Figure 3. Arrb2 deficiency increases synaptic GluN2B in SDH neurons.

Figure 3

(a,b) Expression of GluN2A and GluN2B in synaptosome-containing P2 fraction of spinal cord dorsal horn (SDH) of WT and Arrb2-KO mice. (a) Enrichment of synaptic proteins PSD-95 and synaptophysin (SYN) in synaptosome-contacting P2 fraction but not cytosol fraction. (b) Quantification of GluN2A and GluN2B expression. *P<0.05, Student t-test, n=4 mice per group. (c) Surface expression of GluN2B and Arrb2 in HeLa cells transfected with GluN1/GluN2B and GluN1/GluN2B/Arrb2. (d) Relative expression levels of GluN2B and Arrb2, normalized with N-cadherin, a positive control for surface expression. *P<0.05, Student’s t-test, n=3 cultures per group. (e) Pull down assay showing Co-IP of Arrb2 with GluN2B in HeLa cells. All the data are mean±s.e.m. Gel images have been cropped for presentation. Full size images are presented in Supplementary Fig. 8a.
