Scalp Acupuncture and Treadmill Training Inhibits Neuronal Apoptosis through Activating cIAP1 in Cerebral Ischemia Rats

Figure 7

Effect of SA-T on neuronal apoptosis and the expression of NeuN and cIAP1 on the cIAP1 shRNA interference pMCAO model. (a) Quantification of TUNEL positive cells on the 3rd, 7^th, and 14th days. Neuronal apoptosis using TUNEL assay. Images were captured using an optical microscope (× 400). (b) Detection of the expression level of NeuN protein in the brain by Western blot on the 3rd, 7^th, and 14th days. (c) Quantification of cIAP1 positive cells on the 3rd, 7^th, and 14th days. (d) Detection of the expression level of cIAP1 protein in the brain by Western blot on the 3rd, 7^th, and 14th days. Data are presented as mean ± SEM; n = 6 per group at each time point. ^a vs. S-con group, ^b vs. M-con group, ^c vs. SA-T group.
