Fig. 2From: Electroacupuncture promotes neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus and improves pattern separation in an early Alzheimer's disease mouse modelKnockdown of Wnt5a using rAAV and validation of knockdown efficiency (A) shWnt5a or shC injected into the DG bilaterally. Coordinates of hippocampal DG area: from Bregma AP: − 2.00 mm, ML: ± 1.3 mm, DV: − 2.3 mm (B) Viral expression map of the DG. C Wnt5a mRNA levels were detected by qPCR after virus injection. (D, E) Western blot pictures and statistical results of Wnt5a expression levels in the hippocampus of mice in each group; (F, G) Western blot pictures and statistical results of FZD2 expression levels in the hippocampus of mice in each group. All data are presented as mean ± SD; N = 3 mice; ***P < 0.001 vs. WT group; #P < 0.05 vs. 5 × FAD group; &P < 0.05, &&&P < 0.001 vs EA groupBack to article page
