MAP2 protein accumulated within spheroids. (A and B) The cerebellar sections of Elavl3+/+ and Elavl3−/− mice at 6 months of age were immunostained with anti-MAP2 and calbindin antibodies. Confocal microscopic analysis showed that spheroids in the granule cell layer (A) and swollen axonal terminals in the cerebellar nuclei (B) were stained with MAP2. Boxed regions in (A) and (B) are enlarged as orthogonal projections in bottom and right panels, respectively. Somata of cerebellar nuclei neurons in (B) are demarcated by a white line. Scale bars: A, 10 μm; B, 5 μm. (C) Ultrastructures of cerebellar nuclei of 5-months-old Elavl3−/− mice were analyzed via transmission electron microscopy. A cerebellar nuclei neuron is pseudo-colored yellow and abnormal structures are pseudo-colored red. Boxed regions are enlarged in right panels. Scale bar, 1 μm.
