(A,B) qRT-PCR determination of the intron-containing (unspliced) Chat, Chodl, Myh9 and Myh14 pre-mRNAs reveals a significant increase of the relative abundance of their unspliced pre-mRNAs in the spinal cords of SMN∆7 mice compared with WT mice at P14 (B). p values from WT and SMN∆7 data comparison at P14: 2.1E-3 for Chat, 3,5E-4 for Chodl, 6.3E-4 for Myh9 and 2.2E-4 for Myh14 (**p < 0.005; ***p < 0.0005). (A) During the late presymptomatic stage (P5), this increase was only detected in Chodl and Myh9 pre-mRNAs. p value from WT and SMN∆7 data comparison at P5: 2,1E-3 for Chodl and 3,5E-4 for Myh9 (**p < 0.005; ***p < 0.0005). No significant changes (n.s) in unspliced Actb pre-mRNAs were detected when samples from WT and SMN∆7 mice were compared at either P5 or P14. The bars represent the mean ± SD of the relative fraction of the total RNA transcript that is unspliced pre-mRNA from WT (n = 3) and SMN∆7 mice (n = 5). qRT-PCR analyses were always confirmed in triplicate.
