AIF3 induced neurodegeneration of Purkinje cells in cerebellum. a Expression of CamKIIα-iCre in Purkinje cells indicated by td-Tomato. CamKIIα-iCre mouse was crossed with a Cre reporter Td-Ai14 mouse. The expression of iCre was indicated by td-Tomato and Purkinje cells indicated by Calbindin in 6-month-old mouse. Top panel: overview; Bottom panel: magnification of the box region. Scale bar: 200 μM. b Calbindin immunostaining in 3-month-old AIF3 splicing mice (AIFfl/Y/CamKIIα-iCre+) and littermate control AIF mice (AIFfl/Y/CamKIIα-iCre-). The arrows indicate calbindin-positive Purkinje cells. Scale bar, 200 μm. Representative images are from at least three independent experiments. c Quantification of the relative Purkinje neuron number per field in the cerebellum of AIF and AIF3 splicing mice. Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M. and analyzed for statistical significance by Student t test. n = 5. ****p < 0.0001
