Rap1B acts downstream of Sema3A in hippocampal neurons. (a) Hippocampal neurons from E18 rat embryos were transfected with vectors for GFP (green), an shRNA against Sema3A (S3A RNAi) or pcDNA6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR (control) and an shRNA against Rap1B (R1B RNAi) or pSHAG-1 (control) as indicated. Neurons were analyzed at 3 d.i.v. by staining with an anti-MAP2 (red, dendrites) and the Tau-1 antibody (blue, axon). Representative images of transfected neurons are shown. The scale bar is 25 μm. (b) The percentage of unpolarized neurons without an axon (0, red), polarized neurons with a single axon (1, blue) and neurons with multiple axons (>1, green) is shown (Student’s t-test and two-way ANOVA; n = 3, independent experiments with >150 neurons per experiment for; values are means ± s.e.m, ***p < 0.001 compared to control as indicated).
