Fig. 3. DNA damage, CCE and OL degeneration are highly correlated in the frontal cortex.
The histological data of OL degeneration, OL-specific DNA damage, CCE and ATM activation were examined for correlations using Pearson test. A–C DSB-DNA damage, OL degeneration and CCE were strongly correlated; D, E The CCE of mOL was significantly associated with their decline in number, but not their apoptosis. F–H A robust correlation between ATM activation, DSB-DNA damage and OL losses were observed. All Pearson test. Data categorized by clinical phenotype (dark square = NC, open square = DEM, red square = AD)
