Fig. 3From: Astrocytic endothelin-1 overexpression promotes neural progenitor cells proliferation and differentiation into astrocytes via the Jak2/Stat3 pathway after strokeET-1 overexpression promoted cell proliferation in the SVZ of mice following tMCAO. Double-labeled immunofluorescence staining showing the expression of a BrdU/Sox2; c Ki67/Nestin in SVZ of mice after tMCAO. The arrows indicate the positive signals inside cells. b, d The number of BrdU+Sox+ and Ki67+Nestin+ cells in the SVZ, respectively *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
