Figure 2. Comparative proteome analysis of 3×Tg-AD and control samples at different stages of AD. ; (A, B, C) Activation of biological processes at different stages of the disease assessed by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Heat maps represent activation z-score change over the course of disease progression and indicate pathways that are activated at 6M (A), 12M (B) and 18M (C). Data were obtained from four biological replicates per group for each time point. Z-score is calculated based on experimental protein expression data (log2 AD/control ratio) and the theoretical information stored in the IPA Knowledge Base. Positive value of z-score indicates an activation of biological pathway or function. Distribution of the quantified proteins at 2M (D), 6M (E), 12M (F) and 18M (G) based on log2 ratio AD/Control and p-value (t-test) by time point. The pie charts represent the number of quantified non-regulated proteins (grey), significantly different proteins between 3×Tg-AD and control samples, t-test p-value 0.05 (pink) and significantly regulated proteins with more than 50% expression change in comparison to the control (red). (H–I) Dynamics of protein expression over the course of AD progression for a selection of the most regulated proteins based on their function. Proteins involved in mRNA processing and transport (H) that are upregulated over time and serine protease inhibitors (I) that are downregulated. (J–M) Putative presymptomatic protein markers of the disease. (J) Top 10 significantly up- and downregulated proteins in 3×Tg-AD mice at presymptomatic time point (2M). (K) Immunoblot analysis of most regulated hits. Soluble fractions of brain proteins were analyzed from four 2-month-old control and 3×Tg-AD mice animals, respectively. Hebp1 and Glo1 levels were consistently elevated in the transgenic animals as compared to wild type controls. Ca1 levels were reduced in transgenic animals. Presymptomatic markers that remain up- (L) or downregulated (M) across the AD progression.

Figure 3. SMARCB1 KD prevents neural induction and upregulation of neural differentiation-related genes. ; (A) Top: Control and SMARCB1 KD cells subjected to a 5 day definitive endoderm protocol induction protocol stained for SOX17 (red) and with DAPI (blue). Bottom: Flow cytometry histograms showing similar percentages of CXCR4+ cells in control and SMARCB1 KD cells subjected to this protocol. (B) Top: Control and SMARCB1 KD cells subjected to a 4-day mesodermal induction protocol stained for EOMES (green) and with DAPI (blue). Bottom: qPCR analysis of control and SMARCB1 KD cells subjected to the same protocol for the early mesodermal markers GOOSECOID, HAND1, and FOXF1. All qPCR results are relative to steady state hESCs and are normalized to the geometric mean of 18S and GAPDH levels. (C) Top: Control and SMARCB1 KD cells subjected to a 6 day directed neural induction protocol stained for PAX6 (red), OCT4 (green), and with DAPI (blue). Bottom: qPCR analysis showing a failure of SMARCB1 KD cells to upregulate neural differentiation markers PAX6, CHD2, NESTIN, and MS1. (D) Top: Control and SMARCB1 KD embryoid bodies (EBs) subjected to a neural induction protocol. Bottom: qPCR analysis showing a failure of SMARCB1 KD cells to upregulate the neural differentiation markers PAX6, CHD2, NESTIN, and MS1. (E) Top: Volcano plot illustrating the extent and significance of differential gene expression between control and SMARCB1 KD cells subjected to neural induction protocol as determined by RNAseq (q < 0.01 and FC > 2.0). Bottom: RNAseq tracks PAX6 for steady state hESCs as well as control and SMARCB1 KD cells subjected to a monolayer neural induction protocol. Flat lines indicate undetectable or nearly undetectable expression at the scale used. (F) Top: Activation scores for IPA Nervous System Development sub-categories, considering genes expressed at lower levels in SMARCB1 KD cells compared to controls following the neural induction protocol. Bottom: Activation scores for IPA Embryonic Development sub-categories, considering genes expressed at higher levels in levels in SMARCB1 KD cells compared to controls following the neural induction protocol.
