LPS and DEX resulted in different inflammatory states of astrocytes. (A) Comparison of GFAP mRNA levels between non-reactive astrocytes and LPS-induced reactive astrocytes, with results normalized to the non-reactive astrocytes group (two-tailed Student’s t-test). (B) Comparison of C3 mRNA levels between non-reactive astrocytes (Lucid), LPS-induced reactive astrocytes (LPS), and DEX-reversed reactive astrocytes (LPS + DEX), with results normalized to the Lucid group (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test). (C) Comparison of CCL2 mRNA levels between Lucid, LPS, and LPS + DEX groups, with results normalized to the Lucid group (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test). (D) Comparison of IL-10 mRNA levels between Lucid, LPS, and LPS + DEX groups, with results normalized to the Lucid group (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test). All data are presented as means ± SD. The experiments were performed three times. **P < 0. 01 and ***P < 0.001. LPS: lipopolysaccharide; DEX: dexamethasone; ns: no significance.
