Increased levels of Notch signalling pathway components in Usp9x −/Y neocortices. (A) Immunoblot analysis showing increased levels of Notch intracellular domain (NICD) in E12.5 and E14.5 Usp9x −/Y neocortices (n = 3). (B) Quantification of relative NICD protein levels in (A) after normalisation to β-tubulin. (C) qRT-PCR analyses showing slightly increased Hes1 and Hes5 gene expression in E12.5, E14.5 and E16.5 Usp9x −/Y neocortices (n = 3). (E) Immunoblot analysis showing increased BLBP protein levels in E12.5, E14.5 and E16.5 Usp9x −/Y neocortices (n = 3). (F) Quantification of relative BLPB protein levels in (E) after normalisation to β-tubulin. (G) Coronal sections of E12.5 Usp9x +/Y and Usp9x −/Y neocortices stained with Nestin and BLBP (n = 3). BLBP displayed higher immunoreactivity in Usp9x −/Y neocortices (c,d) No difference was observed for Nestin expression (a,b). Scale bars = 80 μm. LV- lateral ventricle, VZ- ventricular zone. *p < 0.05.
