EA prevents NF-κB activation by upregulating ABIN1 expression. (a-c) The levels of ABIN1, p-IκBα, IκBα, nuclear NF-κB p65, and cytoplasmic NF-κB p65 proteins in the peri-infarct cortex at 24 h after reperfusion were detected using western blot. GAPDH served as the internal reference for total and cytoplasmic proteins, and histone H3 served as the internal reference for nuclear proteins (n = 5 rats per group). (d) The nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 was observed with immunofluorescence staining in the peri-infarct area at 24 h after reperfusion (n = 3 rats per group). Scale bar = 20 μm. Column chart presenting the NF-κB p65+ cell counts in the four groups (∗P < 0.05 and ∗∗P < 0.01 compared to the MCAO/R group; #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 compared to the MCAO/R + EA group).
