CDK5 acetylation hinders neurite outgrowth in hippocampal neurons. (a) Hippocampal neurons at DIV3 were transfected with a DsRed-expressing vector containing CDK5 WT or its K33Q mutant (CDK5 KQ) for 48 hrs and subjected to immunofluorescent staining for β-III-tubulin. Fluorescent images were obtained with an LSM700 confocal microscope. The scale bar represents 50 μm. Confocal fluorescent images of (b) total neurite length, (c) the longest neurite length, (d) soma size and (e) the number of primary neurites were analyzed using Image-J software. The bars represent the mean ± S.D. of 35–40 neurons from at least 5 randomly selected areas. ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant.
