From: Scutellarin regulates the Notch pathway and affects the migration and morphological transformation of activated microglia in experimentally induced cerebral ischemia in rats and in activated BV-2 microglia

Figure 4

Scutellarin reduced RBP-JK expression in activated microglia in vivo and in vitro . Confocal images showing the expression of recombining binding protein suppressor of hairless (RBP-JK) (red) in lectin + microglia (green, arrows) in the penumbral zones of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat (D-F) and following treatment with scutellarin (G-I). The expression of RBP-JK (E) is increased in the activated microglia (D) in MCAO rat. A noticeable reduction of RBP-JK expression (H) is observed in activated microglia (G) 7 days following treatment with scutellarin. An upregulation of RBP-JK (N) is observed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 microglia (M) in comparison to control (J-L). RBP-JK is decreased (Q) in activated microglia treated with scutellarin. DAPI - blue. Scale bars in A-I: 20 μm, J-R: 50 μm.
