AZE treatment induces BDNF expression in BV2 cells. (A). Representative photomicrographs of BDNF+ staining in the BV2 microglial cell line. Cells were either left untreated or treated with AZE as indicated and then processed for immunocytochemistry (ICC) as detailed in Section 2. Red = BDNF+ cells (Alexa Fluor 488). DAPI = nuclei. Scale bar = 50 µm. (B). BDNF transcript levels, as determined by real-time qPCR. Fold changes were calculated using the ΔCt method. Data is the mean ± SEM (n = 6). * p < 0.05 vs. Ctrl at the indicated time points. (C,D) Western blot analyses of Iba protein expression and densitometric analyses of blots. Data reported is the mean ± SEM, from two independent experiments using separate batches of cells (n = 6). GAPDH was used as loading control. Ns = not significant. * p < 0.05 vs. Ctrl at the indicated time, as determined by ANOVA followed by Sidak’s post hoc test.
