Myo9a deficiency decreases the number of S100 protein positive, multiciliated ependymal cells in the aqueduct. (A and B) Immunofluorescence staining of coronal sections from P0.5 Myo9a−/− (A) and WT mice (B) for S100 protein (green), acetylated tubulin (red), and DNA (blue). (C) Statistical analysis of S100-positive and multiciliated ependymal cells. The number of S100-positive ependymal cells was reduced in Myo9a−/− mice (34.7 ± 5.6%; n = 4) compared with Myo9a+/+ mice (68.9 ± 17.8%; n = 5; *p < 0.05). The number of multiciliated ependymal cells was similarly reduced (34.4 ± 7.4 vs. 62 ± 15.4%). Scale bar, 50 μm.
