    Images and quantitation of cholinotrophic basal forebrain neuron pathology within the nucleus basalis of Meynert in DSD+, DSD- and AMC cases (A–N) Photomicrographs show <t>p75</t> NTR (brown, A-C), ChAT (purple, D-F) positive cells in AMC, DSD-, and DSD+ cases. Note the decrease in the number and intensity of both p75 NTR and ChAT labeled neurons in DSD- cases compared to an even greater reduction in DSD+ and globose shaped cells (black arrows) in DSD+ cases (C, F). Arrows in (A–F) mark cells shown at a higher magnification in the boxed areas located at the lower right corner of each panel. Dark brown AT8 (G, I) and TauC3 (H, J) bearing neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) were observed only in the DSD- and DSD+ cases. Black arrows indicate globose shaped NFTs (G, H, and I) that are shown at a higher magnification in boxed areas adjacent to the lower magnification images. Note that not all neurons within the nbM (thin black arrows) contained tau pathology (G, H) in DSD- cases. Moreover, TauC3 staining revealed two NFT phenotypes that displayed either peripherally located or intense labeling that filled the entire structure (see boxed images adjacent to (H) and (J)). Scale bar in F = 50 μm and inset = 20 μm applies to panels A-E. Scale bar in J = 20 μm and inset = 20 μm applies to (G–J). Histograms show a significant reduction in both p75 NTR (K) and ChAT (L) positive cells in DSD+ compared to AMC. Although no significant were found in number of AT8 or TauC3 NFT positive cells (M), there was an increase in NTs in DSD+ compared to DSD- (N). ACM n = 5, DSD- n = 5, DSD+ n = 10. Data shown are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using the Kruskal–Wallis’s test followed by Dunn’s test for comparisons across three clinical groups, and the Mann–Whitney test for comparisons between two groups (DSD- vs. DSD+). Significance levels (∗) were set at: ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.

    | Construction of TEN in vitro and tracing of GFP-SKP-SCs in vivo . (a) Isolation and culture of SKPs from the back skin of 1 to 3-day-old newborn rat. HE staining and immunostainings of fibronectin, nestin, vimentin, and versican showed the location of SKPs around the dermal hair follicle area of the newborn rat. Phase contrast image showed the SKP spheres were generated from juvenile SKPs after 14 days of culture. (b) Characterizations by the immunostainings of nestin, sca-1, vimentin, fibronectin, and versican for SKPs and (c) the immunostainings of S100β, GFAP and <t>p75</t> NTR for SKP-SCs. (d) The GFP-SKP-SCs cultured with chitosan/silk fibroin neural scaffolds in a perfusion bioreactor (termed the RCCMax system). (e) SEM images and immunofluorescence images showed the micromorphology of GFP-SKP-SCs cultured on silk fibroin filaments and chitosan conduit. (f) SCs markers (S100 β, GFAP and p75 NTR ) and ECM molecules (collagen I, collagen IV, fibronectin and laminin) were confirmed by immunostainings on the silk fibroin filaments 7 days post construction of TEN. (g) The GFP-SKP-SCs-containing, chitosan/SF-fabricated TEN was applied in repairing the 10 mm sciatic nerve defect in wild type rat. The grafting segment was obtained, sectioned longitudinally, and then subjected to GFP fluorescent monitoring under microscopic observation. A linear end-to-end arrangement of GFP-SKP-SCs was observed at the implantation site three weeks post-implantation of the TEN.

    Images and quantitation of cholinotrophic basal forebrain neuron pathology within the nucleus basalis of Meynert in DSD+, DSD- and AMC cases (A–N) Photomicrographs show p75 NTR (brown, A-C), ChAT (purple, D-F) positive cells in AMC, DSD-, and DSD+ cases. Note the decrease in the number and intensity of both p75 NTR and ChAT labeled neurons in DSD- cases compared to an even greater reduction in DSD+ and globose shaped cells (black arrows) in DSD+ cases (C, F). Arrows in (A–F) mark cells shown at a higher magnification in the boxed areas located at the lower right corner of each panel. Dark brown AT8 (G, I) and TauC3 (H, J) bearing neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) were observed only in the DSD- and DSD+ cases. Black arrows indicate globose shaped NFTs (G, H, and I) that are shown at a higher magnification in boxed areas adjacent to the lower magnification images. Note that not all neurons within the nbM (thin black arrows) contained tau pathology (G, H) in DSD- cases. Moreover, TauC3 staining revealed two NFT phenotypes that displayed either peripherally located or intense labeling that filled the entire structure (see boxed images adjacent to (H) and (J)). Scale bar in F = 50 μm and inset = 20 μm applies to panels A-E. Scale bar in J = 20 μm and inset = 20 μm applies to (G–J). Histograms show a significant reduction in both p75 NTR (K) and ChAT (L) positive cells in DSD+ compared to AMC. Although no significant were found in number of AT8 or TauC3 NFT positive cells (M), there was an increase in NTs in DSD+ compared to DSD- (N). ACM n = 5, DSD- n = 5, DSD+ n = 10. Data shown are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using the Kruskal–Wallis’s test followed by Dunn’s test for comparisons across three clinical groups, and the Mann–Whitney test for comparisons between two groups (DSD- vs. DSD+).

Note that ThS positive NFTs that do not contain AT8 also do not colocalize with MAP2 (O-R). Scale bar in F = 25 μm applies to panels A-G, N = 25 μm applies to panels I-M and R = 10 μm and applies to O-Q. Graph showing a significant reduction in both p75 NTR AT8 immuno-negative, and p75 NTR MAP2 dual labeled neurons in DSD+ compared to DSD- (S). ThS-positive cells were greater (T), while the percentage of double-labeled cells with AT8 and ThS decreased (U) in DSD+ compared to individuals without dementia. DSD- n = 5, DSD+ n = 5. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using Mann–Whitney test for comparisons between DSD- and DSD+. Significance levels (∗) were set at: ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01.

    ( A ) Schematic indicating the results of high-throughput cell-cell screening of B7-1 and p75 NTR against 395 members of the human Ig and TNFR superfamilies. B7-1–expressing cells bound to cells expressing CD28, CTLA-4, and p75 NTR , but not cells expressing PD-L1. p75 NTR –expressing cells bound to cells expressing B7-1 and PTPRF. ( B ) Representative flow plots demonstrating that hB7-1–mCherry cells and PTPRF-mCherry cells bind to cells expressing p75 NTR -GFP cells, but not GFP control cells. ( C ) Binding between B7-1 and p75 NTR was validated by recombinant protein titrations of p75 NTR -mIgG2A and CTLA-4–mIgG2A onto streptavidin beads coated with B7-1–hIgG1 biotin. Binding was detected using an anti-mIgG2A antibody, flow cytometry and binding curves were generated, and B max , EC 50 , and Hill coefficient (coeff.) were calculated using the equation Y = B max × X h /( Kd h + X h ). n = 2–3. Error bars represent SEM. ( D ) Cells expressing B7-1–mCherry from various mammalian species were screened against human p75 NTR -GFP–expressing cells (top left, n = 2–4), mouse p75 NTR -GFP–expressing cells (top right, n = 2–3), rat p75 NTR -GFP–expressing cells (bottom left n = 2–3), or cells expressing only GFP (bottom right, n = 3), indicating that B7-1:p75 NTR interactions are conserved in primates, but not mice. **** P < 0.0001, 1-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons. Each assay represents the indicated number of independent experiments, which each include a single replicate. For mouse B7-1, rat B7-1, and mCherry cells alone, only 2 independent experiments were conducted, each with 2 biological replicates.
