Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Quantification of Tau Puncta (TP) in Tau-GBA1 WT(XX) and Tau-GBA1 L444P/L444P(I) α fibroblasts at basal conditions (mean ± sem normalized on Tau-GBA WT(XX) , n = 55–60). Mann-Whitney test, *** p 0.0004. ( B ) Quantification of Tau puncta in Tau-GBA1 L444P/L444P(I) α fibroblasts treated overnight in the absence (ctrl) or presence (seeds) of Alzheimer’s brain-derived Tau seeds (mean ± sem normalized on ctrl, n = 45). Mann-Whitney test, **** p 4 × 10 − 11 . A representative image of ctrl or Tau seeds conditions are shown (Tau in magenta, nuclei stained with DAPI in blue). ( C ) GCase activity in Tau-GBA1 L444P/L444P(I) α fibroblasts treated overnight in the absence or presence of Tau seeds (mean ± sem normalized on ctrl, n = 3). Mann-Whitney test, not significant. ( D ) as in B. for Tau-GBA1 WT(XX) fibroblasts ( n = 45). Mann-Whitney test, **** p 0.00001. ( E ) as in C. for Tau-GBA1 WT(XX) fibroblasts ( n = 6–9). Mann-Whitney test, not significant. ( F ) Dose-dependent reduction of Tau Puncta in Tau- GBA1 L444P/L444P(I) α fibroblasts or ( G ) in GBA1 WT(XX) fibroblasts treated for 4 days with the indicated amount of GT-02216 (mean ± sem normalized on vehicle, no seed ctrl, n = 15–45). 2way ANOVA ( p < .0001 for GT-02216 concentration and seeds) and Šídák’s multiple tests against vehicle, **** p < .0001.
Article Snippet: Human full-length wild-type GCase protein (Cerezyme, Genzyme, Naarden, NL) was immobilized on the SPR CM5 sensor (GE Healthcare, #29149603,) by standard amino coupling using relatively high protein concentration of 100 μg/mL.
