Figure Legend Snippet: Protective effects of Gryllus bimaculatus (Gb) extract on abnormal expression levels of glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic proteins in the valproic acid (VPA)-induced autism spectrum disorder (ASD) mouse brain tissues. Immunoblot analyses for GRM5, vGluT1, NMDA R1, GABA R1α, and VGAT proteins were performed on prefrontal cortex (PFC) tissue lysates collected at embryonic day 15 (E15) (A) , postnatal day 3 (P3) (B) , and P40 (C) from mice subjected to various treatment combinations. Experimental groups included CTL (saline, n = 8); VPA (600 mg/kg VPA, n = 8); VPA + Gb 5 (600 mg/kg VPA + 5 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); VPA + Gb 10 (600 mg/kg VPA + 10 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); Gb 5 (5 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); Gb 10 (10 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8). Control values were normalized to 1 (mean ± SEM, n = 3; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 compared with control; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 compared with VPA alone; ns , not significant).
Techniques Used: Expressing, Western Blot, Saline, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: Regulatory effects of Gryllus bimaculatus (Gb) extract on excitatory and inhibitory neuronal activity in primary cortical neurons from valproic acid (VPA)-treated embryonic mice. (A) Schematic representation of primary cortical neuron cultures derived from embryonic mouse brains. Experimental groups included CTL (saline, n = 8); VPA (600 mg/kg VPA, n = 8); VPA + Gb 5 (600 mg/kg VPA + 5 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); VPA + Gb 10 (600 mg/kg VPA + 10 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); Gb 5 (5 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); Gb 10 (10 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8). (B,D) Immunoblot analyses of NMDA R1, vGluT1, GRM5, GABA R1α, VGAT, NLGN3, NRXN1, and Tuj-1 in cultured primary cortical neuron lysates. Equal amounts of protein were loaded per lane, with β-tubulin used as a loading control. The bars represent fold-changes in the densitometric values of individual protein bands relative to the corresponding β-tubulin band densities. Control values were normalized to 1 (mean ± SEM, n = 3; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 compared with control; ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 compared with VPA alone; ns , not significant). (C) Confocal microscopy images of cortical neurons from various experimental groups. Cells were cultured for 7 days, fixed, and subsequently immunostained for vGluT1 (red), with nuclei counterstained using DAPI (blue). Scale bar: 50 μm.
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, Derivative Assay, Saline, Western Blot, Cell Culture, Control, Confocal Microscopy
Figure Legend Snippet: Crucial role of astrocytes in excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) neurotransporter activities in Gryllus bimaculatus (Gb) extract-treated mixed cultures from valproic acid (VPA)-treated mouse brain. (A) Schematic representation of three different types of mixed culture systems derived from embryonic and postnatal mouse brains: Type 1, astrocytes from each treatment group combined with neurons from untreated mice; Type 2, astrocytes from untreated mice combined with neurons from each treatment group; Type 3, astrocytes and neurons both derived from the same treatment group. Astrocytes from postnatal day 3 mouse brains were seeded for 7 days, followed by the addition of cortical neurons from embryonic day 15 mouse brains onto astrocytes monolayers for an additional 7 days. (B–D) Confocal microscopy images of the different types of mixed cultures. Cells were fixed and immunostained for Tuj-1 (green) and GFAP (purple), with nuclei counterstained using DAPI (blue). Scale bar: 50 μm. Experimental groups included CTL (saline, n = 8); VPA (600 mg/kg VPA, n = 8); VPA + Gb 5 (600 mg/kg VPA + 5 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); VPA + Gb 10 (600 mg/kg VPA + 10 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); Gb 5 (5 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8); Gb 10 (10 g/kg Gb extract, n = 8). (E) Western blots analysis of type III mixed culture. Cell lysates were immunoblotted for Tuj-1, GFAP, synaptophysin, NMDA receptor 1 (NMDA R1), GABA receptor 1α (GABA R1α), EAAT1, and EAAT2. Equal amounts of protein were loaded per each lane, with β-actin serving as the loading control. Bars represent fold-changes in the densitometric values of the bands relative to the corresponding β-actin densities. Control values were normalized to 1 (mean ± SEM, n = 3; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 compared with control; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 compared with VPA alone; ns , not significant).
