Figure Lengend Snippet: Hippocampal SIRT6 Expression Profile in a Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-Induced Depression Model. (A) Western blot analysis of SIRT6 expression in the hippocampal brain tissues. D, day. n = 4 mice. (B) Immunostaining for SIRT6 in the hippocampal region three days post-LPS injection revealed an overall reduction in brain tissues, while its expression was concurrently increased specifically in microglia. This was quantified in two graphs showing total SIRT6 expression (left) and microglial SIRT6 expression (right), with arrowheads indicating SIRT6 localization in microglia. n = 4 mice. (C) Western blot analysis of SIRT6 expression in microglia sorted from the hippocampus by MCAS at 3 days post-LPS injection. n = 4 mice. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis: One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test in A; Unpaired t -test for two-group comparisons in B-C.
