Aβo1-42 exposure impacts cell viability and NLGN1 in primary neuronal culture. (A) Neuronal viability of hippocampal neurons exposed to 2 µM of Aβo1-42 or vehicle (VH) for 48 and 72 hours. A significant Treatment-by-Time interaction was found (two-way ANOVA F1,39 = 12.6, p = 0.001), with difference between Aβo1-42 and VH restricted to 72 hours of treatment (stars indicating planned comparison, also in B). (B) NLGN1 protein level in primary culture of hippocampal neurons was assessed by Western blot (top) and expressed relative to the control protein GAPDH (bottom) after exposure to 2 µM of Aβo1-42 or VH for 48 and 72 hours. A significant Treatment-by-Time interaction was also found (two-way ANOVA F1,22 = 5.43, p = 0.03), with difference between Aβo1-42 and VH also restricted to 72 hours of treatment. Full length blots are shown in Supplementary Fig. 4. The number of replicate is indicated on each bar.
