MFN1 and brain infarction: Neurobehavioral status (Neurological behavior scores) and the volume of the cerebral infarction (TTC staining); brain mitochondrial potential (JCI ratio test) and cell apoptosis (TUNEL assay); RAS protein expression, phosphorylated/total ERK1/2 and Drp-1 (Dynamic-related protein 1) protein levels (Western blotting); mitochondrial fusion-related proteins mitofusin-1/2 (Mfn1/2), optic atrophy (OPA-1) and mitochondrial fission 1 (Fis1), and autophagy-associated proteins Beclin-1, LC3-I/II and P62 (Western blotting and immunohistochemistry) were analyzed.
