The increase of PGRN reduced brain infarct volume and promoted
neurobehavioral recovery after tMCAO. (a) Experimental scheme. (b)
Representative cresyl violet-stained brain sections at 3 days of tMCAO
mice treated with saline, chloroquine, or trehalose, n = 5 per group.
The brain infarct area was circled by the dashed line, and bar graph
showed the quantitative comparison of the infarct volume,
**p < 0.01. Data are presented as mean ± SD. (c)
Brain atrophy at 14 days were also detected by Cresyl violet in saline,
chloroquine, and trehalose group, the dashed line represented brain
atrophy. Bar graph showed the brain atrophy volume, n = 5 per group,
**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
Data are presented as mean ± SD and (d–e) Neurobehavioral recovery was
assessed by mNSS (d), and Grid walking tests (e), n = 9–15 per group,
**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
(saline vs Treh), #p < 0.05,
###p < 0.001 (saline vs Chq), Data
are presented as mean ± SD.
