PRMT5 is required for NPC homeostasis. (A) Number of primary neurospheres and total number of cells from cultures of E14.5 dorsal telencephalon NPCs derived from Prmt5F/F and Prmt5F/FNes embryos. Each bar represents an average of at least three experiments. (B) Number of secondary neurospheres, as in A. (C) Primary neurospheres (left panel) from Prmt5F/FNes mice infected with empty vector (EV), wild-type PRMT5 (hPRMT5), or a catalytically inactive PRMT5 mutant (hPRMT5AAA) and passaged to derive secondary and tertiary neurospheres (right panel). (D) Neurospheres derived from Prmt5F/F or Prmt5F/FNes NPCs were stained with DAPI and CC3, and the percentage of pyknotic nuclei was counted. (E) Protein levels upon treatment with OHT and subsequent PRMT5 depletion for 4 d. The antibodies used are indicated on the right of each panel. As a positive control, p53 and the DDR were induced by treating cells with 10 μM etoposide for 2 h.
