Fig. 7From: Connexin 30 deficiency attenuates A2 astrocyte responses and induces severe neurodegeneration in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride Parkinson’s disease animal modelAlteration of S100a10 and Gdnf expression in the striatum by Cx30 deficiency. WT and Cx30 KO mice were injected with normal saline (NS) or MPTP, and mice were analysed 1 and 7 days later. a, b RT-PCR analysis of S100a10 mRNA levels normalised to Gapdh mRNA. c, d RT-PCR analysis of Gdnf mRNA levels normalised to Gapdh mRNA. e ELISA analysis of GDNF protein levels. Analyses were performed on days 1 (a, c, e) and 7 (b, d) after treatment. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of n = 4–5 mice per group. N.S., not significant; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 by two-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey–Kramer post hoc testBack to article page
