Autophagy Upregulation and Apoptosis Downregulation in DAHP and Triptolide Treated Cerebral Ischemia

Figure 6

Immunofluorescent analysis of Bcl-2 expression represents antiapoptosis level changes. The expression levels of Bcl-2 were markedly different in each group. (a) In comparison with control, MCAO has only 30% of its Bcl-2 expression, DAHP has 75%, and TP has 60%. Values were presented with the means ± SEMs. ; ; ; n.s.: no significance. (b) The immunofluorescent results showed a dramatic decrease in Bcl-2 expression in the MCAO group in comparison with the vehicle and control groups, while the DAHP group and TP group attenuated this change. Bar = 100 μm.
