A20-Binding Inhibitor of NF-κB 1 Ameliorates Neuroinflammation and Mediates Antineuroinflammatory Effect of Electroacupuncture in Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Rats

Figure 6

ABIN1 knockdown impairs the antineuroinflammatory effect of EA. (a) The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MCP-1 in the peri-infarct cortex were detected using ELISAs at 24 h after reperfusion (n = 5 rats per group). (b) Microglial morphology was observed by conducting immunofluorescence staining for Iba-1 (green) in the peri-infarct cortex at 24 h after reperfusion (n = 3 rats per group). Scale bar = 50 μm. (c and d) Quantification of microglial endpoints/cell and process length/cell ( compared to the MCAO/R group; and compared to the MCAO/R + EA group).
