After PET/MR scanning had been completed, tissue containing sciatic nerve and adjacent muscle was rapidly harvested from both hind limbs of rats from each group. For whole nerve autoradiography, the nerves were exposed to a phosphor screen (medium MultiSensitive Phosphor Screen; PerkinElmer) for 12 h. The screen was imaged using a Typhoon 9410 Variable Mode Imager (Amersham Biosciences), and resulting images were analyzed by ImageJ (Image Processing and Analysis in Java, version 1.46; http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/index.html). For nerve/muscle sections, tissue blocks were quickly frozen in optimal cutting temperature (O.C.T.) compound (Tissue-Tek, Sakura, USA) and 6 μm-thick sections were cut using a cryostat microtome HM500 (Microm) and mounted on microscope slides (Fisherbrand Superfrost® Plus Microscope Slides). The mounted sections were air-dried for 10 min and then exposed to 18F-sensitive storage phosphor screens (Perkin Elmer) for 12 h. The image plates were scanned with a Typhoon 9410 Variable Mode Imager (Amersham Biosciences), and resulting images were analyzed by ImageJ.

Neuro-2a cells were seeded in 10 cm dishes at a concentration of 1 × 106 (blank control) or 2 × 106 (mCherry-C-TDP-43 overexpression) cells/mL. After overnight incubation, Neuro-2a cells were transfected with the mCherry-C-TDP-43 plasmid (10 μg) using Lipofectamine® 3000 (Invitrogen) and incubated for another 24 h. The transfected cells were then harvested with RIPA buffer containing complete protease inhibitor (Roche) and sonicated on ice (10 s, two repetitions). Next, PROTAC 2 at various concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μM) was added to each extract (identical protein quantity, 100 μg). The mixtures (PROTAC 2 + cell lysate) were gently shaken at 4 °C for 2 h. After that, the mixtures were fractionated and the RIPA-insoluble fraction were resuspended with RIPA buffer and loaded on CA membrane by applying filter trap assay. The fluorescent PROTAC 2 retained on C-TDP-43 aggregates was detected by Typhoon9410 Variable Mode Imager (Amersham BioScience, Piscataway, NJ, USA) (λex = 457 nm, λem = 488 nm).
