SVCT2 down-regulation might attenuate the regenerative ability resulting from NSPCs after ischemia. (A) Representative immunostaining of co-labeled DCX and SVCT2 at SVZ on day 7 in group Sham and MCAO. DAPI was used to label the nuclei. White arrows indicated co-labeled DCX⁺ and SVCT2⁺ NSPCs. Scale bar: 20 μm. (B) Representative immunoblotting images and quantitative analysis of SVCT2 at SVZ on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 in group Sham and MCAO. Data presented mean ± SEM, n = 3; ^∗P < 0.05, ^∗∗P < 0.01, significantly different from Sham. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. SVZ, subventricular zone.
