LMNB1 overexpression increases the proportion of NSC differentiation into neurons. NSCs from C57BL6/J embryos were transfected with pEGFP or pLMNB1-EGFP and differentiated for 2, 4 or 6 days. (AD) Fluorescence images of immunoreactivity for βIII-tubulin (A,B; red), GFAP (C,D; red) and EGFP (AD; green) in NSCs differentiated for 4 days. Nuclei are counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars: 50 µm. (E) Quantitative analysis of differentiated cells. Data represent the percentage of neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes co-expressing EGFP out of the total number of EGFP+ cells. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs pEGFP transfected cells at the respective differentiation time, Student’s t-test. Approximately 400 EGFP+ cells were quantified for each staining condition in 3 independent experiments. (F) Quantitative analysis of NSC pyknotic nuclei. 150 cells per condition were counted. In all graphs, bars represent the average ± SEM from 3 independent experiments.
