = 2–6 inserts/condition and 10 slices/insert. (B,C) Representative immunoblot of the effect of PDD005-mediated attenuation of tau phosphorylation (Thr 212) in OHSCs-3x Tg- AD mice and densitometric analysis of intensity of immunoblots. Data expressed as means ± SD with n = 2 inserts/condition and 10 slices/insert. Significant differences determined by using Student’s t test.*P < 0.05 indicates significant differences between PDD005 and the vehicle group. (D,E) Representative immunoblot of the effect of PDD005-mediated phosphorylation of GSK-3β in OHSCs in 3x Tg- AD mice (D) and densitometric analysis of intensity of immunoblots (E). Each bar is expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 4 mice for all groups). Significant differences determined by using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test. ns = not significant *P < 0.05 compared with vehicle group.
