Plant ceramide-dependent release of EVs promotes Aβ clearance. Mass spectrometry analysis of total amounts of GSL-glycans (a) and relative GSL-glycan compositions (b) in EVs collected from control or ceramide-treated SH-SY5Y cell cultures. (c) Immunolabelling for Aβ on EVs derived from ceramide-treated cell cultures. Representative electron microscopic images are shown. Scale bar, 100 nm. (d) Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence to quantify amyloid fibrils in EVs collected from SH-SY5Y cell cultures (1 × 107 cells) incubated with soluble Aβ and incubated for 24 h. ELISA measurements of total (e) and EVs-associated (f) Aβ levels in media from control and treated APP-expressing SH-SY5Y cells. (g) Aβ levels in medium from transwell cultured APP-expressing SH-SY5Y and BV-2 cells. Values are the means ± SEMs. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 by t tests.
