AlCl3 exposure regulates neuronal development by modulating DNA modification

Figure 2 AlCl₃ exposure inhibits neuronal development. A: Representative images of adult neural stem cell differentiation (scale bar: 100 μm); B-D: Sholl analysis in newborn neuron indicated that the intersection number and length of dendrites both decreased after AlCl₃ exposure (n = 21); E: Representative images of hippocampal neurons (scale bar: 100 μm); F-H: Sholl analysis indicated that the intersection number and length of dendrites both significantly decreased in hippocampal neurons after AlCl₃ exposure (n = 21). Data are represented as the mean ± SE (n = 3). Statistically significant differences are indicated: ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001. Tuj1: β-III tubulin; GFAP: Glial fibrillary acidic protein.
