Figure 6. Effects of Nkx6.1 knockdown on astrocyte differentiation.

Figure 6

A: Astrocytes were transfected with an siRNA-actin (Control) or siRNA-Nkx6.1 for 6 hours and immunostained with anti-GFAP antibody. Scale bar 100 µm. B: Realtime-PCR analysis of the mRNA levels of Nkx6.1, GFAP, Olig2 and STAT3 in astrocytes after transfection with Control or siRNA-Nkx6.1. The fluorescent output signal of each gene was measured and normalized to the corresponding control. (n = 3. *P<0.05. **P<0.01).
