Figure Lengend Snippet: A small group of blood vessel-like RFP cells appeared in the 7D group (A-C), which was further confirmed by the immunofluorescent staining for PDGFRβ (D), CD13 (E), MYH11 (F), and AQP4 (G). RFP+ cells in the cortex of the 1M group (H). Blood vessel-like RFP cells in the cortex, striatum, and thalamus of the water group (I-K). Percentages of blood vessel-like RFP cells (L), PDGFRβ+ RFP cells (M), CD13+ RFP cells (N), MYH11+ RFP cells (O) in the different groups. Significance analysis using two-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Bars: 80μm for A, 20μm for B-K. The data are represented as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Ctx, cortex; Str, striatum; Tha, thalamus; Hth, hypothalamus; Hip, hippocampus.
Article Snippet: For immunofluorescence staining, the tissues were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies targeting specific proteins: CD13 (GTX75927, Genetex), Sox10 (AF2698, Beyotime), PDGFRβ (AF1042, R&D Systems; 14-1402-82, ThermoFisher), MYH11 (ab224804, Abcam), NG2 (ab5320, Millipore; ab129051, Abcam), aquaporin-4 (AQP4, 59678, CST), PDGFRα (558774, BD Biosciences), Ki67 (12202, CST; ab15580, Abcam), neuronal nuclei (NeuN, 266004, Synaptic Systems), microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2, 8707, CST), RFP (600-401-379, Rockland), Cre recombinase (MAB3120, Millipore), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA, A2052, Millipore), Reelin (ab312310, Abcam), the proto-oncogene c-Fos (2250, CST), doublecortin (DCX, 4604, CST), vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGLUT2, MAB5504, Millipore), adenomatous polyposis coli (APC, clone CC1, GTX16794, Genetex) and activating transcription factor 3 (ATF-3, HPA001562, Millipore).
