Immunoblots was performed as described previously [16 (link)]. Briefly, for Western blot analysis, samples (30 μg protein) were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and were then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The primary antibodies used were as follows: mouse anti-GFAP antibody (GFAP, Millipore, MAB360, 2041104), mouse anti-APP antibody (Millipore, MAB348, 25030193), rabbit anti-CTF antibody (Millipore, AB5352, 22051154), rabbit anti-neprilysin (NEP) antibody (Millipore, AB5458, LV1423485), rabbit anti-IDE antibody (Millipore, AB9210, 2769024), mouse anti-β-actin antibody (Millipore, MAB, LV1460528) and goat anti-Iba-1 antibody (Abcam, ab5076, GR268568-3). The secondary antibodies were anti-rabbit IgG antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP; Jackson ImmunoResearch, 711-035-152) and anti-mouse IgG antibody conjugated with HRP (Jackson ImmunoResearch, 715-035-151). The immune complexes were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA). The images were obtained and quantified using a LAS-3000 Image Analyzer (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).
