Fig. 7From: Circulating mitochondria promoted endothelial cGAS-derived neuroinflammation in subfornical organ to aggravate sympathetic overdrive in heart failure miceC-MitoHF promoted glial activation and neuronal sensitization in the SFO depended on endothelial cGAS in HF mice. A, B Double-immunofluorescent staining showed that compared with C-MitoCtrl, C-MitoHF exacerbated microglial M1 polarization in the SFO of HF mice, which could be mitigated by endothelial cGAS KD in the SFO. Scale bar = 100 μm. C, D Double-immunofluorescent staining showed that compared with C-MitoCtrl, C-MitoHF exacerbated astroglial A1 transition in the SFO of HF mice, which could be mitigated by endothelial cGAS KD in the SFO. Scale bar = 100 μm. E, F Double-immunofluorescent staining showed that compared with C-MitoCtrl, C-MitoHF exacerbated neuronal sensitization in the SFO of HF mice, which could be mitigated by endothelial cGAS KD in the SFO.
