Figure Lengend Snippet: ALWPs significantly increase cell-surface levels of APP. (A) APP-H4 cells were treated with ALWPs (500 μg/ml) or PBS for 24 h, and cell-surface biotinylation assays were conducted with an anti-6E10 antibody. (B,C) Quantification of data from ( A ; surface APP and total APP; con, n = 8; ALWPs, n = 8). (D,E) Primary hippocampal neurons were transfected with GFP plasmid DNA for 24 h, followed by treatment with ALWPs (500 μg/ml) or PBS for 24 h and live cell-surface staining (con, n = 134 dendrites; ALWPs, n = 120 dendrites). (F) Primary hippocampal neurons were transfected with GFP plasmid DNA for 24 h, treated with ALWPs (500 μg/ml) or PBS for 24 h, and immunostained with an anti-ADAM17 antibody. (G) Quantification of data from ( F ; con, n = 67 dendrites; ALWPs, n = 71 dendrites). (H,J,L,N) Primary hippocampal neurons were treated with ALWPs (500 μg/ml) or PBS for 24 h and immunostained with anti-ADAM8, ADAM9, ADAM10, or ADAM12 antibodies. (I,K,M,O) Quantification of data from ( H,J,L,N ; con, n = 60 dendrites; ALWPs, n = 60 dendrites). * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.0001.
