Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) In the dentate gyrus, CCT2 accumulated in granule cells, pyramidal cells of the CA4 sub-field, and hilar neurons. ( a 1 ) CCT2-like immunoreactivity was reduced as the granule cell layer became disorganized in definite AD. ( b ) CCT2 in CA1 pyramidal neurons, particularly in their somata and proximal dendrites. ( b 1 ) Here, CCT2-like immunoreactivity was also reduced in definite AD. ( c ) In AD, an increased number of tangle-bearing neurons and extracellular plaques ( arrowheads ) were associated with reduced CCT3-like immunoreactivity in neurons in, e.g., the polymorph layer of the dentate gyrus (PoDG; c 1 ). In definite AD ( d 1 vs . d ), perisomatic CCT3-like immunoreactivity was absent in those CA1 pyramidal neurons that were proximal to extracellular plaques ( arrowheads ). ( e,f ) Western blotting revealed gradually reduction in both CCT2 and CCT3 protein levels as a factor of disease progression in the human hippocampus. For CCT3, two isoforms (‘a’ (75 kDa) ‘b’ (65 kDa), corresponding to possible splice variants) were quantified. β-Actin was used as a house-keeping standard. Representative Western blots were shown (e 1 ,f 1 ) with a total of n = 21 cases quantified. # p < 0.1, * p < 0.05, ** p <0.001. Abbreviations : cont, control; def, definite AD; GL, granule cell layer; mol, molecular layer; pos, possible AD; prob, probable AD; pyr, pyramidal layer; rad, radial layer. Scale bars = 40 µm (a 1 ,c 1 ), 15 µm (b 1 ,d 1 ).

Article Snippet: Antibody generation and specificity ( a ) Within the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project, rabbits were immunized against the amino acid sequences highlighted within CCT2 (2x) and CCT3. ( b ) The specificity of anti-CCT2 antibodies (note their HPA database designations) were first tested in protein Epitope Tag (PrEST) screens. ( c ) Subsequently, antibody specificity was substantiated on Western blots from both cell lines and post-mortem hippocampal homogenates.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a,b ) Intracellular Aβ accumulation in CA1 pyramidal neurons was found as early as in possible AD. ( c ) CCT2-like immunoreactivity was mutually exclusive with Aβ intracellularly; as was confirmed by plotting fluorescence signal intensity in affected neurons (along the line between 1,2 (example); d ). ( e ) Similarly, CCT3-like immunoreactivity was excluded from Aβ-laden sub-cellular areas ( f ). Asterisks denote the location of nuclei. Scale bars = 15 µm (a,b), 2 µm (e,f).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Overview of the hippocampal formation and the parahippocampal gyrus immunostained for CCT2 from a subject with possible AD. ( b ) Heat-map of tau immunoreactivity color-coded from low (blue) to high (red) abundance. Arrowheads point to a tau-bearing locus. #1 and #2 are shown at higher magnification in panel (e). ( c,d ) The accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau commenced in the perinuclear cytoplasm, with a gradual spread towards dendrites. Both CCT2-like and CCT3-like immunoreactivities were reduced subcellularly where tau accumulation occurred ( arrows ). Asterisks denote the positions of nuclei. ( e ) Comparison of CCT2-like immunoreactivity in cell ensembles in hippocampal CA1 in control vs . possible AD. ( f ) CCT2-like immunoreactivity was significantly reduced (* p <. 0.05). Scale bars = 100 µm (a), 50 µm (b), 17 µm (e), 2 µm (c,d).
