EpoD treatment reduced Aβ pathology in APP/PS1 hippocampus. (a) Extracellular Aβ accumulation was assessed by both Aβ42 immunohistochemistry (a1,a2) and Thioflavin-S staining (a3,a4) for fibrillary plaques in the CA1 subfield. Insets show higher magnifications of stained amyloid plaques. (b) Quantitative analyses demonstrated a significant reduction of Aβ42 deposition in CA1 region (t test, *p < 0.05) of EpoD mice (n = 7) in comparison to vehicle group (n = 4). (c) Similarly, Thio-S loading was also found to be reduced in the hippocampus of EpoD treated mice (t test, *p < 0.05). (d) The numerical density (ND) of plaques did not change, but plaque size (e) was significantly smaller in EpoD group (t test, **p < 0.01). slm stratum lacunosum-moleculare, so stratum oriens, sp stratum pyramidale, sr stratum radiatum. Scale bars: (a1a4) 200 μm; insets 20 μm.
