Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. Comparison of glutamate and cysteine transporter levels between wild-type (þ/þ) and system xc - null (sut/sut) female mice in striatum, hippo campus, and cortex. Plasma membrane striatal, hippocampal, and cortical protein extracted in pairs from +/+ and sut/sut female mice [5 striata or 5 hippocampi (5 mice per 2 samples), or 2 cortices (1 mouse per sample)] were separated under reducing conditions via 8% SDS-PAGE. Representative blots and protein quantification for EAAT1, 2, 3, ASCT1, SNAT3 and LAT2 protein in striatum (A), hippocampus (B) and cortex (C). Protein quantification was performed by normalizing to each samples’ representative total protein to correct for differences in loading followed by baseline correction to the paired +/+ levels. Values are graphed as Tukey’s box and whisker plots with the box representing the 2nd and 3rd quartiles, and whiskers representing points within 1.5 times the interquartile distance. An asterisk (*) represents a significant between-group difference calculated using a ratio-paired t-test on transformed data. Between-group differences for each brain areas are as follows: (A) Striatum: EAAT1 (p = 0.044; n = 6), EAAT2 (p = 0.477; n = 11), EAAT3 (p = 0.234; n = 10), ASCT1 (p = 0.343; n = 14), SNAT3 (p = 0.279; n = 6) and LAT2 (p = 0.376; n = 6). (B) Hippocampus: EAAT1 (p = 0.085; n = 11), EAAT2 (p = 0.169; n = 11), EAAT3 (p = 0.086; n = 7), ASCT1 (p = 0.144; n = 14), SNAT3 (p = 0.213; n = 7) and LAT2 (p = 0.436; n = 7). (C) Cortex: EAAT1 (p = 0.092; n = 14), EAAT2 (p = 0.2391; n = 14), EAAT3 (p = 0.426; n = 14), ASCT1 (p = 0.0267; n = 13), SNAT3 (p = 0.0001; n = 6), and LAT2 (p = 0.260; n = 6).
