doi: 10.3389/fphar.2025.1528604
Figure Lengend Snippet: ErbB4 receptor agonist mitigates D-gal-induced hippocampal neuronal aging both in vivo and in vitro through the activation of ErbB4 receptors and modulation of the Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway. (A) Western blot analysis of pErbB4, ErbB4, pAkt1, and Akt1 protein expression levels in the hippocampus of mice. (B, C) Quantification of pErbB4 and pAkt1 levels (n = 4). (D) Western blot analysis of pErbB4, ErbB4, pAkt1, and Akt1 protein expression levels in D-gal-induced HT22 cells. (E, F) Quantification of pErbB4 and pAkt1 levels (n = 4). (G, H) Immunofluorescence analysis of the Nrf2-positive cells in the DG region (G) and in the cortex region (H) . Scale bar = 50 μm. (I) Western blot analysis of Nrf2, SLC7A11, GPX4, Lamin B1 and P21 protein levels after treatment of Nrf2 inhibitor AEM1. (J–N) Quantitative analysis of Nrf2, SLC7A11, GPX4, Lamin B1 and P21 levels (n = 4–7). Data are presented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance is indicated as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
