Additionally, since the results from OspA and OspC treatment showed an apparent trend in APP accumulation compared to the strong cellular response induced by HSV-1 infection, we investigated whether OspA and OspC treatments stimulated the secretion of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides, which were shown to exhibit antimicrobial activity in in vivo and in vitro models. , We also evaluated the ratio of Aβ42/40 in the secreted neuronal cultures, as it serves as an indicator of ongoing AD-like pathology in in vitro neuronal models, as previously shown by us and others and reviewed in ref .

On the other hand, treatment with OspA resulted in a moderate increase in APP signal, accompanied by a trend toward APP clustering, although this trend did not reach statistical significance ( Figure b–d).
