From: BACE1 activity regulates cell surface contactin-2 levels
BACE1 inhibition reduces contactin-2 shedding. A) Western blot showing a sharp decrease in contactin-2 levels in CHO(CNTN2) cells treated with BACE1 Inhibitor IV. B) Quantitative analysis of the secreted contactin-2 levels in A) (Student t test; *, p < 0.05; n = 3 for each condition). C) Confocal microscopy images of cell surface contactin-2 levels in CHO cells expressing CNTN2. BACE1 Inhibitor IV induced a strong increase in contactin-2 surface levels (green). Nuclear staining with DAPI is shown in blue. Images are taken at identical settings.
