Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell-type specific TRPC1, TRPC4, and TRPC5 channel upregulation in the hippocampus and cortex after CCI-TBI. (A,B) Representative Western immunoblots using (A) TRPC4 (∼120 kDa) and (B) TRPC5 (∼110 kDa) antibodies in sham and TBI cortex and hippocampus. Blots were normalized to β-actin protein (42 kDa) as loading control. (C,D) Summarized data for Western blot quantification of TRPC4 ( C , n = 7–13 animals per group) and TRPC5 ( D , n = 5–7 animals per group) from microdissected brain regions in mice 7 days after TBI. (E,F) Shown are summarized plots of percent difference in TRPC4 (E) and TRPC5 (F) protein between ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheres of microdissected regions from data in Panels (C,D) . All data bars represent the mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05 vs. sham of same subregion. † p < 0.05 vs. contralateral hemisphere of same subregion.
Article Snippet: Parietal cortex or dorsal hippocampus brain sections (−1.3 to −2.3 mm posterior to bregma) were probed with a TRPC4 mouse monoclonal antibody (1:1,000, Rockland #200-301-G54, RRID:AB_2611251 ) at 1:500 dilution and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) donkey antimouse IgG (1:250, Jackson ImmunoResearch #715-095-150, RRID:AB_2340792 ).
