Enhanced H3K4 Trimethylation in TNF-α Promoter Gene Locus with Cell Apoptosis in the Ventral-Medial Striatum following Opioid Withdrawal of Neonatal Rat Offspring from Morphine-Addicted Mothers

Figure 7

Prenatal opioid exposure induced cell apoptosis in the ventral-medial striatum of neonatal rat offspring (P14). The summarized data of TUNEL-sensitive cells (a), NeuN-sensitive cells (b), and colocalizations of TUNEL/NeuN-sensitive cells (c), for counted ventral-medial striatum are as follows: the control group, the early group, and the late group, respectively. Average results for each group were taken from six slices per animal ( rats in each group). Scatted dots represent the data points in each group. , compared to the control group. #, compared to the early group.
