Effects of LCN2 on radial glia processes in zebrafish

	Control group	Lcn2 RNA injection group
Thickness of process	0.32 ± 0.02	0.32 ± 0.02*
Length of process	3.42 ± 0.09	3.65 ± 0.09
Number of process	23.20 ± 0.48	34.60 ± 1.21**

The relative thickness, length, and number of processes of zebrafish radial glia cells were quantified as follows: the five longest or thickest cellular processes for each section were measured. The total number of processes was also counted for each section. Seven zebrafish sections for each treatment were quantified. The results were normalized to the diameter of the spinal cord [(vertical diameter + horizontal diameter)/2)] and presneted as mean ± SEM (n = 7). *p < 0.01, **p < 0.001, compared with control group.
