Wogonin increases the protein levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 following TBI in the hippocampus through the PI3K/Akt pathway. (A) Western blotting assays of Nrf2 and HO-1 were performed in the hippocampal CA1 region of the sham group, TBI group, TBI + Wog group, TBI + Wog + LY group and TBI + DMSO group at 24 h after the operation. The optical density of (B) Nrf2 and (C) HO-1 bands relative to β-actin was analyzed. (D) Representative immunofluorescence confocal images were used to evaluate the co-localization of Nrf2 (green) and NeuN (red). (E) The quantitative analysis of Nrf2-positive NeuN in the hippocampus. Scale bar, 50 µm. *P<0.05 vs. sham group; #P<0.05 vs. TBI group; $P<0.05 vs. TBI + Wog group; &P< vs. TBI + Wog + LY group. Nrf2, nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2; HO-1, heme oxygenase-1; TBI, traumatic brain injury.
