ST2 expression on astrocytes is elevated after HI. a Histograms showing ST2 expression on astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and neurons in the brain 3 days after HI or sham operation. The blue and red lines represent staining in sham and HI brains, respectively, at 3 days after surgery. The gray area represents isotype control staining. b–e Percentages of ST2 expression on astrocytes (b), oligodendrocytes (c), microglia (d), and neurons (e) in sham brain and HI brain at 3 days after surgery. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 5–7 per group), *P < 0.05 compared to sham. f Representative images of GFAP (green) and ST2 (red) labeling in the cerebral cortex 3 days after HI. Scale bar, 25 μm. Nuclei were stained blue with DAPI
