Circadian rhythm dysfunction (CRD) aggravated motor neuron (MN) loss and activated glial cells in SOD1G93A mice. (A) MNs [choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)-positive cells, red] and astrocytes [glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells, green] expression in four groups for three stages. (B) MNs (ChAT-positive cells, red) and microcytes (Iba1-positive cells, green) expression in four groups for three stages. Scale bars represent 100 µm. (C) Statistical evaluation of surviving MNs radio by counting the number of ChAT-positive cells. **p < 0.01; * p < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA, n = 4–6 animals per group). (D,E) GFAP and Iba1 expression was quantified at three stages by western blotting (one-way ANOVA, n = 2–3 animals per group). (F) Expression of GFAP and Iba1 in the spinal cord. **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05. Error bars represent SEM.
