Figures & data
si-FoxO1, si-AQP5 and si-NC were transfected into LPS-induced microglia and astrocytes and cultured for 24 hours. A: WB evaluated the profiles of FoxO1, AQP5 and the ERK/p38 MAPK pathway in microglia and astrocytes. B-C: The contents of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in microglia and astrocytes were monitored by ELISA. D-E: WB checked the protein expression of iNOS, COX2, and pNF-κB in microglia and astrocytes. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (vs. LPS+si-NC group).
Resveratrol (10 μL), a Sirt1 agonist, was delivered intrathecally via microinjector into the brains of CCI rats on the first day after CCI surgery. (a) The protein profiles of FoxO1, AQP5, p-ERK and p-p38 in spinal cord tissues of CCI rats were measured with WB on the third day after CCI surgery. (b) and (c) PWT and PWL of CCI rats at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after CCI surgery. (d)-(h) IHC or immunofluorescence were performed to determine apoptosis of IBA1, GFAP in the spinal cord. Caspase3-positive cells and neurons in CCI rats on the third day after CCI. Scale bar = 50 μm. (i) The levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in spinal cord tissues of CCI rats were analyzed by ELISA on the third day after surgery. (j) The profiles of iNOS, COX2, and p-NF-κB in spinal cord tissues of CCI rats were determined by WB. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 (vs. Sham group), &&&&P < 0.001 (vs. CCI group).
