CM from microglia restores synaptic activity impaired following Aβ42 exposure. SH-SY5Y cells were treated for 5 h with Aβ42 (0.5 μM) in non-conditioned medium or in CM from untreated (CMC) or Aβ-treated (CMA) pMG. Cells were stained with FM 1–43 dye and treated to allow formation of labeled synaptic vesicles (loading). Fluorescence intensity was evaluated at the end of the loading step (A) and after unloading of fluorescent vesicles by stimulation of exocytosis (B). Representative images of cells stained with FM 1–43 in each condition, in the loading and unloading step, are reported next to corresponding graphs. Immunostaining of SYP (red) in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to Aβ42 (0.5 μM) for 5 h in CMA (C). Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). Values are mean ± SEM with n = 3–5. Scale bar is 10 μm. *p < 0.05 vs. respective controls by one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-Keuls test for significance.
