AQ treatment increases Nurr1 and BDNF gene expression. Primary cortical neurons were treated with 10 µM AQ for 24 h. Real-time qRT-PCR data shows that compared to untreated cells, AQ-treated cells exhibited significantly increased levels of (a) Nurr1 and (b) BDNF mRNA. Both targets were normalized to the housekeeping gene GAPDH, which did not change upon AQ treatment (p > 0.05). Two-way ANOVA and post hoc independent samples t-test, *** p < 0.001, n = 6 per group. Error bars: ±SE.
