FIGURE 8.
ECH modulates the ratio of F-actin and G-actin. (A) representative images of F-actin and G-actin in the hippocampus of Non-Tg mice and 2 × Tg-AD mice administrated with or without ECH. Immunofluorescence assay showed the colocalization of F-actin (red) and G-actin (green), scale bar = 50 μm (Upper three-row panel) and scale bar = 20 μm (Fourth-row panel). (B) Mander’s overlap colocalization analysis of data represented in (A). (mean ± SEM; n = 3, 35 cells were analyzed per condition). (C) Cerebral F-actin/G-actin ratio in Non-Tg mice and 2 × Tg-AD mice administrated with or without ECH. Non-Tg, non-transgenic littermates; 2 × Tg-AD, APPswe/PS1dE9 mice; Veh, vehicle (normal saline); ECH, echinacoside; NS, no significant difference.
