Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Ameliorate Delayed Neurocognitive Recovery in Aged Mice by Inhibiting Hippocampus Ferroptosis via Activating SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathway

Figure 2

Surgery induced cognitive impairment in aged mice. The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: Sham group, dNCR group, and dNCR+Fer-1 group. (a) Escape latency during the MWM navigation test. (b) The representative trajectory diagrams of the swimming distance to find the platform (blue dots: starting position; yellow dots: ending position). (c) The platform-crossing times in the MWM test. (d) The time spent in the target quadrant during the MWM test. Data are expressed as (/group). and , Sham vs. dNCR; @@, dNCR vs. dNCR+Fer-1. Fer-1: ferrostatin-1, a ferroptosis inhibitor.
