Article Title: LFA-1: A potential key player in microglia-mediated neuroprotection against oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0314020
Figure Lengend Snippet: A: Within one hour after oxygen-glucose-deprivation, BIRT377 was applied with consecutive cell death measurement after twenty-four hours via propium iodid incorporation (PI). B: After twenty-four hours, quantification of neuronal death in hippocampal CA1–3 region was determined by PI incorporation after application of 5, 10 or 20 μM BIRT377 after OGD and basal treatment (* p < 0,05, ***p < 0.001 vs OGD).n = 26 Error bars indicate SEM. C: Compared to basal conditions, BIRT377 application dose-dependently increases neuronal cell death with accentuation in CA1-regions (representative PI fluorescent images). Dotted lines and annotations (DG = dentate gyrus, CA = cornu ammonis) illustrate anatomical structure of the hippocampus. CA-region in OGD treated slices is not encircled for increased recognition of the PI positive cells in the CA-1 region. Scale bars: C 1 mm.
Article Snippet: LFA-1 function was inhibited by application of the compound BIRT377 (Tocris), BIRT377 were applied in different concentration to native OHCs and in another set of experiments after addition of exogenous microglia on OHCs at different time points.
