A2AR blockade prevents microglia complement cascade alterations induced by ARPE-19 debris. Human microglia were exposed to 5 µg/mL ARPE-19 apoptotic cell debris for 6 h in the presence or absence of A2AR antagonist. The mRNA expression levels of complement cascade components C3 (A), CFB (B), CFH (C), CFI (D), C5AR1 (E), CD46 (F) and CD55 (G) were assessed by qPCR. Results are normalized to control and presented as the mean ± SEM of 5 independent experiments (the individual data points for each condition are also presented). Kruskall-Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test.
