Effect of YC-1 on 2-h ischemia-induced VEGF expression in neurons and astrocytes. The cellular distribution of VEGF was analyzed by immunostaining with NeuN (marker of neurons) or GFAP (marker of astrocytes) after 2-h MCAO. Double immunostain of VEGF (green) and NeuN (red) showed a good colocalization of VEGF and neurons and YC-1 treatment significantly decreased the proportion of VEGF-positive neurons (A). Double immunostain of VEGF (green) and GFAP (red) showed no co-localization of VEGF and astrocytes (B). After quantification, two-way ANNOVA showed an increased proportion of VEGF positive neurons and YC-1 significantly decreased this upregulation (C,D). n = 3/group. Scale bar = 50 μm. n = 3/group. *P < 0.05 compared to the NeuN+/VEGF+ cells in the NI hemisphere. ##P < 0.01 compared to NeuN+/VEGF+ cells in I hemisphere of Vehicle group.
