Heme induces inflammation in cortical organoids (40 days in culture). Forebrain organoids were treated with heme for 8 hours and then NRG-1 for 18 hours. Representative images of organoids under heme and NRG-1 treatment (A) showing the expression of the chemokine CXCL-10, its receptor CXCR3, and BDNF in the VZ, SVZ, IZ and CP of the cortical organoids. The quantification of the staining intensity showed that heme significantly increased the expression of CXCL-10, CXCR3 and BDNF, while NRG-1 significantly reduced this effect (B) in all zones of the forebrain organoids.
