SB216763 and Nec-1 reduces the fluorescence intensity of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neurocan in astrocytes after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats. SB216763 (400 pmol) or Nec1 (48 nmol) was intracerebroventricularly administered before ischemia. (A) Representative images of GFAP, neurocan, and Hoechst staining in the peri-infarct zones of the sham or cerebral ischemic cortex at 7 d after reperfusion following tMCAO for 90 min (GFAP: red; neurocan: green; Hoechst: blue). The white dotted line represents the edge between the infarct area and the peri-infarct zones, and the white boxes indicate the corresponding area of the enlarged images shown below. (B) Quantification of fluorescence intensity of GFAP and neurocan in panel A. Mean ± SD, n = 3. **P < 0.01 vs. sham group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. I/R group.
