Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 8. WB analyses of biochemically isolated fractions from primary SoCx for GABAAR α4, α5, and δ subunits. Subcellular fractions were isolated from the control (NE) littermates and epileptic epileptic (E) stargazers. (A–D) Biochemical fractionation analysis revealed no signif- icant change in GABAAR α4 in all subcellular components from the primary SoCx of stargaz- ers compared to their NE littermates: total lysate (NE: 1.000 ± 0.063 [n = 9], E: 1.353 ± 0.227 [n = 9]; p = 0.257), cytosol (NE: 1.000 ± 0.088 [n = 14], E: 1.308 ± 0.223 [n = 10]; p = 0.172), extra-synaptic (NE: 1.000 ± 0.051 [n = 14], E: 0.789 ± 0.183 [n = 9]; p = 0.516), and synaptic (NE: 1.000 ± 0.047 [n = 14], E: 0.955 ± 0.122 [n = 9]; p = 0.369). (E–H) GABAAR α5 anal- ysis revealed no significant change in all subcellular components from the primary SoCx of stargazers compared to their control littermates: total lysate (NE: 1.000 ± 0.094 [n = 10], E: 0.919 ± 0.102 [n = 10]; p = 0.566), cytosol (NE: 1.000 ± 0.113 [n = 14], E: 1.295 ± 0.362 [n = 8]; p = 0.920), extra-synaptic (NE: 1.000 ± 0.068 [n = 13], E: 1.324 ± 0.214 [n = 9]; p = 0.431) and, synaptic (NE: 1.000 ± 0.075 [n = 13], E: 1.190 ± 0.195 [n = 9]; p = 0.744). (I–L) No statistically significant change was also seen for GABAAR δ subunit in all subcellular compo- nents from the primary SoCx of stargazers compared to their control littermates: total lysate (NE:1.000 ± 0.071 [n = 15], E: 1.088 ± 0.201 [n = 9]; p = 0.815), cytosol (NE: 1.000 ± 0.083 [n = 15], E: 0.831 ± 0.138 [n = 9]; p = 0.379), extra-synaptic (NE: 1.000 ± 0.078 [n = 15], E: 1.419 ± 0.241 [n = 10]; p = 0.191), and synaptic (NE: 1.000 ± 0.053 [n = 15], E: 1.092 ± 0.094 [n = 9]; p = 0.263). The significance threshold was set at 0.05. ‘ns’ indicates no significant change found from analyses.
