Microglial TNF-α is induced by Aβ42 independently of BDNF. pMG were treated with Aβ42 (0.5 μM) for 5 h. Co-localization of TNF-α with Iba1 or GFAP in mxG cells was determined by triple immunostaining followed by image cytofluorometric analysis of the percentage of immunopositive cells (A) and mean fluorescence intensity of TNF-α (MFI; B). BF = brightfield. Western blot analysis of TNF-α in pMG treated with BDNF (1 ng/ml for 24 h) or with Aβ42 (0.5 μM for 5 h) alone or in combination GNF (100 nM; C). Western blot analysis of SYP in SH-SY5Y cells treated with Aβ42 (0.5 μM for 5 h) alone or in combination with TNF-α (10 ng/ml) and BDNF (1 ng/ml) (D). Blots were cropped to display specific bands. Original blots are reported in Supplementary Fig. 3. Values are mean ± SEM with n = 3–5. *p < 0.05 vs. untreated control by one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-Keuls test for significance.
