Extended Data Fig. 9. Autophagy-Lysosomal Pathway (ALP) abnormality in Braak II stage) human AD brain degenerating neuron.

Extended Data Fig. 9

a. Representative fluorescence images of intraneuronal Aβ in autolysosomes (arrowhead, autophagy (LC3)/lysosomal (CTSD)) together with DAPI for nucleus. Scale bar 20 μm. b. Representative LC3/CTSD fluorescence images depicting a neuron with focal plasma membrane blebbing as pa-AL enlarge and proliferate (arrowhead). c. Z-stacked image series (1 μm thick, number z1z5) showing LC3 and CTSD positive blebs emanating from perikaryon marked by DAPI staining. Scale bar 10 μm. d. Patterns of AV-related pathology showing a neuronal perikaryon with an intact nucleus. Enlarged LC3- and CTSD-positive vesicles (AL) are contained within numerous perikaryal membrane blebs Scale bar 10 μm. e. IHF labeling of Aβ (4G8) and DAPI stain. Perinuclear intraneuronal Aβ accumulation surrounding visible DAPI-positive nucleus within a PANTHOS like neuron. Scale bar 10 μm. a-d: Experiment was repeated 3 AD human brain independently with similar results.
