Right, Quantification of the number of dendritic spines per 10 μm of dendrite (shCtrl + vehicle, n = 19 individual dendrites; shCtrl + PiB, n = 16 individual dendrites; shSult4a1 + vehicle, n = 19 individual dendrites; shSult4a1 + PiB, n = 17 individual dendrites; one-way ANOVA, p = 0.0003; Tukey's post hoc test: shCtrl + vehicle vs shSult4a1 + vehicle, p = 0.0096; shCtrl + PiB vs shSult4a1 vehicle, p = 0.0005; shSult4a1 + vehicle vs shSult4a1 + PiB, p = 0.0044). shCtrl vehicle vs shSult4a1 vehicle, **p = 0.0096; shCtrl PiB vs shSult4a vehicle, ***p = 0.0005; shSult4avehicle vs shSult4a1 PiB **p = 0.0044. D, Left, Representative immunofluorescence images showing dendritic spines of rat cortical neurons transfected with shCtrl or shSult4a1 and treated at DIV12 for 48 h with 4 μm DTM, a pharmacological inhibitor of Pin1 catalytic activity, or vehicle (DMSO). Scale bar, 10 µm. Right, Quantification of the number of dendritic spines per 10 μm of dendrite (shCtrl + vehicle, n = 10 individual dendrites; shCtrl + DTM, n = 10 individual dendrites; shSult4a1 + vehicle, n = 11 individual dendrites; shSult4a1 + DTM, n = 10 individual dendrites; Kruskal–Wallis test, p = 0.0006; Dunn's post hoc test: shCtrl + vehicle vs shSult4a1 + vehicle, p = 0.0301; shCtrl + DTM vs shSult4a1 vehicle, p = 0.0012; shSult4a1 + vehicle vs shSult4a1 + DTM, p = 0.0005). shCtrl vehicle vs shSult4a1 vehicle, *p = 0.0301; shCtrl DTM vs shSult4a1 vehicle, **p = 0.0012; shSult4a1 vehicle vs shSult4a1 DTM,**p = 0.0005). E, Cartoon showing the hypothesized mechanism. SULT4A1 interacts with Pin1 promoting the formation of the PSD-95/NMDAR complex in excitatory synapses. In the absence of SULT4A1, Pin1 is free to interact with PSD-95, reducing NMDAR expression in synapses. Data represent the mean ± SEM.
