FIGURE 1.
TRPV4 is expressed in a restricted subpopulation of astrocytes. A and B, TRPV4 mRNA (green) and GFAP (red) expression (A) or TRPV4 mRNA (green) and S100β (red) expression (B) in adult mouse hippocampus (CA1). White arrowheads indicate TRPV4+ astrocytes. Scale bars, 100 μm. C, TRPV4 mRNA expression (green) in cultured astrocytes. Astrocytes were identified by S100β expressions (red). White arrowheads indicate TRPV4 + astrocytes. Scale bar, 50 μm.
