Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) SY5Y-APP695 cells were treated for 24 h with autophagy activator Torin1 (1µM), autophagy flux inhibitors Bafilomycin A1 (BafA1, 100nM) or Chloroquine (CQ, 30 µM). Protein cell lysates were resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred, and nitrocellulose membranes were blotted with APP-Cter-C17 rabbit polyclonal serum for the detection of mature (Mat.) and immature (im.) APP as well as APP carboxy-terminal fragments (APP-βCTF and APP-αCTF). β-actin staining was used as a protein loading control. Apparent molecular weight in kilodaltons (kDa) using molecular weight markers is indicated to the left of the Western blot images. Mature and immature proteoforms of APP were quantified (B) as well as α- and β-CTF (C) and Aβ 1-40 and Aβ 1-42 peptides (D). (E) SY5Y-APP695 cells were treated for 24 h with NMS-873 alone or NMS-873 together with the autophagy activator Torin1 (1µM), autophagy flux inhibitors Bafilomycin A1 (BafA1, 100nM) or Chloroquine (CQ, 30 µM). Following SDS-PAGE, mature and immature proteoforms of APP and APP-CTFs were detected with APP-Cter-C17 polysera and β-actin, used as a protein loading control. Immature and mature APP proteoforms were quantified (F) as well as APP-CTFs (G) and A β1-40 and 1-42 peptides (H). Data are represented as histograms of the mean ± SD (minimum of n = 3 independent experiments produced in triplicate for each experimental condition), ns = non-significant, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: Cell homogenates were separated on 4-12% Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen) or 16% Tris-Tricine gels (Bio-Rad) for APP-CTFs analysis.
