Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of iTBS on cytosolic pools of adenosine-generating and adenosine-eliminating enzymes and AMP kinase in crude synaptosomal fraction of the caudoputamen of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. (A) Representative support membranes showing density of 55-kDa (eN/CD73) and 37-kDa (GAPDH) bands and histograms of immunoblot analysis showing eN/CD73 protein abundance in cytosolic fraction of the CPu of sham-stimulated and iTBS-stimulated animals at 1 and 3 weeks after stimulation. (B) Representative support membranes showing density of 42-kDa (ADA2) and 37-kDa (GAPDH) bands and histograms of immunoblot analysis showing ADA1 protein abundance in cytosolic fraction of the CPu of sham-stimulated and iTBS-stimulated animals 1 and 3 weeks after stimulation. (C) Representative support membranes showing density of 60-kDa (phospho-AMPK) and 60-kDa (total-AMPK) bands and histograms of immunoblot analysis showing ratio of p-AMPK and t-AMPK protein abundance in cytosolic fraction fractions of the CPu of sham-stimulated and iTBS-stimulated animals at 1 and 3 weeks after stimulation. All data are represented as mean ± SD. Dots in the graphs represent individual values. The number at the bottom of the graphs represents the number of individual animals included in analysis. All data are expressed as the percentage (%) of contralateral (left) CPu (dotted line at 100%). (D) The AMP phosphohydrolase/cN-II activity was assayed in the cytosolic fraction of the CPu from both sham-stimulated and iTBS-stimulated animals, at both 1 and 3 weeks after the stimulation. The bars depicted represent the mean activity (expressed as nmol Pi/mg/min) ± SEM, based on five determinations performed in duplicate. (E) The AMP phosphohydrolase activity was measured in both the absence and presence of the specific eN/CD73 inhibitor MRS 4592. The bars represent the mean activity (expressed as nmol Pi/mg/min) ± SEM, calculated from five determinations performed in duplicate. The numbers at the bottom of the graphs indicate the total number of individual animals included in the analysis. Significance shown inside graphs: * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001 (unpaired Student’s t -test). All experiments are repeated at least twice. 6-OHDA: 6-Hydroxydopamine; CPu: caudoputamen; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; iTBS: intermittent theta burst stimulation; ns: not significant.
