Figure Lengend Snippet: Oba attenuated neuroinflammation and reduced cellular apoptosis following SCI. All experiments were performed using tissues from the Sham, SCI, and SCI + Oba (20 mg/kg) groups at 3 days post-SCI. ( A ) Representative Western blot image of iNOS, IL-1β and TNFα at 3 days post-SCI. ( B ) Quantitative analysis of iNOS, IL-1β and TNFα protein levels (n = 5). ( C ) Representative immunofluorescence images of iNOS (green) and DAPI (blue) in spinal cord tissue at 3 days post-SCI; Scale bar = 50 μm. ( D ) Quantitative analysis of iNOS fluorescence areas (n = 5). ( E ) Representative Western blot image of Bax and Cleaved-caspase3 at 3 days post-SCI. ( F ) Quantitative analysis of Bax and Cleaved-caspase3 protein levels (n = 5). ( G ) Representative immunofluorescence images of TUNEL (red) and DAPI (blue) in spinal cord tissue at 3 days post-SCI; Scale bar = 50 μm. ( H ) Quantitative analysis of TUNEL positive cells (n = 5). The values are presented as mean ± SD. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001; NS, not significant.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Oba suppresses microglial inflammation and blocks the subsequent apoptosis of HT22 neurons. ( A ) Viability of BV-2 cells treated with different concentrations of Oba, as assessed by CCK-8 assay (n = 5). ( B ) Representative Calcein AM (green)/PI (red) staining images of BV-2 cells following treatment with Oba at the indicated concentrations (0, 25, and 50 μM). Scale bar = 100 μm. ( C ) Quantitative analysis of the ratio of viable cells (n = 5). ( D ) Representative Western blot images of iNOS, TNFα, and IL-1β expression in BV-2 cells. ( E ) Quantitative analysis of iNOS, TNFα and IL-1β protein levels (n = 5). ( F ) Representative immunofluorescence images of iNOS (green) and DAPI (blue) in BV-2 cells treated as follows: vehicle (Control), LPS, LPS+Oba 25 μM, and LPS+Oba 50 μM. Scale bar = 50 μm. ( G ) Quantitative analysis of fluorescence intensity of iNOS (n = 5). ( H ) mRNA expression levels of TNFα and IL-1β in BV-2 cells measured by qPCR (n = 6). ( I ) Representative Western blot image of Bax and Cleaved-caspase3 protein level in HT22 cells. ( J ) Quantitative analysis of Bax and Cleaved-caspase3 protein levels (n = 5). ( K ) Representative flow cytometry plots of HT22 cells stained with Annexin V-FITC (x-axis) and PI (y-axis). ( L ) The percentage of apoptotic HT22 cells, as determined by flow cytometry. (n = 5). The plus and minus signs (+, -) denote the presence or absence of the following reagents in culture: LPS, 25 μM Oba, and 50 μM Oba. The values are presented as mean ± SD. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001; NS, not significant.
