Figure 4From: The mTOR kinase inhibitor Everolimus decreases S6 kinase phosphorylation but fails to reduce mutant huntingtin levels in brain and is not neuroprotective in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington's diseaseEverolimus does not affect LC3BII levels in mouse HD brain. There is no significant effect of everolimus on normalized LC3BII levels in striatum and cortex (A). There is a trend towards increased normalized LC3BII levels in muscle of everolimus treated R6/2 mice (global p-value = 0.12) (B). Mice were treated from 4-12 weeks and sacrificed 4-hours after the last dose. X-axes show genotype-dose combinations. TG = transgenic, WT = wild-type. n = 10.Back to article page
