(a) DEGs that can be clustered into GO pathways (B) such as regulators
of apoptotic signaling pathways, axon development pathways, and pathways that
are involved in responses to stress.
(C) Validation of the top selected gene expression by qRT-PCR (n = 7 for
each group).
(D–G) Nurr1 (Nr4a2) expression is decreased in peri-infarct
cortex in stroke mice (arrows in D) but partially restored in ISP-treated mice
(n = 4 for each group). Nurr1 expression is mainly detected in the
NeuN+ neurons in the peri-infarct zone.
(H–J) Bcl2 expression is upregulated in ISP-treated peri-infarct
zone enriched in Iba1+ cells not GFAP+ reactive astrocytes
(n = 4 for each group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p <
0.001, Student’s t test for (C) and 2-way ANOVA for (J) and (G). Scale
bar=50 μm.
