Microglial activation after cardiopulmonary bypass/deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and ANXA1sp or vehicle treatment. ANXA1sp significantly improved microglial morphology both in the hippocampus (A) and cerebral cortex (B) 24 h after CPB/DHCA. (C,D) Microglial morphology was quantified based on four morphological subtypes: 1. round/amoeboid microglia; 2. stout microglia; 3. microglia with thick long processes; and 4. microglia with thin ramified processes. (E) Overall microglial numbers in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were reduced after surgery in ANXA1sp-treated rats. Scale bar: 20 µm. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3–5 slides/tissue section from five rats per group). *P < 0.05 compared to vehicle controls, analyzed with two-way ANOVA Sidak’s multiple comparisons test (C,D) and **P < 0.01 with unpaired t test (E).
