Igf1r heterozygosity causes a further reduction in brain size in Irs2-/- mice. a, Brain size of 6-week-old wild-type (wt), Igf1r+/-, Irs2+/-, Irs2+/-Igf1r+/-, Irs2-/-, and Igf1r+/-::Irs2-/- mice. b, Brain-body ratio (%) of 6-week-old mice of the different genotypes. c, BrdUincorporation in cerebella granule cells at P6 (48 hr survival) from wild type, Irs2-/-, or Irs2-/-Igf1r+/-. Cell counts and average cell size were calculated with NIH ImageJ. d, Apoptosis in the cerebella granule cells from Igf1r+/-, Irs2+/-Igf1r+/-, and Irs2-/-Igf1r+/- mice (P5). Granule cells were cultured for 4 d and then incubated for an additional 24 hr in serum-free medium containing 5 mm KCl,5mm KCl plus 10 nm IGF1,5 mm KCl plus 50 ng/ml BDNF. pvalues were calculated using Sigmaplot (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) version 8.1.
