neurons (P10152) and human brain microvascular endothelial cells
(P10361) were obtained from Innoprot (Bizkaia, Spain) and maintained
in complete pericyte medium (P60121), complete astrocyte medium
(P60101), complete neuronal medium (P60157) and endothelial cell
medium (P60104), all from Innoprot (Bizkaia, Spain). Human brain
pericytes and human brain microvascular endothelial cells were seeded
in plates covered with 0.1% Gelatin Type B from Bovine Skin (G9382,
Sigma-Aldrich, San Luis, MO, USA). Human astrocytes and human cortical
neurons were seeded in Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide covered plates
(P6282, Sigma-Aldrich, San Luis, MO, USA). Cells were maintained at
37°C in an atmosphere with 5% CO2 and 95% air. For hypoxic
conditions cells were maintained in 1% O2 for 16 hours.
DMOG (dimethyloxaloylglycine) (BML-EI347, Enzo Life Sciences, Inc.
Farmingdale, NY, USA), a pan prolyl-4-hydroxylase inhibitor, was used
at 0.1 mM for 16 hours.
