Complex and Multidimensional Lipid Raft Alterations in a Murine Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Figure 3

Differential protein expression in control versus 3xTgAD lipid raft extracts. (a) Proportionately drawn Venn diagram analysis of reliably identified proteins from control lipid rafts (blue line) and 3xTgAD rafts (red line). (b) Total protein loading control for centrifugal fraction 2. A total of 50 mg of fraction 2 protein was loaded and stained with SYPRO Ruby and scanned using a phosphorimager. (c)–(n). Representative western blots from multiple expression analysis experiments for differential presentation of proteins in fraction 2 extracts from control (blue) or 3xTgAD mice (red). Associated with each panel (c)–(n) the associated histograms represent the mean ± s.e. mean of protein expression intensity (measured in ((AU-B)/px2)) from at least three separate experiments. * ; ** ; *** . Protein abbreviations are as follows. FAK: focal adhesion kinase; Pyk2: proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2; GIT-1: GRK interactor-1; Jak2: Janus kinase 2; Crk: v-Crk avian sarcoma virus CT10 oncogene homolog; Fyn: Fyn tyrosine kinase; IRS-1: insulin receptor substrate-1; casp 7: caspase 7; mTOR: mammalian target of rapamycin; Grin2: G protein-regulated inducer of neurite outgrowth 2; IGF-1R: insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor.
