mbd2/3(RNAi) Does not affect pASC maintenance or proliferation. (A) The distribution of pASCs assessed by Smedwi-2 expression found to be consistent between mbd2/3(RNAi) animals and their controls during homeostasis even in animals with regressed anterior regions. Smed-H2B expressing cells are also maintained in regenerating and animals undergoing normal homeostasis (B) and (C). Numbers of Smed-H2B expressing cells are not significantly different from controls in these animals (D). Numbers of mitotic cells are not significantly different from controls during regeneration or homeostasis, except at 5 days of regeneration (E) and (F). Scale bars 500 µm, accept in (C) and (D) 100 µm. ^⁎ Indicates p<0.05, determined by Student's t-test. Standard error bars are shown.
