Figure 1. Adult mouse astrocytes cease migration upon interaction with Abeta1−42 and adhere to Abeta1−42-coated surfaces.
a, Migration of astrocytes, in response to LPS or MCP-1, across porous membranes coated with CIV alone or with CIV and Abeta1−42. Number of cells that migrated across CIV-coated membranes under unstimulated conditions (214 plusminus 74 cells/mm2; n = 4) was designated as 100%. #, P = 0.05 compared with no chemoattractant; †, P = 0.01 compared with LPS and Abeta1−42; *, P = 0.05 compared with MCP-1 and Abeta1−42. b, Adhesion of astrocytes, suspended in buffer with () or without (shaded square) Ca2+ and Mg2+, to multi-spot glass slides that were uncoated, coated with CIV or coated with CIV and Abeta1−42 (2 mug/spot). c, Adhesion of astrocytes, suspended in buffer lacking Ca2+ and Mg2+, to multi-spot glass slides coated with CIV and increasing amounts of Abeta1−42. d, Binding of Cy3-labeled Abeta1−42 (Cy3-Abeta1−42) to astrocytes with or without addition of 100 or 500 mug/ml fucoidan, polyinosinic acid (polyI), or antibody against SRBI (SRBI). Values are mean plusminus s.e.m.; n = 3−5 experiments. *, P = 0.05 compared with basal; **, P = 0.01 compared with basal.
