doi: 10.1038/s41467-024-50190-7
Figure Lengend Snippet: A , B Immunohistochemical analysis of IGFBP2 expression in the hippocampus. GFAP was used as an astrocytic marker. IGFBP2 signals that were colocalized with GFAP were quantified. Control, n = 293 ROIs from 15FOVs, 3 mice; AstroP2Y1OE, n = 331 ROIs from 12 FOVs, 3 mice (two-sided two-sample t-test). Data are presented as mean ± s.d. C Representative traces of EFS-evoked neuronal Ca 2+ signals (magenta) and astrocytic Ca 2+ signals (green). Compared with control IgG (n = 20 ROIs from 3 slices, 3 mice), IGFBP2 antibodies reduced neuronal Ca 2+ signals without affecting astrocytic Ca 2+ signals in AstroP2Y1OE mice (n = 40 ROIs from 6 slices, 3 mice) (two-sided two-sample t-test). Data are presented as mean ± s.d. D IGFBP2 at 10 ng/mL (1 h at room temperature) enhanced EFS-evoked neuronal Ca 2+ signals in the soma. ACSF (control), n = 42 cells from 5 slices, 3 mice; IGFBP2, n = 61 cells from 6 slices, 3 mice (two-sided two-sample t-test). Data are presented as mean ± s.d.

F Traces of neuronal Ca 2+ signals in the soma of AstroP2Y1OE mice with or without Igfbp2 knockdown in astrocytes. Control, n = 55 cells from 9 slices, 4 mice; Igfbp2 gRNA, n = 33 cells from 5 slices, 3 mice (two-sided Mann–Whitney U test). Data are presented as mean ± s.d.

Article Snippet: Slices were washed three times with PBS before being treated with 0.5% Triton-X100/10% normal goat serum (VectorLaboratories Cat# S-1000-20) for 1 h. After three washes with PBS, sections were incubated for 48 h with the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti-IGFBP2 antibody (1:500, Abcam, RRID:AB_2938998), mouse anti-IGFBP2 antibody (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Cat# sc-515134), rat anti-GFAP antibody (1:2000, Thermo Fisher Scientific; RRID: AB_2532994), rabbit anti-P2Y1R antibody (1:250, Alomone Labs; RRID: AB_2040070), rabbit anti-SOX9 antibody (1:1000, Millipore; RRID: AB_2239761), rat anti-mCherry (16D7) (1:2000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, RRID: AB_2536611), mouse anti-hemagglutinin (HA) antibody (1:500, BioLegend, RRID: AB_2565336), guinea pig anti-GLT-1 antibody (1:1000, Sigma-Aldrich, RRID:AB_90949), and rabbit anti-GLAST antibody (1:200, Nittobo Medical, MSFR102120).
