Deletion of NCoR1 causes elevated thymocyte apoptosis. a Flow cytometry analysis of CD69 expression on sorted in vitro-stimulated CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes from NCoR1-deficient (cKO) and wild-type (WT) mice (n = 3). b The mean fluorescence intensity of CD69 expression in (a). c Intracellular levels of the active caspase-3 (Act.Casp.3) detected by flow cytometry in cKO and WT thymocytes after in vitro TCR stimulation for indicated amounts of time (n = 3 for each group). d, e Intracellular levels of the active caspase-3 (Act.Casp.3) detected by flow cytometry in freshly isolated thymocytes (n = 4 to 5). f TUNEL staining of the thymus sections of cKO and WT mice (n = 10). The scale bars indicate 100 μm. g Quantification of the apoptotic cells in (f). The data are representative of two independent experiments (ae). Statistical significance was analyzed using the two-tailed Student’s t test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001)
