Figure Lengend Snippet: Microglial inflammatory gene expression induced by α-synuclein polymorphs. A Electron microscopy analysis of α-synuclein EO, KSO, DO, PFF, sPFF, and Fib. Scale bars 200 nm (Upper panel) and 20 nm (Lower panel). B Experimental scheme. iPSC-differentiated iMG were exposed to control, α-synuclein MO, EO, KSO, DO, PFF, sPFF, or Fib for 4 h. C–J iMG expressions of TNF ( C ), IL-1β ( D ), IL-6 ( E ), IL-10 ( F ), CCL2 ( G ), CCL3 ( H ), CCL4 ( I ), and CXCL1 ( J ) were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Error bars represent SEM. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test ( n = 4 per group). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001
Article Snippet: Recombinant human α-synuclein monomers (#SPR-316, MO), kinetically stable α-synuclein oligomers (#SPR-484, KSO), EGCG stabilized α-synuclein oligomers (#SPR-469, EO), dopamine stabilized α-synuclein oligomers (#SPR-466, DO), and α-synuclein preformed fibrils (#SPR-322, PFF) were purchased from StressMarq Biosciences (Victoria, Canada).
