Figure 6. MeCP2 and BDNF are increased in human primary neurons that are exposed to cocaine.
A) Representative western blot of lysate from human primary neurons exposed to cocaine for 72h. B) Graphic representation of changes in total MeCP2 normalized to GAPDH, *p=0.046. C) Graphic representation of changes in precursor BDNF (proBDNF) normalized to GAPDH, p=0.215 D) Graphic representation of changes in mature BDNF (mBDNF) normalized to GAPDH, *p=0.042. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, n ≥ 3 using the unpaired T-test. NS is not statistically significant.
