Figure 1. Expression of miR-124 and cell viability in OGD/R-induced neurons. (A) The change of primary neurons cultured up to day 1, day 3, day 5, and day 7; (B) Representative immunofluorescence images of Map-2 (green) and DAPI (blue) co-staining the primary cortical neurons. Scale bar, 50μm; (C) The Cell viability of the primary cortical neurons under OGD treatment for 0, 1, 2, and 3 h were detected by CCK-8 assay; (D) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-124 levels the primary cortical neurons under OGD treatment for 0, 1, 2, and 3 h; (E) the change between normal neurons and neurons after OGD(2h)/R treatment. Data were expressed as mean ± SD (derived from three independent experiments for each sample). NS, not significant for p > 0.05, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 (one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s post hoc tests).
