Fig. 5From: Sexually dimorphic extracellular vesicle responses after chronic spinal cord injury are associated with neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the aged brainValidation of Nanostring DEGs with Western blot. Tissue samples from the cortex (A) and hippocampus (B) were processed for Western blot analysis to validate the top DEGs derived from Nanostring. A Expression of the DEG markers PSD95 (Dlg4), NCX1 (Slc8a1), Nefl (Neurofilament Light), and PRAS40 (Akt1s1) in cortex tissue. B Expression of the DEG markers GluN2B (Grin2b), C1qA (C1qa), Nefl, and PKCα (Prkca) in the hippocampus. n = 6 mice/group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 vs. Sham groups, #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001 vs. SCI/Male.
