CBS expression in the striatum after pMCAO. (a) Representative Western blot results on CBS expression at 3 to 24 hr post-pMCAO in the striatum. (b) Densitometry measurement of CBS expression over 24 hr after pMCAO. Protein expression is expressed relative to the ipsilateral control C. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 3–4. ANOVA for CBS 63 kDa: F(3, 8) = 3.524, p = .068. ANOVA for CBS 45 kDa: F(3, 8) = 13.637, p < .05; #p < .05 against the ipsilateral control by Bonferroni; *p < .05 against the contralateral by independent t test. (c) Immunofluorescent staining of CBS showed increased CBS expression in the striatum 24 hr after pMCAO (a) compared with sham-control rats (b). Scale bar: 200 µm. (c) shows the location where the CBS immunofluorescent photomicrographs were taken. (d) Colocalization of CBS (green) and GFAP (red, top panel) and lack of colocalization of CBS (green) and NeuN (red, bottom panel) in the striatum at 24 hr after pMCAO. Scale bar: 50 µm. CBS = cystathionine β-synthase; pMCAO = permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion; ANOVA = analysis of variance.
