FIGURE 3.
Ratios of neural and glial cells altered in HMGB2-/- SVZ cultures at day 3 of differentiation. NSPCs were cultured in eight-well chamber slides with growth factor-free media and allowed to differentiate. Chamber slides from HMGB2+/+ and HMGB2-/- NPCs stained for the immature neuronal marker Tuj1, all results represented as percentage of Tuj1+ (red) cells to all 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole+ (DAPI+) (blue)nuclei. Chamber slides from HMGB2+/+ and HMGB2-/- NPCs stained for the astrocyte marker GFAP, all results represented as percentage of GFAP+ (red) cells to all DAPI+ (blue) nuclei. n = 3 biological replicates per genotype. Sixty cells were counted per biological replicate. ∗∗GFAP p = 0.0049. Scale bar = 150 μm.
