Transcriptional expression of astrocytic genes in the somatosensory cortex of early-symptomatic and moderate symptomatic Mecp2 KO animals. (A,B) The graphs depict the mRNA expression of selected astrocytic genes in somatosensory cortex of early-symptomatic [at P20 (A)] and moderate symptomatic [at P40 (B)] KO mice, compared to the corresponding WT littermates. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 by Student’s t-test or Mann–Whitney test in accordance with data distribution. Eight animals per genotype were used at each time point (N = 8).
