doi: 10.1002/brb3.70328
Figure Lengend Snippet: JKZP‐containing serum may enhance the synaptic plasticity of hippocampal neurons by interfering with S100A10/tPA and modulating the proBDNF/mBDNF balance. (A) Neuronal growth process (×200); (B) MAP2 immunofluorescence to identify the purity of neurons (the purity was >95%, ×200, n = 5); (C) CCK8 screening of neurons for OGD modeling time ( n = 6); (D) CCK8 detection of the toxic effects of JKZP‐containing serum lyophilized powder on neurons ( n = 5); (E) CCK8 detection of the effects of JKZP‐containing serum lyophilized powder on neuronal activity ( n = 5). (F) RT‐qPCR assay for PSD95, GAP43, and SYN mRNA expressions ( n = 3); (G) representative images of IF staining for SYN, GAP43, and PSD95 and corresponding quantitative analyses ( n = 4, ×200); (H) WB assay for PSD95, GAP43, and SYN protein expressions ( n = 3); (I) WB assay for S100A10/tPA/BDNF pathway related protein levels ( n = 3). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
