Fig. 5. Increased clone size upon overexpression of mouse Par6 in vitro.
(A-F) Bar charts representing the composition of clones generated from
E12 (A-C) or E14 (D-F) cortical cells transduced with either control or
Par6-containing plasmids after 7 days in vitro (7div). Par6 overexpression
increased the mean number of cells per clone (A and D; *,
P<0.05; unpaired t-test) as well as the frequency of
large clones (C and F; *, P<0.05; unpaired
t-test) in both E12 (control, n=150; Par6, n=150)
and E14 (control, n=80; Par6, n=96) cell cultures, with a
stronger effect in the E14 cells (compare A-C and D-F). The proportion of
neurons within clones was also significantly reduced in both sets of
experiments (B and D; *, P<0.05; unpaired
t-test).
