At E10.5, the development of the olfactory epithelium is not dependent on N-myc. (A) The expression of N-myc is completely missing in the olfactory epithelium of E10.5 N-myc mutants, whereas the generation of Hes5+ stem-like progenitors and Ngn1+ neuronal precursors are not different between both genotypes. The generation of Lhx2+, HuC/D+, and Tuj1+ post-mitotic neurons are not different between mutants and controls. The onset of Lhx2 expression is indicated in the insets. (B,C) N-myc deficiency did not alter the number of HuC/D+ post-mitotic neurons (B) or proliferation, indicated by pHH3+ staining (C). Statistical analysis of the cell counts in comparison to the total cell number in E10.5 control embryos (n = 5) and N-myc−/− animals (n = 4) (HuC/D p = 0.5296, pHH3 p = 0.9104). Error bars represent ±SEM, Student's t test. Scale bars: 100 µm.
