Article Title: P2X7 Receptor Augments LPS-Induced Nitrosative Stress by Regulating Nrf2 and GSH Levels in the Mouse Hippocampus

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of P2X7R deletion on GSH concentration and expressions of GCLC, GSHS, GS, GLS, ASCT2 and xCT following LPS injection. Under physiological condition, P2X7R deletion reduces GSH level in the hippocampus. However, P2X7R deletion increases GS and ASCT2 levels. LPS declines GSH concentration in P2X7R +/+ mice more than in P2X7R −/− mice. LPS decreases GSHS, GS and ASCT2 levels, but increases GLS and xCT levels only in the P2X7R +/+ mice. ( A ) Total GSH level in the hippocampus under physiological and post-LPS treated conditions. ( B ) Representative Western blot of GCLC, GSHS, GS, GLS, ASCT2 and xCT in the whole hippocampi of that P2X7R +/+ and P2X7R −/− mice. ( C – G ) Quantification of GSHS, GS, GLS, ASCT2 and xCT levels based on Western blot data. Open circles indicate each individual value. Horizontal and error bars indicate the mean value and S.E.M., respectively (*, # p < 0.05 vs. control and WT mice, n = 7, respectively). Full-length gel images of Western blot data in ( B ) could be found in .
