Endogenous Chi3l3 expression in the adult SVZ during EAE. a Chi3l3 gene expression in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of healthy control mice (HC; n = 8), preclinical EAE (6 days post immunization (dpi; n = 6), EAE onset (13dpi; n = 6), acute EAE (14 dpi; n = 6), initial recovery (18 dpi; n = 8) and chronic EAE (36 dpi, n = 6) measured by qRT-PCR (multiple t -tests with Dunn–Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test). be Confocal images of the SVZ of representative healthy controls (HC), acute EAE mice (12–14 dpi). Sections were immunostained for the nuclear marker TO-PRO-3 (blue), Chi3l3 (red) and the microglia/macrophage marker CD11b (green, be) and the lymphocyte common antigen CD45 (blue, d). Chi3l3 expression in the SVZ was only detected during acute EAE and was localized to CD11b-positive cells (yellow arrowheads) within the corpus callosum (CC) c and lesions d, where they co-expressed CD45 at high (yellow arrowhead) and low levels (white arrowhead). Dashed lines mark the wall of the lateral ventricle (LV). Scale bar, 200 μm. e Ortho-view images of representative Chi3l3+/CD11b+ double-positive cells exhibiting round (upper panel) and ramified (lower panel) morphology.
