Figure Legend Snippet: Reduction of AST PGC‐1α–CX43 axis in SPS mice was responsible for the enhanced fear retrieval. (A) Experimental steps of FACS ( n = 3/group); (B) gate strategy and sorting results; (C) representative bands and quantitative data of PGC‐1α and NRF1 proteins; (D) representative bands and quantitative data of hippocampal CX43 protein in the control group and on Days 1, 7, and 14 after SPS modeling; (E) flowchart of the experiment ( n = 6/group); (F and G) freezing time of Con+CSF and Con+GAP27 group mice in the contextual fear test (F) and the cued fear test (G); (H) ELISA for detecting the ATP levels in the hippocampal tissues of the mice in the Con+CSF and Con+GAP27 groups; (I) ELISA for detecting the ATP levels in the hippocampal tissues of the mice in the control and SPS groups. Data are presented as mean and SEM. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 between groups ( t ‐test or Tukey test).
Techniques Used: Control, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: AST PGC‐1α knockdown enhanced fear memory and anxiety‐like behaviors and impaired AST structure. (A) Flowchart of the experiment ( n = 9/group); (B) representative images of virus‐labeled astrocytes; (C) representative bands and quantitative data of PGC‐1α and CX43; (D) freezing of mice in the contextual fear test; (E) freezing of mice in the cued fear test; (F) the percentage of time that mice spent exploring the open arm in the elevated maze test out of the total time; (G and H) the total distance and representative traces of the open field test; (I and J) the results and representative images of the Sholl analysis of astrocytes. The data are presented as mean ± standard error ( n = 3/group). (K) Representative image of S100A10 immunofluorescence staining (scale bar: 50 µm); (L) the percentage of colabeling of S100A10 and PGC‐1α ( n = 3/group). Data are presented as mean and SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 between groups ( t ‐test).
