Figure 9. Normalizing Dscam or Dyrk1a gene copy number in Ts65Dn mice does not correct the submucosal plexus hypoganglionosis.

Figure 9

(A) Map of Ts65Dn and Tc1 trisomic regions. (B–E) Submucosal plexus of adult Euploid, Dscam+/+; Ts65Dn, Dscam+/+/+; Euploid, Dscam+/–; and Ts65Dn, Dscam+/+/–; and (F–I) Euploid, Dyrk1a+/+; Ts65Dn, Dyrk1a +/+/+; Euploid, Dyrk1a +/–; and Ts65Dn, Dyrk1a +/+/– mice stained for HuC/D (red). (J and K) Quantification of neuron density from images, such as BI, indicates normalizing copy number for Dscam and Dyrk1a did not prevent distal colon hypoganglionosis (P = 0.201 Euploid, Dscam+/+ versus Ts65Dn, Dscam+/+/– and P = 0.884 Ts65Dn, Dscam+/+/+ versus Ts65Dn, Dscam+/+/–, ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test; n = 9 [Euploid, Dscam+/+], n = 7 [Ts65Dn, Dscam+/+/+], n = 6 [Euploid, Dscam+/–], and n = 6 [Ts65Dn, Dscam+/+/–]) or DYRK1A (P = 0.048 Euploid, Dyrk1a+/+ versus Ts65Dn, Dyrk1a+/+/–, and P = 0.999 Ts65Dn, Dyrk1a+/+/– versus Ts65Dn, Dyrk1a+/+/+, ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test; n = 4 [Euploid, Dyrk1a+/+], n = 3 [Ts65Dn, Dyrk1a+/+/+], n = 3 [Euploid, Dyrk1a+/–], and n = 3 [Ts65Dn, Dyrk1a+/+/–]). Scale bar: 100 μm. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
