Nav1.5 and NCX1 expression in astrocytes. (a) GFAP positive cultured rat cortical astrocytes (green) exhibit prominent Nav1.5 immunolabelling (red), observed at low magnification (top panel) and at increased magnification (bottom panel). Merged images of GFAP and Nav1.5 are yellow. Scale bars, 25 µm. (b) RT-PCR showing relative mRNA expression of VGSC and NCX. Nav1.5 is the predominant VGSC subtype expressed in cultured rat cortical astrocytes and the NCX1 isoform is also robustly expressed.
