EA enhanced OTULIN expression in ischaemic stroke rats. a A coronal brain section was stained with cresyl violet to show the analysed regions (*: ischaemic core area; □: the ischaemic penumbra of the cerebral cortex; the white dotted line separated the ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral hemisphere.). b OTULIN mRNA levels at each time point were detected using RT-qPCR (n = 3). c OTULIN protein levels in each group were examined using Western blotting. d The histogram presents the quantitative analysis of OTULIN protein (n = 3). e Immunofluorescence for OTULIN expression in the cortical penumbra was performed 48 h after reperfusion. Scale bar = 100 μm. f The histogram presents the quantitative analysis of OTULIN-positive cell counts (n = 8). ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, and *P < 0.05 versus the Sham group; &&&P < 0.001, &&P < 0.01, and &P < 0.05 versus the tMCAO group
