doi: 10.64898/2025.12.28.696549
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Levels of caveolin-1, CHC, EEA1, RAB5, RAB7, RAB9, RAB11, and actin in SH-SY5Y cells expressing tau alone or tau with FAM84B-Myc (n=3 each). (B) CHC levels in the cerebral cortex of HC (n=3) and patients with VD (n=3), CBD (n=3), PSP (n=4), PART (n=3), and AD (n=6). (C) Levels of CHC and actin in iPSC-derived CN from HC and patients with AD (n=3 each). (D) Changes in the levels of tau and FAM84B (Myc) in the CM from SH-SY5Y cells expressing tau alone or tau with FAM84B-Myc after treatment with either DMSO or Pitstop2 (n=3 each). (E) Changes in the levels of phosphorylated tau (S396) in the CM from SH-SY5Y cells expressing tau alone or tau with FAM84B-Myc after treatment with either DMSO or Pitstop2 (n=8 each). (F) Changes in the levels of PHF-1, total tau, FAM84B (Myc), CHC, and actin in SH-SY5Y cells expressing tau alone or tau with FAM84B-Myc after treatment with either DMSO or Pitstop2 (n=8 each). (G) PHF-1 spread from SH-SY5Y cells expressing Tau-p2a-eGFP with FAM84B to neighboring cells in response to treatment with either DMSO or Pitstop2 (n=4 each). Arrows indicate recipient cells (red) to which tau has been transmitted. Solid boxes in the images indicate magnified areas. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analyses: (B) ordinary two-way ANOVA; (A, C-G) unpaired two-tailed t -test with Welch’s correction; ns: not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Abbreviations: CHC, clathrin heavy chain; HC, healthy control; VD, vascular dementia; CBD, corticobasal degeneration; PSP, progressive supranuclear palsy; PART, primary age-related tauopathy; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; CN, cortical neuron; CM, conditioned medium; PHF-1, phosphorylated tau at S396/S404 residue; FOV, field of view.
