Increased expression of the postsynaptic marker PSD-95 in the hippocampus of mice overexpressing the S49P-Syracuse mutation. Representative western blots of hippocampal extracts from four-five different animals aged 64 weeks overexpressing either wild-type (WT-Tg) or S49P-Syracuse mutant neuroserpin (Syr-Tg). Non-transgenic, wild-type mice (non-Tg) were used as controls. Extracts were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed with antibodies against PSD-95 (post-synapse) and synaptophysin, SNAP25 and synapsin-I (pre-synapse). Band intensity was normalized to β-actin expression. Relative expression is presented (AU, arbitrary units), wild-type was set to 1 (mean + /− SD; n = 4–5; for PSD-95: non-Tg vs. Syr-Tg: p = 0.0003; non-Tg vs. WT-Tg: p = 0.1890; WT-Tg vs. Syr-Tg: p = 0.0118; p = 0.3547 for synaptophysin; p = 0.8795 for synapsin-I; p = 0.4594 for SNAP25). Western blot membranes have been cropped, full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. S3.
