(A) SEAP activity assay in the culture medium of SY5Y cells transiently transfected with CREB-sensitive pCRE-SEAP or the CREB-insensitive pTAL-SEAP reporter gene and treated for 3 hr with 0.75 μM monomeric, oligomeric or fibrillar Aβ in the presence or absence of the adenilate cyclase activator forskolin (10 μM). N=4 independent replicates per group; *: p<0.01 vs. forskolin-treated vehicle cells (ANOVA).
(B) SEAP activity assay in the culture medium of SY5Y cells transiently transfected with pCRE-SEAP reporter gene and treated for 3 hr with 0.75 μM oligomeric Aβ in the presence of 10 μM forskolin (FRSK). Parallel cells were additionally treated with 1 or 5 μM FK506. N=3–4 independent replicates per group; *: p<0.05 vs. forskolin+oligomeric Aβ-treated cells (ANOVA).
