miR-150 antagomiR enhances the activity of hippocampal neurons of rats. (A) Infarction area in the brain tissues of rats as determined via triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining (scale bar, 5 mm). (B) c-fos protein expression levels in brain tissues were examined via immunohistochemistry (scale bar, 50 µm). (C) Neuron activity in the brain tissues of rats was measured by performing Nissl staining (scale bar, 50 µm). Experiments were repeated three times. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test was used to analyze the presented data. **P<0.01 vs. control; ^##P<0.01 vs. antagomiR NC. miR, microRNA; NC, negative control; VD, vascular dementia.
