Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative H&E images of the hippocampal formation of CA1 from mice in the con + vehicle, con + DFP, TgCtwh3 + vehicle, and TgCtwh3 + DFP groups. Single black arrowheads, necrotic cells. (B) Western blot analysis of GFAP, IFN-γ, TNF-α, TGF-β and Arg-1 expression in hippocampus. (C) Morris water maze trajectory diagram of mice arriving at the platform on the fifth day of place navigation and the spatial probe test. (D) Escape latency of the place navigation. (E) Platform crossover number of the spatial probe. (F) Swimming speed of the spatial probe. (G) Body weight changes of mice in the above four groups. (H) Percent survival of mice in the above four groups, n = 10 mine. (I) QRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of Tg SAG1 in hippocampus of TgCtwh3 infected mice, and GAPDH was used as reference mRNA, and statistical significance was calculated by two-tailed Student’s t-test, n = 6 mice. Data represent mean ± SD of n = 7 biological replicates. Statistical significance was calculated by Brown-Forsythe and Welch’s ANOVA with Dunnett’s T3 multiple comparison test. # P <0.05, ## P <0.01, ### P <0.001, #### P <0.0001 versus control; * P <0.05, ** P <0.01, *** P <0.001; ns, not significant. Mice were infected with TgCtwh3 for seven days.
