STING^−/− mice display reduced GFAP protein expression following TBI. a Representative images (n = 6 mice for each genotype and timepoint) showing GFAP protein levels in wild-type and STING^−/− mice after TBI as assessed by western blot analysis. Significantly increased expression of GFAP was observed in the ipsilateral striatum of wild-type mice 24 h post-TBI but not in STING^−/− mice as compared with sham group, as quantified in (b). Data represent mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05. IC ipsilateral cortex, IS ipsilateral striatum, CC contralateral cortex, CS contralateral striatum
