IL-15 regulates neurosphere differentiation state. (A) Western blotting analysis of the expression of markers of astrocytes (GFAP), neurons (βIII tubulin), oligodendrocytes (MBP), and neural progenitor cells (DCX) in WT and IL-15 knockout NSCs cultured in differentiating conditions (2% FBS; poly-l-lysine) for 4, 7, or 10 d. (B) Immunocytochemical analysis of the cellular proportions during differentiation of NSCs of WT or IL-15 KO cells. Cells were cultured in differentiating medium (2% FBS; poly-l-lysine) for 4, 7, or 10 d and analyzed for the percent of neurons (βIII tubulin+; black bars), astrocytes (GFAP+; white bars), or oligodendrocytes (O4+; gray bars), expressing data as mean ± SEM of positive cells. Statistical differences of WT vs. IL-15−/−: *p < 0.05. Data were analyzed with an ANOVA and a post hoc Tukey test.
