Fig. 8. Quantitative analysis of the effect of MET KD transfection on the apical
and basal compartment of dendritic arbors. Cortical slices were bombarded with
gold particles carrying a combination of either pEGFP and a control empty
vector (Ctr) or pEGFP and a vector expressing the kinase-dead MET receptor
(METKD). We additionally tested the effect of the dominant negative
transfection on cultures supplemented with 200 ng/ml HGF (HGF). The bar charts
illustrate percent change in dendrite length and branch number relative to
control-transfected neurons. *P<0.05,
**P<0.01 versus control transfections;
P<0.001 post-hoc significance between control and MET KD
transfections in HGF-treated cultures. Between 40 and 50 individual neurons
were analysed under each condition.
