Figure 1. An increase in GluN2C expression, but not GluN2A or GluN2B, was observed following ischemia.
(a) Summary data showing quantitative real time PCR results of GluN2A, GluN2B and GluN2C mRNA levels extracted from acute hippocampal slices following 4 min OGD and 90 min reperfusion. Ct-values are normalized to β-actin internal control. (b,c) Representative Western blot showing GluN2C upregulation in membrane fraction of acute hippocampal slices (labeled Hp in figure) following 4 min OGD and 3 hr reperfusion (b) or 12 min GCI and 6 hr reperfusion (c) (full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. S8). Cerebellum lysate (labeled Cb in figure) was used as positive control for GluN2C expression. Graphs depict mean ± SEM (n = 3, *p < 0.05, Student’s t-test).
