Notch3 expression is regulated by nestin in vitro. A Hierarchical clustered heatmap showing the gene expression patterns (fold change < − 2.0 or ≥ 2.0) in nestin-expressing (Nes+) and -nonexpressing (Nes−) endothelial cells (EC, n = 2 per group). Each row and line represent one sample and differentially expressed genes, respectively. Red and blue indicate upregulation and downregulation, respectively. B Dot plot showing the absolute value of fold change of differentially expressed genes between Nes+ and Nes− EC. Notch3 is presented at sixth place. C Pericyte markers (Notch3 and CD13) expressed on CD45−/nestin-expressing and -nonexpressing cells (n = 4 per group). D and E Effect of nestin (D, n = 8 per group) or Notch3 (E, n = 6 per group)-gene silencing in MS1 cells on mRNA expression. F Morphological changes in MS1 cells treated with control or Notch3 siRNA in 2D culture at 48 h. Scale bars = 100 μm
