LRP1 mediates clearance of aggregated Cy3-Aβ42 by mouse pericytes. a-b Multiphoton/confocal laser scanning microscopy of multi-spot glass slides coated with Cy3-Aβ42 without cells (a), and with primary mouse brain pericytes cultured for 5 days in the presence of NI-IgG or anti-LRP1, after si.Lrp1 silencing compared to scrambled si.Control, and with RAP or vehicle (b). Scale bar, 50 μm. c Quantification of Cy3-Aβ42 relative signal intensity on multi-spot slides after 5 days without cells (open bar on the left) and with pericytes in the presence of vehicle (control), NI-IgG and anti-LRP1, after silencing with scrambled si.Control or si.Lrp1, and in the presence of RAP. N = 4 independent cultures (biological replicates, see Methods); mean ± s.e.m.; p < 0.05 by One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test. d Quantification of TUNEL+ pericyte cell death at 3 and 7 days after seeding on multi-spot glass slides coated with Cy3-Aβ42 in the presence and absence of NI-IgG and anti-LRP1, and after si.Lrp1 silencing or si.Ctrl as in (b). N = 3 independent cultures per group; mean ± s.e.m.; p < 0.05 by One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test
