Figure 3From: Corticosteroids reverse cytokine-induced block of survival and differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from ratsProtein expression of MAG, MBP and CNP at culture day 9. Note the strong reductions of myelin protein expression normalized to actin in western-blots from cells preincubated with IFN-γ and TNF-α (bars to the right). Cotreatment with corticosterone (CS), deoxycorticosterone (DC) or dexamethasone (D), significantly attenuated the inhibition of protein expression for MBP (B) and showed a non-significant tendency for a recovery of CNP (C) and MAG (D), *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001. For reasons of comparison data shown in (B) are based on the same dataset as those shown in Figure 2A of [31].Back to article page
