Figure Lengend Snippet: Blocking IL-27 attenuates both metabolic changes and the therapeutic effect of OHP2 on AD. A Schematic illustrating the design for evaluating the efficacy of Anti-IL-27 p28 in Aβ induced mice. B - C Representative images of trajectory heatmap ( B ) and recognition index ( C ) in NOR test (n=8 mice per group). D Alternation behavior in the Y-maze test in Control, Aβ 1-42 , Aβ 1-42 +OHP2, Aβ 1-42 +OHP2+anti-IL-27 p28 groups mice (n=8 mice per group). E - G The levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-ɑ of mice (n=3 mice per group) were quantified using ELISA. H - I The mRNA levels of the M1 and M2 specific markers in the Control, Aβ 1-42 , Aβ 1-42 +OHP2, Aβ 1-42 +OHP2+anti-IL-27 p28 groups of microglia in astrocyte-microglia co-culture system (n=3). J - L Representative images ( J ) and quantification ( K & L ) of the level of TNF-ɑ and IL-1β as detected by WB in the Control, Aβ 1-42 , Aβ 1-42 +OHP2, Aβ 1-42 +OHP2+anti-IL-27 p28 groups (n=3). M Representative images of the phagocytic and degradation capabilities of microglia towards Aβ, as determined by Western blotting, in the Control, Aβ 1-42 , Aβ 1-42 +OHP2, Aβ 1-42 +OHP2+anti-IL-27 p28 groups. N The mRNA levels of the key metabolic enzymes Hk2, Ldha, Pkm, Pfk in in the Control, Aβ 1-42 , Aβ 1-42 +OHP2, Aβ 1-42 +OHP2+anti-IL-27 p28 groups (n=3). O - Q The glycolytic stress of primary microglia in astrocyte-microglia co-culture system following Aβ 1-42 / OHP2/ anti-IL-27 p28 treatment for 24h was evaluated using the Seahorse XFe96 system, with measurement of the extracellular acidification rate curve ( O ), as well as quantification of glycolysis ( P ) and glycolytic capacity ( Q ) (n=3 per group). The "Control", "Aβ", and "Aβ+OHP2" groups were all treated with an equivalent amount of nonspecific IgG as the vehicle control for the antibody. Data are mean ± SEM, * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, and *** p<0.001 vs Model group, # p<0.05, ## p<0.01 and ### p<0.001 vs OHP2 group. One-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test ( C - I , K , L , N , P & Q )
