Effects of ErbB4 siRNA pre-treatment on blood-brain barrier integrity at 24 h after SAH. ErbB4 siRNA aggravated neurological deficits (A) and increased albumin extravasation (B). Representative western blot bands of ErbB4, YAP, PIK3CB, Occludin and Claudin 5 (C). ErbB4 knockdown decreased the expression of ErbB4 ICD/ErbB4 (D), YAP (E), and PIK3CB (F). The increased expression levels of Occludin and Claudin-5 after Nrg1β1 treatment were significantly reduced by ErbB4 depletion (G,H). The PIK3CB specific inhibitor TGX 221 did not affect the expression of ErbB4 ICD/ErbB4 (D), YAP (E) and significantly reduced the expression of PIK3CB (F), Occludin (G) and Claudin-5 (H). n = 6, #p < 0.05 versus SAH + vehicle; @p < 0.05 versus SAH + Nrg1β1; §p < 0.05 versus SAH + Nrg1β1 + ErbB4siRNA.
