AQP4 and Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Moreover, the confocal analysis for Dp71 and AQP4 showed the reduction of Dp71 protein in DMD neurons (Fig. 3d, e) compared to strong Dp71 expression in the control ones (Fig. 3a, b) while the AQP4 protein was lacking in DMD neurons (Fig. 3d, f) and weakly expressed in control one (Fig. 3a, c).
