Similarly, the western blotting (WB) results (Figure 3B) and statistical analysis showed that LRP increased the protein expression of VEGF in the ischemic brain 48 h post-stroke (Figure 3C); additionally, the VEGF expression levels were significantly increased in the MCAO + LRP group (Figures 3D,E, P < 0.001) compared with the MCAO group. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is stroke disorder.
