From: Methamphetamine alters microglial immune function through P2X7R signaling
METH increases P2X7 purinergic receptor mRNA and protein expression in microglia. a The expression level of P2X7R mRNA in ESdM cells was modestly increased by treatment with 100 μM METH for 48 h (P < 0.0336). b Representative immunoblots of P2X7R in whole cell lysate, protein fraction, and Ponceau S staining (Po-S) as loading control. The ratios of P2X7R to protein loading control are shown in the histogram. Error bars represent mean ± SE of four independent experiments (p < 0.0003). (METH-treated versus control)
