Fig. 7From: Glycyrrhizic acid inhibits myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells by binding S100 calcium binding protein A8 to improve cognition in aged miceGA binding S100A8 improved cognitive levels of mice via the immune system. A Schematic design of immune reconstitution experiment in B-NDG mice with Lin−CD117+ HSCs, divided into the following groups: non-IR + PBS, IR + PBS (LV201 + PBS), IR + GA (LV201 + GA), IR-OEa8 + PBS (LV201-S100A8 + PBS), and IR-OEa8 (PM69) + GA (LV201-S100A8 (PM69) + GA. B Representative FACS plots and bar graphs showing CD3+ T cells in the spleens of mice in non-IR + PBS, IR + PBS, IR + GA, IR-OEa8 + PBS, and IR-OEa8 (PM69) + GA groups. C Walking paths tracked by software in non-IR + PBS, IR + PBS, IR + GA, IR-OEa8 + PBS, and IR-OEa8 (PM69) + GA groups of mice in the OFT. D Bar graphs showing times spent in the central area of the OFT in non-IR + PBS, IR + PBS, IR + GA, IR-OEa8 + PBS, and IR-OEa8 (PM69) + GA groups. E Experimental design of NOR. Bar graph of cognitive index statistics of mice in non-IR + PBS, IR + PBS, IR + GA, IR-OEa8 + PBS, and IR-OEa8 (PM69) + GA groups. Data represent mean ± SEM. non-IR + PBS, n = 4; IR + PBS, IR + GA, IR-OEa8 + PBS, and IR-OEa8 (PM69) + GA groups, n = 5, *P < 0. 05, **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001; ns, not significant vs. CtrlBack to article page
