    Figure Lengend Snippet: Transcriptomic analysis of microglia exposed to α-synuclein polymorphs. iPSC-differentiated iMicroglia were exposed to control, α-synuclein MO, EO, KSO, DO, PFF, sPFF, or Fib for 4 h ( n = 4 per group). Total RNA extracted from iMG was analyzed by RNA sequencing. A Heatmap of the differentially expressed genes in the group of comparisons. Red and blue represent down- and up-regulation (Cut-off criteria: FDR < 0.05 and the absolute value of log 2 FC ≥ 0.58). B–K GO:BP enrichment analysis (Fisher’s exact test p -value with FDR correction < 0.05). Enriched GO:BP pathways in iMG expose to α-synuclein aggregates, response to cytokine ( B ), cytokine-mediated signaling pathway ( C ), response to chemokine ( D ), inflammatory response ( E ), regulation of response to stimulus ( F ), cellular response to chemical stimulus ( g ), cell surface receptor signaling pathway ( H ), defense response ( I ), response to tumor necrosis factor ( J ), and leukocyte chemotaxis ( K ). The y -axis displays treatments, and the x -axis shows the -log 10 p -value. L Radar plot for p-values of enriched KEGG immune pathway of common up-regulated genes among the group of comparisons

    TLR agonist ability of α-synuclein oligomers. A Schematic illustration of experiment. HEK-Blue hTLR reporter cells were treated with low (100 nM) and high (1 μM) concentrations of α-synuclein oligomers and α-synuclein MO. B – H After 24 h of incubation, the activities of TLR2 ( B ), TLR3 ( C ), TLR4 ( D ), TLR5 ( E ), TLR7 ( F ), TLR8 ( G ), and TLR9 ( H ) were determined by TLR activity reporter assay ( n = 6 per group). Vehicle and TLR agonist were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. Error bars represent SEM. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001

    Inhibition of TLR2 reduces α-synuclein polymorphs-induced inflammatory gene expression in iMicroglia. A Experimental scheme. iMG were pretreated with either control IgG (1 μg/mL) or anti-TLR2 antibody (T2.5, 1 μg/ML) for 30 min, followed by treatment with control, α-synuclein KSO, or Fib for 4 h. B–E Expression levels of TNF ( B ), IL-6 ( C ), CCL2 ( D ), and CCL4 ( E ) in iMG were assessed by quantitative PCR. Error bars represent SEM.
