All samples were run in triplicate and were analyzed on an ABI 7900 HT Quickly Actual Time PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems – Life Technologies). Relative gene expression was normalized to GAPDH controls and assessed applying the 2-CT method. Primer sequences are as follows (5 to 3): Gapdh F: CTGCACCAC CAACTGCTTAG, Gapdh R: ACAGTCTTCTGGGT GGCA GT, Aif1 (Iba1) F: GGATTTGCAGGGAGGAAA AG Aif1 (Iba1) R: TGGGATCATCGAGGAATTG, Gfap F: GGAGAGGGACAACTTTGCAC, Gfap R: AGCCTCA GGTTGGTTTCATC, human-specific MAPT F: CTCC AAAATCAGGGGATCGC, human-specific MAPT R: C CTTGCTCAGGTCAACTGGT [1, 13]. Group sizes for qRT-PCR evaluation incorporated n = 16 GFP-AAV, n = 11 TauP301L-AAV, and n = 12 TauA152T-AAV mice.Behavioral assessmentThe battery of behavioral tasks utilized in the current study incorporates: open field assay (OFA), elevated plus maze (EPM) test, contextual and cued fear conditioning, and rotarod. For every test, mice had been acclimated towards the area of testing for 1 h, and all tests have been performed through the initial half of your light cycle (with all the exception of cued worry conditioning) on consecutive days, as described [6]. Behavioral gear was cleaned with 30 ethanol in between animals, and mice have been returned to their household cage and holding room in the conclusion of every single test. Group sizes for behavioral testing incorporated n = 16 GFP-AAV, n = 20 TauP301L-AAV, and n = 12 TauA152T-AAV.Open-field assayBaseline freezing behavior was recorded by placing mice inside the chamber and leaving them undisturbed for 2 min, following which a conditioned stimulus (CS; 80-dB white noise) was presented for 30 s. Within the last two s from the CS, mice received a mild foot shock (0.5 mA), which served because the unconditioned stimulus (US). An additional CS-US pair was presented 1 min later, and also the mouse was removed and returned to its dwelling cage 30 s just after the second CS-US pair. Twenty-four hours later, the contextual worry conditioning test was performed in which each and every mouse was returned to the test chamber and freezing behavior was recorded for 5 min. Mice had been then returned to their house cage and placed inside a various space than previously tested with lowered lighting conditions, and permitted to acclimate for 1 hour. For the cued worry conditioning test, environmental and contextual cues have been changed by: cleaning testing chambers with 30 isopropyl alcohol instead of 30 ethanol; replacing white house lights with red residence lights; placing a colored plastic triangular insert within the chamber to alter its shape and spatial cues; covering the wire grid floor with opaque plastic; an.
