Altered microglia functions after treatment with conditioned media from endothelial cells or astrocytes. a Migration. b Phagocytosis. Endo-CM treatment inhibited microglial migration and phagocytosis, whereas astro-CM treatment enhanced microglial phagocytosis. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared to the control; ##p < 0.01 compared to astro-CM-treated microglia (one-way ANOVA). n = 5 to 7 independent experiments
