[Retracted] Fractalkine Attenuates Microglial Cell Activation Induced by Prenatal Stress

Figure 6

Effect of fractalkine and anti-fractalkine receptor antibody on the prenatal stress-induced changes in CX3CR1 expression in the microglia cell cultures. The microglia obtained from the control and prenatally stressed rats were pretreated with anti-fractalkine receptor antibody for 1 h and then treated with fractalkine for 24 h. The levels of the CX3CR1 mRNA and protein were measured using qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses, respectively. The qRT-PCR data are shown as the average fold changes ± SEM. The Western blot data are shown as a % of the control ± SEM (the results are normalized to β-actin); ; versus the control; versus the stress group.
