Figure Legend Snippet: 6‐month‐old ACSA‐2+ SAMP8 primary cultured astrocytes and differentiated astrocytes derived from SAMP8 neural stem cells display loss in TSP‐1 levels. (A) RNA‐seq transcriptional profile of Thbs1 gene in astrocytes, neurons, endothelial cells, oligodendrocytes and microglia in P7 (postnatal day) mice. (B) RNA‐seq transcriptional profile of Thbs1 gene at different stages of development and aging in astrocytes from mouse hippocampus. (C) Representative images of GFAP (green) and TSP‐1 (red) immunostaining in ACSA‐2+ primary astrocytes cultures of the SAMP8 and SAMR1 strains (14 DIV) and in Diff‐Ast SAMP8 and SAMR1 strains (11 DIV). (D, E) Quantification of TSP‐1 protein shows lower levels in SAMP8 ACSA‐2+ astrocytes cultures ( p = 0.021) and in Diff‐Ast SAMP8 ( p = 0.011) than in the control SAMR1 strain. (F) RT‐qPCR of Thbs1 ( p = 0.001) demonstrates lower gene expression levels in Diff‐Ast SAMP8 compared to the control line SAMR1. Three independent experiments per cell type were analyzed ( n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Unpaired t ‐test was performed in (D, E). One‐sample t ‐test was done in (F). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Scale bar: 50 μm. Data in (A) and (B) were obtained from databases produced by the Barres lab (Zhang et al. and Clarke et al. available at https://brainrnaseq.org/ ).

Figure Legend Snippet: The hippocampus of 10‐month‐old SAMP8 mice shows deficiencies in TSP‐1 levels. (A) RT‐qPCR of Thbs1 ( p = 0.022) in SAMR1 ( n = 7 independent animals) and SAMP8 ( n = 8 independent animals). (B) TSP‐1 quantification by ELISA test in 10‐m SAMR1 ( n = 4 independent animals) and SAMP8 ( n = 3 independent animals) mice normalized to total protein levels. (C, D) Immunohistochemical analyses and TSP‐1 intensity quantification in 10‐m SAMR1 and SAMP8 hippocampus are shown. Representative astrocytes from the SLM layer in the hippocampus using GFAP (green) as an astroglial marker, and TSP‐1 (red) are depicted magnified. TSP‐1 signal intensity quantification was performed in each layer of the hippocampus and normalized to the quantification area (μm2). Three independent animals of each strain were analyzed for immunohistochemical analysis ( n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Unpaired t ‐test was performed. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01. Scale bar: 100 μm; 10 μm (representative astrocyte).

Figure Legend Snippet: The competitive TSP‐1 receptor antagonist gabapentin (GBP) blocks the synaptogenic effect of SAMR1 ACMs. (A and C) Immunostaining of MAP2 (gray), VGLUT1 (red) and PSD95 (green), and quantification of excitatory pre‐ (VGLUT1) and postsynaptic (PSD95) vesicles colocalization in hippocampal neurons treated with ACMs from Diff‐Ast SAMR1 and SAMP8 with or without GBP 32 μM. (B and D) Immunostaining of MAP2 (gray), VGLUT1 (red) and PSD95 (green), and quantification of excitatory pre‐ (VGLUT1) and postsynaptic (PSD95) colocalization vesicles in hippocampal neurons treated with ACMs from ACSA‐2 + SAMR1 and SAMP8 of 6‐m mice with or without GBP 32 μM. Three independent experiments were analyzed per cell type and experimental condition. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. One‐way ANOVA Tukey's multiple comparisons test was performed. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001. Scale bar: 50 μm.

Figure Legend Snippet: TSP‐1 rescues the synaptogenic function of Diff‐Ast SAMP8 ACM. (A, B) Immunostaining of MAP2 (gray), VGLUT1 (red) and PSD95 (green), and quantification of excitatory pre‐ (VGLUT1) and postsynaptic (PSD95) vesicles colocalization in hippocampal neurons treated with ACM from Diff‐Ast SAMP8 with or without TSP‐1 (250 ng/mL) supplementation. (C, D) Immunostaining of MAP2 (gray), VGLUT1 (red) and PSD95 (green), and quantification of excitatory pre‐ (VGLUT1) and postsynaptic (PSD95) vesicles colocalization in hippocampal neurons treated with ACM from transfected Diff‐Ast SAMP8 overexpressing mThbs1 and GFP, or pcDNA3 and GFP as a control. Three independent experiments were analyzed per cell type and experimental condition. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. One‐way ANOVA Tukey's multiple comparisons test was performed. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01. Scale bar: 50 μm.
