doi: 10.1038/s41598-021-96144-7
Figure Lengend Snippet: TREM2 agonism induces PLC activity in iPSC- derived macrophages. ( A ) Representative Western blot showing phosphorylation of SYK after TREM2 stimulation for 5 min using a TREM2-specific antibody (AF1828, R&D Systems) in Parent and TREM2 Ko cells. Full immunoblot images are presented in Supplementary Fig. 6. ( B ) Ca 2+ flux induced by TREM2 ligation in Parent cells is absent in TREM2 Ko cells. n = 4. ( C) SYK inhibitor BIIB-057 (SYKi) reduces TREM2 antibody-evoked Ca 2+ signal in a dose-dependent manner in Parent cells. n = 3. ( D) TREM2-induced IP1 accumulation determined by HTRF assay is prevented in TREM2 Ko cells. n = 3, data shown represent mean ± SEM, ( B , D ) two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test, ( C ) one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: A 384-well source plate containing 5 × concentrated stimuli ATP (final concentration 0.5 mM, Sigma) or TREM2 antibody AF1828 (final concentration 1, 2, 5 or 10 μg/mL, R&D Systems) was prepared for transfer onto the macrophages.
