Actin was detected in the undigested homogenates (no PK) and served as loading control. Densitometric quantification of relative protein amounts from two technical replicates is shown on the right. ( B ) Morphological analysis of neuropathological lesions in forebrains (showing hippocampal and cortical brain regions) of A10 cKO, littermate controls, and tg a 20 mice at the aforementioned time points (scale bars: 200 µm in overviews and 100 µm in insets and for PrP Sc ). ( C ) Biochemical assessment of candidate toxic signaling pathways showing protein levels of total Fyn (t-Fyn), phosphorylated (Tyr416) Src (p-Src) as well as total (t-Erk1/2) and phosporylated (Thr202/Tyr204) Erk1/2 (p-Erk1/2). Actin served as a loading control and for normalization (# and § indicate use of the same actins as corresponding signaling proteins were detected on the same Western blot).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Representative Western blot analysis of calpain expression in non-prion infected ADAM10 cKO and control mice. In addition, premature (pADAM10), mature ADAM10 (mADAM10) and PrP C were detected. Quantification of calpain levels by densitometric analysis of ADAM10 cKO (n = 4) and control mice (n = 5) is shown below. Actin served as loading control. ( B ) Western blot analysis of spectrin (FL = full length) and spectrin breakdown products (SBDP) in prion-infected ADAM10 cKO and control mice at 95 days post inoculation (dpi; n = 3 per genotype). FL spectrin was reduced in ADAM10 cKO mice whereas calpain-dependent SBDP (marked by asterisk at 150/145 kDa) were not increased. ( C ) Western blot analysis of p35 and p25 levels in prion-infected samples mentioned in ( B ). A reduction in p35 levels was found in two out of three ADAM10 cKO mice. A band corresponding to p25 was not detectable. # indicates that blots used for calpain detection were re-probed with an antibody against p35/p25 and thus the same actin signals were used as loading controls.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ADAM10 regulates PrP C levels at the plasma membrane and releases almost full length PrP into the extracellular space. Thereby it affects (i) neurotoxicity, (ii) PrP Sc formation, and (iii) spreading of prion pathology. (i) Lack of ADAM10 (as assessed here by use of A10 cKO mice) results in elevated PrP C membrane levels. Membrane levels of PrP C (as a receptor) likely determine PrP Sc -associated neurotoxicity (as indicated by sizes of thunderbolts and skulls) and thereby incubation times with shortest survival in tg a 20 mice and reduced incubation times in A10 cKO mice compared with wild-type littermates with longest survival (order reflected by grey triangles on the left). (ii) Shed PrP, which is most efficiently produced in tg a 20 and absent in A10 cKO mice, might block formation of PrP Sc . This is reflected by the different PrP Sc amounts found in our different experimental groups (A10 cKO > wild-type littermates > tg a 20 ). The combination of increased PrP C membrane levels and PrP Sc formation in A10 cKO mice might favor increased production of membrane pores (as indicated in the middle row on the left) and neurotoxic Ca 2+ influx with possible (‘?’) involvement of calpain. (iii) Finally, spread of prion-associated pathology within the brain also seems to be affected by the levels of ADAM10 expression since tg a 20 mice showed enhanced whereas A10 cKO mice showed reduced dissemination of neuropathological features (as indicated by size of arrowheads on the right). Key references supporting this model are given in the text. Based on this model, stimulation of ADAM10 might therefore offer a treatment option. With regard to incubation times, protective effects by reducing local membrane bound PrP C amounts and by producing a protective soluble fragment able to block PrP Sc formation seem to predominate the disadvantage of increased spread by production of anchorless prions.
