Exposure to ephrin-A5 increases surface enriched Neogenin protein levels and netrin-1 binding to LMC growth cones. Examples of surface-enriched Neogenin in MN media (a) or ephrin-A5 50 ng/mL (b) treated LMC growth cones. (c) Quantification of surface enriched Neogenin IF in LMC growth cones treated with either MN media or ephrin-A5 50 ng/mL for 20′, ephrin-A5 increases surface enriched Neogenin IF 1.6 ± 0.2-fold, p = 0.037. (d,e) Examples of netrin-1 IF in LMC growth cones treated with either netrin-1 (d) or a combination of netrin-1 and ephrin-A5 (100 ng/mL). (f) Quantification of netrin-1 IF in growth cones treated with netrin-1 or netrin-1 + ephrin-A5, addition of ephrin-A5 results in a 1.5 ± 0.1-fold increase in netrin-1 IF (p = 0.0003). (d) Graph depicting the distribution of netrin-1 IF in growth cones of explants treated with either MN media, ephrin-A5, netrin-1 or netrin-1 + ephrin-A5. Bin #1 coincides with the geometric centre of the growth cone and Bin# 99 coincides with the perimeter of the growth cone. Data are shown as mean ± SEM, statistical significance was tested using a two-tailed unpaired sample t-test. (c) N = 4 (f,g) MN media: N = 3; netrin-1: N = 6; ephrin-A5: N = 6; netrin-1 + ephrin-A5: N = 6.
