A Immunofluorescent staining of Iba-1 (red) and C/EBPβ (green) in the hippocampus CA1 region of the brains from 6-month-old vehicle, 12-HHTrE, or PGE2-treated C/EBPβ Tg mice. Scale bar: 40 μm. B Quantitative analysis of Iba-1 optical density (n = 8 biologically independent samples in each group, data are shown as mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test). C The high magnification of immunofluorescent staining of Iba-1 (green) and CD86 (red) positive microglia in the hippocampus CA1 region of the brains from vehicle, 12-HHTrE, or PGE2-treated C/EBPβ Tg mice. Scale bar: 40 μm. D Quantitative analysis of diameter, number of branch points, and total branch length in Iba-1 (green) positive microglia. (n = 8 biologically independent samples in each group, data are shown as mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test). E Proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα concentrations in the brain lysates from vehicle, 12-HHTrE, or PGE2-treated C/EBPβ Tg mice, respectively. (n = 5 biologically independent samples in each group, data are shown as mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test). F Concentrations of arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites in vehicle, 12-HHTrE, or PGE2-treated C/EBPβ Tg mice cortex. (n = 5 biologically independent samples in each group, data are shown as mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test).
