(F,G) In vivo microdialysis followed by HPLC tests for striatal DA release in mice that received (F) PBS or (G) PQ 2 + -CT . To evoke depolarization-induced release of DA, 240 nmol KCl in isotonic aCSF was perfused over a 15-min period (shaded box). (H) Peak areas under curves were analyzed. n = 5 mice per group. (I) The differences in stride length of mice before and after PQ 2 + -CT in mice exposed to either empty AAV control, neuronal DRP knockdown by AAV, astrocyte DRP1 knockdown by AAV, or non-selective DRP1 knockdown using mdivi-1. n = 10 mice per group (J) Rotarod tests of the mice in different groups. The value was measured before and after PQ 2 + -CT , and the differences were calculated by “after” minus “before.” Data are shown as mean ± SD . Two-way ANOVAs were followed by the Bonferroni multiple comparison test. *, p < 0.05 ; **, p < 0.01 ; *** /### , p < 0.001 ; ns, no significance. The numeric data are shown in Excel Table S3. In two-way ANOVAs, “*” was used to present the statistical difference between groups both treated by PQ 2 + , and “#” was used to present the statistical difference between the PBS- and the PQ 2 + -treated groups.

PQ 2 + / PQ + concentration in the extracellular culture medium ranged from 0 to 800 μ M ( x -axis), and the uptake level of PQ 2 + / PQ + into astrocytes were detected in the cell lysate ( y -axis). Drp-1 siRNA was used to knockdown DRP1 in GL261 astrocytes. The average area under the curves were calculated and used for statistical analysis. n = 6 independent experiments per group.
