Figure 8.
Early (days 1–2 of differentiation) transfection with miR-210 mimic decreases Dcx+ cell density. A, B, NSC cultures transfected with miR-210 mimic demonstrated comparable total cell densities, but decreased Dcx+ cell numbers compared with negative control-transfected cultures on days 4–5 of differentiation (nuclei are labeled with DAPI in blue; Dcx+ cells are green). C, Quantification of total and Dcx+ cell numbers. The data show three independent experiments with at least three samples per condition in each experiment. #p < 0.05 compared with control. Scale bars, 50 μm.
