DA1-PN dendritic Eph recognizes adjacent PN Ephrin as a ligand. (A) Drawings showing the hypothesis that DA1 PN dendrites recognize Ephrin on the dendrites of adjacent glomeruli to stay in DA1. The behavior of wild-type DA1 PN dendrites was analyzed when ephrin was knocked down in surrounding ad-PNs such as VA1d PNs. (BE) Wild-type DA1 l-PNs and VA1d ad-PNs were labeled by mtdTomato-HA and mCD8-GFP, respectively. n = 7. The proper dendritic boundary was formed between DA1 l-PNs stained with anti-HA antibody (C) and VA1d ad-PNs stained with anti-GFP antibody (D). (FI) Wild-type DA1 l-PNs and ephrin-shRNA-expressing VA1d ad-PNs were labeled simultaneously. n = 7. (G) Wild-type DA1 l-PNs spilled over to the adjacent glomeruli such as the VA1d glomerulus in 100% penetrance (arrow; seven out of seven). (H) ephrin-shRNA expression in VA1d ad-PNs cell-autonomously caused dendritic spillover into DA1 (arrowhead). Blue represents DN-cadherin staining. Bar, 25 µm.
