Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 7 Interaction among clozapine and inhibitors of Src and III-mGluR on the expression of pannexin1 and phosphorylated Src in the cultured astrocytes. (a) Interaction between 10 μM PP2 (Src inhibitor) and 10 μM clozapine on pannexin1 expression in the astroglial plasma membrane. (b) Interaction between 100 μM CPPG (III-mGluR inhibitor) and 10 μM clozapine on phosphorylated-Src expression in the astroglial plasma membrane. In the upper histograms, ordinate: mean ± SD (n = 6) of the relative levels of pannexin1 (PANX) per GAPDH or phosphorylated Src (pSrc) per Src. *P < 0.05: relative to control (clozapine free) by two-way ANOVA with Scheffe's post hoc test. @: P < 0.05: relative to 10 μM clozapine exposure by two-way ANOVA with Scheffe's post hoc test. F-values of the interaction between 10 μM PP2 and chronic exposure to 10 μM clozapine on the expression of pannexin1 using two-way ANOVA were [Fclozapine(1,20) = 55.5 (P < 0.01), FPP2(1,20) = 0.2 (P > 0.05), Fclozapine*PP2(1,20) = 1.1 (P > 0.05)]. F- values of the interaction between 100 μM CPPG and chronic exposure to 10 μM clozapine on the expression of pSrc using two-way ANOVA were [Fclozapine(1,20) = 56.0 (P < 0.01), FCPPG(1,20) = 27.7 (P < 0.01), Fclozapine*CPPG(1,20) = 0.4 (P > 0.05)]. The lower panels indicate pseudo-gel images of capillary immunoblotting.
