Figure Lengend Snippet: SHPL-49 at a dosage of 90 mg/kg enhances synaptic plasticity. (A) Representative Golgi-Cox staining images of rat brain tissue. (B) Quantitative analysis of dendritic spine density. (C–E) qRT-PCR analysis of key markers associated with synaptic remodeling: SYP, β-III tubulin and MAP-2. (F) Representative Western blot images showing the expression of presynaptic markers SYP and SYN1, as well as the postsynaptic marker PSD95, in rat brain tissue. (G) Quantification of SYP protein levels in rat brain tissue. (H) Quantification of SYN1 protein levels in rat brain tissue. (I) Quantification of PSD95 protein levels in rat brain tissue. (J) Immunofluorescence staining image of SYP, SYN1, PSD95, and the glial scar. Scale bars = 50 μm for synaptic markers; and 200 μm for the glial scar. (K) Quantification of SYP fluorescence intensity based on immunofluorescence staining. (L) Quantification of SYN1 fluorescence intensity based on immunofluorescence staining. (M) Quantification of PSD95 fluorescence intensity based on immunofluorescence staining. (N) Quantification of glial scar area based on immunofluorescence Staining.
