Nilotinib (Tasigna™) does not affect the expression of ATG proteins and clearance of mHTT aggregates at 12 weeks in Striatum in R6/2. (A) Representative images of Immunohistochemistry for labelling ATG proteins p62/SQSTM1, LC3B from WT-Saline and WT-Tasigna treated mice in the striatum at 12 weeks. p62/SQSTM1 labelled in green, LC3B in red. (B) Representative images of Immunohistochemistry for labelling ATG proteins p62/SQSTM1, GABARAPL2 from WT-Saline and WT-Tasigna treated mice in the striatum at 12 weeks. p62/SQSTM1 labelled in green, GABARAPL2 in red. (C) Representative images for Immunohistochemistry for labelling mHTT aggregates by EM48, and ATG proteins p62/SQSTM1 LC3B from R6/2-Saline and R6/2-Tasigna treated mice in the striatum at 12 weeks. mHTT (EM48) aggregates are labelled in Blue, p62/SQSTM1 in green, and LC3B in red. (D) Representative images for Immunohistochemistry for labelling of mHTT aggregates by EM48, and ATG proteins p62/SQSTM1, and GABARAPL2 from R6/2-Saline and R6/2-Tasigna treated mice in the striatum at 12 weeks. mHTT (EM48) aggregates are labelled in Blue, p62/SQSTM1 in green, and GABARAPL2 in red. Magnification = 63X. Scale bar = 5 μm. N = 3 WT-Saline, and WT-Tasigna; N = 3 R6/2-Saline, and R6/2-Tasigna. N = number of mice, White arrowheads indicate co-localisation of p62/SQSTM1 with LC3B or GABARAPL2. White arrow indicates co-localisation of mHTT (EM48) aggregates with ATG markers.
