Assessment of Aβ-targeting Adu-synNotch activation in an in vitro model of Aβ . (a) Expression cassette of EF1A-regulated Adu-synNotch <t>and</t> <t>SNAP-tag.</t> The VLC and VHC of Aducanumab is fused by a flexible G4S(3) linker to form an scFv, with an N-terminal human CD8α signal peptide (SP; white) for membrane localization. The SNAP-tag has an NLS to target the reporter to the nucleus. Adu-synNotch and SNAP-tag are separated by a T2A sequence for bicistronic expression. (b) Gal4UASmCMV-regulated CLIP-tag under the control of Adu-synNotch activation. The CLIP-tag contains an NLS for nuclear targeting. (c) Adu-synNotch regulating CLIP-tag expression in NIH 3T3 cells. (1) Adu-synNotch and SNAP-tag are constitutively expressed. SNAP expression in the nucleus is proportional to synNotch transcription. (2) Activation of Adu-synNotch by Aβ. (3) Adu-synNotch activation results in the expression of nuclear-targeted CLIP-tag. (4) Adu-synNotch activation results in colocalization of SNAP-tag and CLIP-tag, used to normalize Adu-synNotch activation to copy-number integration. (d) Schematic overview of the experiments. A day after plating cells, AβO (1−42) treatments are added for 48 h, after which cells are labeled with CLIP-tag and SNAP-tag substrates and processed for confocal image analyses. (e) <t>3D</t> maximum intensity projection confocal images of clones expressing Adu-synNotch under the indicated treatment conditions. Yellow boxes are an expanded view of regions within the tile scans. DAPI for cell nuclei, SNAP-tag for transduced cells, and CLIP-tag for synNotch activation. DAPI + /SNAP − white arrowheads (untransduced), DAPI + /SNAP + /CLIP − yellow arrows (inactive Adu-synNotch), DAPI + /SNAP + /CLIP + white arrows (active Adu-synNotch). Scale bar: 200 μm tile scans; 40 μm expanded view. (f-i) Quantification of (f) the number of SNAP-positive cells, (g) mean SNAP and (h) CLIP as well as (i) CLIP to SNAP ratio. Voxel intensity is in arbitrary units (au). Statistics: (f , h , i) Independent t -test and (g) Welch’s t -test. Two-tails. Three independent experiments. * p <.05, ** p <.01. Error Bars 1x SEM
