Figure Lengend Snippet: Examination of the mechanism of influence of TF on Tau protein expression and phosphorylation in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells. SH-SY5Y (2 × 10 5 ) were treated with recombinant relipidated Innovin TF (0.65 ng/ml) together with or without human fVIIa (5 nM) or fVIIa alone. In some experiments, the TF aliquots were pre-incubated for 1 h, with 10H10 antibody (20 µg/ml) capable of blocking TF signalling, HTF-1 antibody (20 µg/ml) to block TF-fVIIa protease/procoagulant activity, or a mouse control isotype IgG antibody (20 µg/ml; not shown). In other experiments, fVIIa was pre-incubated for 1 h with the chemical inhibitor PCI27483 (10 µg/ml). Alternatively, the neuronal cells were treated with AIIB2 antibody (20 µg/ml) to block β1-integrin signalling, SAM11 antibody (20 µg/ml) capable of blocking PAR2 signalling, or PAR2-activating peptide (PAR2-AP; 20 µM) to induce PAR2 signalling. Cells were harvested at 24 h, and cellular lysates (10 µg protein) were examined for Tau and phospho-Thr181 Tau by western blot analysis. All values were normalised against the respective GAPDH and for comparison, all ratios were calculated against the average from the non-treated cells ± the calculated standard deviation. The number of experiments is shown in each column, and all data groups were determined to have normal distributions and are shown in each column.

Article Snippet: Alternatively, the neuronal cells were treated with a rat anti-human antibody (20 μg/ml; AIIB2; Merck KGaA) to block β1-integrin signalling, a mouse anti-human PAR2 antibody, SAM11 (20 μg/ml; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany), capable of blocking PAR2 signalling, or PAR2-activating peptide (PAR2-AP; 20 μM) to induce PAR2 signalling.
