Figure 1
Effect of GS dilutions on ATP levels and cell viability after 24h treatment. 3C and 5C increased bothparameters: (a) the ATP production and (b) the cell survival. Vehicle (Veh) treatment had no effect on ATPlevels compared to CTRL cells. Values represent the mean± SEM (n = 13-18 replicates) of �veindependent experiments and were normalized to the untreated control group (CTRL, 100%, S1 Table).One-way ANOVA ((a, b): P0.0001) and post hoc Dunnett’s multiple comparison test versus untreatedcontrol cells, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. One-way ANOVA and post hoc Dunnett’s multiplecomparison test versus vehicle treated cells, ##P<0.01, ###P<0.001.
Figure 2
GS dilutions positively regulates bioenergetic activity in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. (a) Oxygenconsumption rate (OCR) and (b) the extracellular acidi�cation rate (ECAR) were measured simultaneouslyin SH-SY5Y cells after treatment (24h) with the GS dilutions 3C and 5C as well as the positive control NGFand compared to the untreated control cells after normalization using a XF24 Analyser (SeahorseBioscience). Values represent the mean± SEM (n = 19-39 replicates) of four independent experiments (S2Table). (c) Bioenergetic phenotype (OCR versus ECAR) of SH-SY5Y cells revealed an increased metabolicactivity after treatment with 3C and 5C. Values represent the mean of each group (mean of the ECAR inabscissa/ mean of the OCR in ordinate) and were normalized to the untreated control group (CTRL,100%). One-way ANOVA ((a): P=0.0031, (b) P=0.0001) and post hoc Dunnett’s multiple comparison testversus untreated control cells *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. OCR, Oxygen Consumption Rate(mitochondrial respiration); ECAR, Extracellular Acidi�cation Rate (Glycolysis).
Figure 3
The GS dilutions 3C and 5C improved the neurite outgrowth of neuroblastoma cells after 3 days oftreatment in a 2D cell culture. Pictures were taken using a confocal microscope (x10). Pictures in the
upper panel (S1 Figure) display neurite extension between the cells (βIII- tubuline/Alexa488, green) andDraQ5 (nucleus, red). Quanti�cation of the neurite outgrowth parameters such as the attachment points(middle panels) and the endpoint numbers (lower panels), after NGF or GS treatment are shown in themiddle and lower panel (Blue: soma, red: neurite, green point: attachment point, yellow point: endpoint).CTRL: untreated control cells.
Figure 4
GS dilutions 3C and 5C increased the neurite outgrowth of neuroblastoma cells after 3 days of treatmentin a 2D cell culture. Quanti�cation of Figure 3 using NeurophologyJ (S3 Table). 3C and 5C signi�cantlyincreased: (a) number of neurites (neurite count), (b) total neurite length, (c) number of attachment pointsand (d) number of endpoint. The effect of GS dilutions was similar than the positive control NGF whencompared to the untreated cells. Values represent the mean± SEM of three independent experiments andwere normalized to 100% of untreated control cells (CTRL). One way ANOVA (a-d: P0.0001)) and posthoc Dunnett’s multiple comparisons versus untreated control cells ***P<0.001.
Figure 5
GS dilutions 3C and 5C induced neurite extension in a 3D-matrix by increasing the neurite outgrowth ofneuroblastoma cells after 3 days of treatment. Pictures were obtained by merging 3–4 layers of cells (z-stack projection) on 3D-matrix using the multi-label plate reader Cytation3 (x20). Pictures display neuriteextension between the cells (Immunostaining (IMS) with βIII- tubuline/Alexa488 (green) and DAPI (blue)).CTRL: untreated control cells.
