Local blockade of P2X7r reduces injury-induced proliferation. (A) Experimental design. (B) Numerous nuclei are labeled for EdU in the ependyma of control animals after 8 DPI. (C) The number of EdU + nuclei is lower when the hydrogel injected in the lesion was loaded with the selective P2X7r antagonist AZ10606120 (10 μM). (D) Boxplot showing the number of EdU + nuclei in control animals was significantly higher than that of mice in which the P2X7r was blocked by AZ10606120 (Mann-Whitney test, p < 0.0001) The line of the boxplots represents the median of the values for each sample. ****p < 0.0001. Scale bars: (B,C), 10 μm.
