Fig. 8. ET-1 protein is increased in the SVZ of adult CARASAL patients.
a, b ET-1 staining in the adult human SVZ of CARASAL patients and age-matched controls. Scale bars = 50 μm. c Quantification of the number of ET-1+ pixels in the SVZ (n = 20 images of the SVZ of two control and two CARASAL patients). d, e ET-1+ GFAP+ astrocytes in the SVZ of CARASAL patients, compared with controls. Scale bars = 25 μm. f Quantification of the number of GFAP+ ET-1+ cells per area in the SVZ (n = 37 images of the SVZ of two control patients, 39 images of the SVZ of two CARASAL patients). ***p value < 0.0001 (Welch’s t-test). g, h PDGFRα staining in the adult human SVZ of CARASAL patients and age-matched controls. Scale bars = 50 μm. i Quantification of the number of PDGFRα+ cells per area in the SVZ (n = 10 images of the SVZ of two control patients, 15 images of the SVZ of two CARASAL patients). **p value = 0.0044 (Welch’s t-test). Data are presented as mean values ± SEM. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
