Tetrahydroxystilbene Glucoside Produces Neuroprotection against 6-OHDA-Induced Dopamine Neurotoxicity

Figure 4

TSG ameliorated 6-OHDA-induced microglial activation in vitro. Activated microglia were detected by immunocytochemical staining with an anti-OX-42 antibody. Representative images of immunostaining from three experiments were indicated (a). Scale bar = 100 μm. Iba1 protein expression was determined by western blotting assay. The ratio of densitometry values of Iba1 with β-actin was assessed and normalized to each respective control group (b). Results were expressed as a percentage of the control group and were the mean ± SEM from three independent experiments performed in triplicate. compared with the control groups; compared with 6-OHDA-treated group.
