Notch pathway inhibition by miR-128-3p decreases the expression of neurocyte markers in neurogenic differentiation. (A) Immunofluorescence staining illustrates activation of the Notch pathway based on the nuclear expression of intercellular activated notch 1 (Notch intracellular domain: NICD) and Hes 5 after ATRA induction and miR-128 addition. (B) Fluorescence intensity was analyzed using ImageJ tools. (C,D) Western blot data of NICD and HES5 expression after JAG1, BMS-708163, or miR-128 overexpression treatment. Protein abundance was analyzed using ImageJ tools. P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01; ns, non-significant. (E) Neurocyte markers were tested using flow cytometry in induced AECs exposed to 708163 (an inhibitor of the Notch pathway) or Jagged 1 (activator for the Notch pathway). iAECs, induced AECs.
