Stroke Status Evoked Adhesion Molecule Genetic Alterations in Astrocytes Isolated from Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats and the Apigenin Inhibition of Their Expression

<table>A comparison between the gene expression levels of ICAM-1, MCP-1, and VCAM-1 in astrocytes isolated from WKY/IZM and SHRSP/IZM. The astrocytes isolated from WKY/IZM and SHRSP/IZM were washed with FBS-free DMEM, before TNF-<math id="M35" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mrow><mi>α</mi></mrow></math> was added (a) or not added (b) at 4 hours. Total cellular RNA was isolated from cultured astrocytes. The RNA was transcribed with reverse transcriptase and amplified by RT-PCR. An 18s ribosomal RNA amplicon was used as an internal control for quantitation of the total amount of cDNA. The bars represent the mean ± SD (<i>n</i> = 4). Asterisk (*): <math id="M36" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>P</mi><mo>&lt;</mo><mi>  </mi><mo>.</mo><mn>05</mn></math> compared with the WKY/IZM value. WKY: WKY/IZM; SHRSP: SHRSP/IZM.</table>
