CD36 localizes primarily to hypoperfused microvessels and inflammatory cells infiltrating within the contusion epicenter following SCI. CD36 expression (red) is absent in sham uninjured cords (A), but is upregulated in epicenter and penumbral CD31-expressing microvessels (blue) by 6 (B) and 24 (C) hours post-injury, especially within hypoperfused microvessels, as detected by an absence of LEA (green). By 7 dpi (D–E), CD36 expression is significantly reduced in microvessels but highly expressed in invading CD45+ inflammatory cells. (F) No expression was detectable in CD36−/− mice. Bars = 100 μm.
