Prolonged inhibition of PV interneurons reduces Aβ levels and amyloid plaques in APP/PS1-PV-Cre mice. a Immunohistochemistry with anti-Aβ (6E10, red) antibody in 23–25-week-old mCherry-expressing APP/PS1-PV-Cre mice (upper panel) and hM4Di-expressing APP/PS1-PV-Cre mice (lower panel) 8 weeks following prolonged treatment showing plaques in the hippocampus (white arrows). Scale bar: 100 μm (overview), 20 μm (inset). b, c APP/PS1-PV-Cre mice expressing hM4Di showed a significant reduction in the average number of Aβ-positive plaques compared with APP/PS1-PV-Cre control mice (b), but not in average plaques size (c) (Student’s t test: n = 4 mice per group, *p < 0.05). d Relative Aβ1–40 (left panel) and Aβ1–42 (right panel) levels in the hippocampus of 23–25-week-old APP/PS1-PV-Cre mice 8 weeks following prolonged CNO treatment (Student’s t test; n = 13 mice per group, *p < 0.05)
