Figure Lengend Snippet: Genetic elimination of Trpm4 does not alter the temperature-dependent microglia movement. A. Trajectories of primary microglia from a representative preparation of WT and TRPM4KO mice recorded for 2 h at 33 °C, 37 °C, and 40 °C. Paths are arranged to show origins at x (horizontal axis) = y (vertical axis) = 0. Each line indicates the trajectory of a single cell. n indicates the number of cells analyzed per preparation. B. The average distances of migrating microglia isolated from WT or TRPM4KO mice exposed to 33 °C (WT, n = 117; TRPM4KO, n = 151), 37 °C (WT, n = 235; TRPM4KO, n = 240), or 40 °C (WT, n = 150; TRPM4KO, n = 175) were measured. Open circles indicate the migration distance of each microglia over 2 h. Horizontal lines indicate means ± SEM. At 33 °C, 37 °C, and 40 °C, WT microglia moved 112.94 ± 6.1 μm, 175.28 ± 5.24 μm, and 204.31 ± 7.27 μm, respectively, whereas TRPM4KO microglia moved 113.46 ± 5.1 μm, 175.28 ± 4.13 μm, and 201.35 ± 5.61 μm, respectively. **P < 0.01 (two-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons).
Article Snippet: After transferring the proteins to a nitrocellulose membrane, the membrane was blocked for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated with anti-TRPM4 antibody (1:300, ACC044, Alomone) overnight at 4 °C.
