Fig. 8. FISH and immunohistochemistry for NF-M. (A,A')
NF-M FISH of single confocal optical sections from opposite sides of
spinal cord or unilaterally injected hnRNP K MO1 tadpole (stage
39/40). Broken outlines surround individual neurons. (B1-D4) Cells from
dissociated cell culture. (B1-B3) Control MO neuron stained for NF-M
protein (B1), RNA (B2) and RNA/DAPI merged (B3). (C1,C2)
Adjacent cells from a unilaterally injected hnRNP K MO culture, viewed for
NF-M protein (C1) and RNA (C2). Arrow indicates normal staining for both
protein and RNA; arrowhead indicates a cell with no protein and FISH pattern
typical of hnRNP K MO-injected spinal cord neurons from whole mount.
(D1-D4) Neurons from a bilaterally injected hnRNP K MO culture stained
for protein (D1), RNA (D2), DAPI (D3) and RNA/DAPI merged (D4). Scale bars in
B1,C1 and D2 apply to B1-3,C1-2 and D1-4, respectively. Bar graph shows
qRT-PCR of nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions for NF-M and
peripherin RNAs from bilaterally injected hnRNP K MO and
control animals assayed at stage 29/30.
CT, mean
(±s.d.) difference in the number of PCR cycles to reach threshold (see
text). *
CT was significantly less for
NF-M RNA in hnRNP K MO embryos than for other groups
(P<0.01, one-way ANOVA).
