Dose-dependent effect of selected compounds on p-Tau in human neurons and in an in vitro GSK3β assay. (A) 20 h treatment with CHIR-99021, enzastaurin and ruboxistaurin dose-dependently decreased mean PHF-1 intensity in both cell bodies and neuronal processes in both control and patient iNgn2 neurons. Mean ± SEM of two biological replicates; dots represents individual values. One-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post hoc test, ns = not significant, *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, ****p ≤ 0.0001 compared to DMSO. (B) IC50 values of CHIR-99021 (positive control, n = 2), enzastaurin (n = 4) and ruboxistaurin (n = 4) as determined in the ADP-Glo kinase assay for GSK3β, where n is the number of replicate wells.
