Extended Data Fig. 7: Astrocytes recDEGs knock-down alters astrocytes states in vitro.

Primary cortical mixed glia cultures were transduced with LV-shRNA for five days in standard growth media (a-d) or treated in the last 24 h with a reactive astrocyte activating cocktail of cytokines (e-h) or amyloid-β 42 peptide (i-l). Confirmation of the gene knock-down by QPCR (a, e, i), and gene expression of reactive astrocyte markers and markers of our subcluster 0 and 1 in response to Nme7 (b, f, j), St7 (c, g, k), and Thra (d, h, l) knock-down. n = 3 for shCtrl in e-l, n = 4 for all other groups. Two-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD. *p < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, n.s., not significant.
