Figure 7. OPC-specific deletion of Gpr56 leads to fewer mature oligodendrocytes.

Figure 7

(a) Schematic drawing of targeting strategy. Exons 4, 5 and 6 were flanked with two loxP sites. (b) PCR genotyping revealed Gpr56fl/fl, Gpr56+/+ and Gpr56fl/+ alleles. (c) Western blot analysis shows absence of GPR56 protein in Gpr56fl/fl;EIIA-Cre+/−. (d) ISH of Plp (red) in the CC of P21 Gpr56fl/fl;Pdgfrα-Cre+/− mice (lower panel) and Gpr56fl/+;Pdgfrα-Cre−/− controls (upper panel) that received tamoxifen for five consecutive days during P10-P14. Scale bar, 100μm. (e) Quantification of Plp+ mature OLs. The asterisks represent significance based on unpaired t-test. P=0.0177; unpaired t-test, n=4 per genotype. Error bars are means ±s.e.m.
