Isoflurane Postconditioning Upregulates Phosphorylated Connexin 43 in the Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Model and Is Probably Associated with the TGF-β1/Smad2/3 Signaling Pathway
Figure 8
Western blot analysis presented the expression of p-Cx43, Cx43, and TGF-β1 in the hippocampal tissues when the inhibitor of p-Cx43 (Ro318220) is administered. β-Actin was used as an internal control. rats per group. The expression pattern of the phosphorylated Cx43 was synchronized with that of TGF-β1 during the entire process, whereas the total Cx43 protein expression levels did not change in all groups. Dunnett’s -test was used for data analysis. The data are all expressed as the (). , .
