Rh-CSF1 Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Neuronal Apoptosis via the CSF1R/PLCG2/PKA/UCP2 Signaling Pathway in a Rat Model of Neonatal HIE

Figure 4

Immunofluorescence staining of CSF1R or CSF1 with GFAP in the brain at 48 h after HI. (a) Representative microphotographs of CSF1R and CSF1 with GFAP staining in the ipsilateral cortex of the sham, HI+vehicle, and HI+rh-CSF1 groups. (b) Quantitative analysis ( test) of CSF1R-positive GFAP cells in the ipsilateral cortex at 48 h after HI. (c) Quantitative analysis of CSF1-positive GFAP cells in the ipsilateral cortex at 48 h after HI. Green indicated CSF1R- or CSF1-positive staining, red indicated GFAP-positive astrocytes staining, and blue indicated DAPI-positive nuclear staining. Merge showed the colocalization of CSF1R or CSF1 with astrocytes. vs sham; # vs vehicle; ; . The upper right panel of brain slice indicates the location for staining analysis (small blue box).
