Identification of Olfml3 as a transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1)-regulated gene. (A) Scheme illustrating the process of mRNA isolation from adult microglia of Cx3cr1CreERT2:Tgfbr2fl/fl transgenic mutant mice. (B) Expression of Olfml3 in adult wild-type (+/+TAM) and Tgfbr2 mutant microglia (Cre/+TAM). Immunohistochemistry to monitor expression of Olfml3 in cortical microglia of wild-type (+/+TAM) (C) and Tgfbr2-deficient (Cre/+TAM) mice (D). Scale bars indicate 10 µm. (E) Scheme summarizing TAM-induced recombination and isolation of postnatal microglia in vitro isolated from P0/P1 mice. (F) Significantly decreased expression of Olfml3 in Tgfbr2-deficient (Cre/+TAM) postnatal microglia recombined in vitro. Data are presented as mean ± SEM from at least three independent experiments (B,F). P-value derived from one-way ANOVA is **P < 0.01.
