Figure 3. Sema3F co-regulates OSN projection and MC migration in the MOB.

Figure 3

(a) Targeting of OSN axons and MC migration in the Nrp2 KOs. Parasagittal MOB sections at P0 were analysed by immunohistochemistry (upper panel). In the KOs, a coding sequence of the Nrp2 has been deleted and replaced with that of GFP. Thus, OSNs that are supposed to express Nrp2 can be detected with anti-GFP antibodies. Parasagittal sections at E18 were also analysed by in situ hybridization using the GFP and Nrp2 probes (lower panel). Dotted lines in the enlarged photos indicate the boundary of the GL and MCL. n=7, 10, 6 and 8 for the control, total KO, OSN-specific cKO and MC-specific cKO, respectively. (b) Targeting of OSN axons and MC migration in the Sema3F KOs. Parasagittal MOB sections at P0 were immunostained with anti-Nrp2 antibodies (upper panel). In the Sema3F total KO and OSN-specific Sema3F conditional KO (OSN cKO), Nrp2+ OSNs are defasciculated and mistargeted to the dorsal MOB. Dotted lines in the enlarged photos indicate the boundary of the GL and MCL. Parasagittal MOB sections at E18 were also analysed by in situ hybridization with the Nrp2 probe (lower panel). n=7, 9 and 6 for the control, total KO and OSN-specific cKO, respectively. Scale bar, 200 μm. D, dorsal; V, ventral; A, anterior; P, posterior.
