Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of GAL3BP as a factor suppressing Aβ production. a , filtration. Conditioned media from HEK293 cells ( Cont .) and HEK293 cells expressing GPLD1 (+ GPLD1 ) were subjected to Amicon Ultra 30-kDa centrifugal filter units. H4-APPsw cells were incubated with the concentrated and flow-through fractions to test their suppressive activity on the production of Aβ40 and Aβ42. b , lectin affinity beads. The concentrated fractions of a were subjected to lectin affinity beads (WGA-, WFL-, ConA-, ECA-, and VVA-beads), and the unbound fractions were tested for their inhibitory activity on the production of Aβ40 and Aβ42. c , WFL-affinity beads. Materials bound to WFL-beads were eluted with GalNAc, and the eluted fractions were tested for their suppressive activity on the production of Aβ40 and Aβ42. d , ion-exchange columns. The eluted fractions from WFL-beads were subjected to ion-exchange columns. The bound materials were eluted with NaCl (50, 100, 150, 200, 500, and 1000 m m ), and the elution fractions were tested for their suppressive activity on the production of Aβ40. e , silver staining of the purified fractions. Eluted fractions from the ion-exchange column with 0.5 m NaCl were subjected to SDS-PAGE and silver-stained. A band around 90 kDa in the purified fractions ( arrowhead ) was subjected to MS analysis to identify the protein. f , expression of GAL3BP in HEK293 cells. The cDNA encoding GPLD1 was transfected into HEK293 cells. The amounts of GAL3BP proteins in the cell culture media and in the cell lysates and that of GPLD1 in the cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting. β-Actin was used as a loading control. a–d , the values in the graphs are presented relative to the corresponding controls ( n = 3, mean ± S.D. ( error bars )). *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001 versus control by one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test.
