Decreased phosphorylation of radixin in the RMS after DX52-1 treatment. (A) Merged image of radixin and phosphorylated rzrin/radixin/moesin (pERM) immunoreactivity in a coronal section of the control RMS. (B) pERM immunoreactivity in the control RMS. (C) Merged image of radixin and phosphorylated ezrin/radixin/moesin (pERM) immunoreactivity in a coronal section in the DX52-1 treated RMS. (D) pERMimmunoreactivity in the DX52-1 treated RMS. Radixin/pERM immunopositive circular structures in B and D are likely residual ependymal cells originating from the wall of the collapsed olfactory ventricle (Peretto et al., 1997). Ependymal cells are known to express high levels of ezrin which explains sustained pERM expression in this area in both control and DX52-1 treated RMS. Scale bar = 50 μm.
