Figure Lengend Snippet: FACS Plots Showing Lin − Sca1 + c-Kit + (LSK) Cell Fractions after MACS Purification and 2 Days of Culture Bone marrow cells were stained with α-mouse lineage cocktail, Sca1, and c-Kit antibodies. (A) The negative fraction of the LS column should be almost completely depleted of Sca1 + cells. (B) The positive fraction eluted from the LS or MS separation column is enriched in LSK cells and progenitor cells, which all express Sca1. The LSK population should comprise 6 to 8% of the Sca1 + cell fraction. Lymphoid progenitor cells require IL-7 to survive and will be depleted upon culturing with 50 ng/mL mTPO, mSCF, mFLT-3, and hIL-11. (C) Purified LSK cell fraction after 2 days of culture in HSPC medium.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of RIpreC on the expression of Bcl-2 ( A , B , F , G ), Bax ( A , C , F , H ), caspase-3 ( A , D , F , J ), and TUNEL-positive neurons ( A , E ) in the ischemic brain. Bcl-2 immunoreactivity in the perilesional cortex and its protein level were significantly increased in the RIpreC group compared the IR group. By contrast, Bax immunoreactivity and its protein level were significantly reduced in the RIpreC group compared with the IR group. The Bax/Bcl-2 ratios were also significantly reduced in the RIpreC group compared with the IR group ( I ). Subsequently, the number of TUNEL-positive neurons (arrow) and the ratios of caspase-3 positive to NeuN-positive neuron in the perilesional cortex were significantly decreased in the RIpreC group compared with the IR group ( E , K , L ). Mean ± standard error. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. Scale bar = 50 μm ( A ) and 25 μm ( K ). ( n = 4–11 in each group)

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of PGC-1αInhibition by SR-18,292. Inhibition of PGC-1α blunted the neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects of RIpreC ( A – F ). No changes in brain infarctions, neurological scores, and sensorimotor functions were observed in the RIpreC-treated SR-18,292 group compared with the IR group. Immunohistochemical analysis of the rectangular areas in A showed that immunoreactivities of PGC-1α, FNDC5, BDNF, and caspase-3 surrounding the lesion in the RIpreC-treated SR-18,292 group were similar to those in the IR group ( G – K ). Scale bar = 50 μm ( G ). ( n = 5–11 in each group)
