FIGURE 5 Stat3 inhibitor S3I-201 suppresses RG proliferation after stab wound injury in adult optic tectum. (A?C) Representative images of proliferative RG (BLBP+ PCNA+) in injured optic tectum treated with 1% DMSO (A), 10 ?M S3I-201 (B), or 100 ?M S3I-201 (C) at 1 dpi. (A??C?) Magnified images of the boxed area in each image. White arrowheads indicate BLBP+ PCNA+ cells and dashed lines indicate the area injured by needle insertion. Scale bar: 50 ?m in (A?C) and (A??C?). (D) Schematic diagram of drug administration. (E) Quantification of proliferative RG (BLBP+ PCNA+) treated with 1% DMSO, 10 ?M S3I-201 (n = 4), or 100 ?M S3I-201 (n = 5) at 1 dpi. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey?s post hoc test. (F) Quantification of proliferative cells except RG (BLBP-PCNA+) treated with 1% DMSO, 10 ?M S3I-201 (n = 4), or 100 ?M S3I-201 (n = 5) at 1 dpi. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey?s post hoc test.
