Inhibition of Cathepsin S Produces Neuroprotective Effects after Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice

Figure 1

Time course of cathepsin S (CatS) protein expression in the ipsilateral cortex of mice after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Expression levels of CatS were normalized to those of β-actin. The level of CatS protein was significantly increased at 3 h and 6 h after TBI. (a) A typical Western blot result. (b) Quantification of data in (a). Data represent mean ± SEM (𝑛=6). **𝑃<0.01, ***𝑃<0.001 versus sham group.
