(C) The p53-activating drug Tenovin-1 (TEN1) protects spinal cord motor neurons from SOD1G85R-induced proteotoxicity. Rat spinal cord cultures were grown as described in Materials and Methods and treated with 0.8 μM TEN1 or vehicle (VEH) DMSO, followed by infection of HSV-SOD1G85R or the HSV-LacZ control after 24 h. At day 5 post-infection, cells were fixed and stained with a motor neuron-specific anti-neurofilament H (NF-H) antibody. Left: representative images of motor neurons in each condition. Scale bar = 50 μm. Right: quantification of motor neuron survival (one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons and Tukey correction). Data represent means ± SEM.
