Pan-metalloproteinase inhibitors do not affect adhesion or cell death of DRG neurons. (a) A TUNEL assay was performed in embryonic DRG neurons (E18-19) seeded on a PLL substrate and treated with a vehicle control (DMSO), metalloproteinase inhibitors (BB-94 and GM6001) or GM-I. Neurons were stained with anti-βIII tubulin, Hoechst and TUNEL. As a positive control for the TUNEL assay, neurons were pretreated with a DNA nuclease. (b,c) Total number of apoptotic neurons (b) and total neurons (c) present after indicated treatments. For TUNEL, the data are shown as a percentage of TUNEL-positive neurons. For total number of neurons, data have been normalized to control DMSO. N = 4 from independent cultures. Data are shown as mean + S.E.M. Scale bar, 100 μm.
