Supplementary Figures 1–6

Supplementary Video 1

ATP repels LPS-treated microglia. Time-lapse three-dimensional reconstruction of a cultured LPS-activated mouse microglia migrating away from an ATP-filled micropipette positioned just beyond right edge of screen (pipette not shown).

Supplementary Video 2

ATP induces process extension in untreated microglia. Time-lapse three-dimensional reconstruction of a mouse microglia exhibiting process extension toward the periphery of field during bath application of ATP.

Supplementary Video 3

ATP induces process retraction in LPS-treated microglia. Time-lapse three-dimensional reconstruction of an LPS-activated mouse microglia exhibiting process retraction during bath application of ATP.

Supplementary Video 4

ATP inhibits microglial process motion. Three-dimensional tracking (red traces) of cell processes of an LPS-activated mouse microglia. Bath application of ATP inhibited process motility.

Supplementary Video 5

ATP attracts untreated human microglia. Cultured human microglia migrated toward and engulfed an ATP-filled micropipette at right.

Supplementary Video 6

ATP repels LPS-treated human microglia. Cultured LPS-activated human microglia migrated away from an ATP-filled micropipette at right (pipette chases cell across field).

Supplementary Video 7

Acute injury attracts untreated microglia in vitro. Untreated GFP-positive mouse microglia extended their processes toward acutely injured astrocytes. Mechanical injury (right edge) was induced with a micropipette at approximately 9 min (n = 3).

Supplementary Video 8

Acute injury repels LPS-treated microglia in vitro. LPS-activated GFP-positive mouse microglia retracted its processes following astrocyte injury. Mechanical injury (right edge) was induced with a micropipette at approximately 8 min (n = 6).
