(A) Quantification of 3PPP treated cortical neuron cell death. Transfected CD1 primary cortical neurons were treated with a given 3PPP concentration in the culture media for 48 h before nuclei were stained with Hoechst. Quantification of nuclear staining intensity in transfected cells was performed using Volocity. Results presented as individual values plus means ± S.E. of the percentage of dead cells. ** p < .01 vs Htt-82Q untreated cells, *** p < .001 vs Htt-82Q untreated cells, ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test. (n = 8 independent neuronal preparations).
(B) Quantification of pridopidine treated cortical neuron cell death. Transfected CD1 primary cortical neurons were treated with a given pridopidine concentration in the culture media for 48 h before nuclei were stained with Hoechst. Quantification of nuclear staining intensity in transfected cells was performed using Volocity. Results presented as individual values plus means ± S.E. of the percentage of dead cells. *** p < .001 vs Htt-82Q untreated cells, ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test. (n = 8 independent neuronal preparations).
