Figure Lengend Snippet: Fluorescence in situ hybridization confirms upregulation of Sox11, Dpysl3, and Dpysl5 in Sox11-treated animals. ( a ) Experimental design involving retrograde transduction of CST neurons with nuclear-localized AAV2-Retro-H2B-mGreenlantern (H2B-mGl) alone or in combination with AAV2-Retro-Sox11, followed 2 weeks later by in situ hybridization to detect candidate genes. ( b – g ) Coronal sections of cortex with CST nuclei labeled by H2B-mGl (green) and in situ hybridization detection of Sox11 ( b , c ), Dpysl3 ( d , e ), and Dpysl5 ( f , g ) in red. Panels ( b , d , f ) show control tissue and ( c , e , g ) show Sox11-overexpressing samples with elevated target expression (arrows). ( h – j ) Quantification of average signal intensity in CST nuclei shows significant increases in Sox11 ( h ), Dpysl3 ( i ), and Dpysl5 ( j ). N > 50 neurons from three replicate animals, **** p < 0.0001, unpaired t-test.
