Astrocyte-specific deletion of ephrin-B1 triggers accelerated recovery of vGlut1-positive excitatory presynaptic sites in SR area of CA1 hippocampus at 7 dpi. (a) Confocal images show increased ephrin-B1 immunoreactivity (green) in WT (left panel), but not ephrin-B1 KO astrocytes (right panel) in the SR at 3 dpi. Note that the remaining ephrin-B1-positive immunoreactivity (green) in ephrin-B1 KO (right panel) represent ephrin-B1 expression in dendrites of CA1 neurons. (b, c) Graphs show integrated intensity of ephrin-B1 immunoreactivity per GFAP-positive astrocyte (b) and vGlut1-positive puncta per 100 µm2 area (mean ± SEM; n = 3–4 mice, two-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni post hoc analysis *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001).
