Figure Lengend Snippet: A, diagram showing the main steps of the Cornish pasty culture technique. B-C, immunostaining for Snail2 on cryosections of embryos treated with DMSO (B) or MMP14 inhibitor NSC405020 at 0.5mM (C). D, plot showing the size of the Snail2-positive region normalized to DMSO in the dorsal neural tube (DMSO: n embryos =4, n sections =8; NSC: n embryos =7, n sections =7, from one experiment). Error bars show the standard deviation. E, distance of migration from the dorsal midline (DMSO: n embryos =11, n sections =11; NSC: n embryos =11, n sections =11, from two experiments). Error bars represent the standard deviation. ANOVA, followed by multiple comparisons; **, p value <0.01. F, in situ hybridization using a mix of probes against Foxd3 and Sox10 to stain the cephalic NC cells after electroporation of control scrambled siRNA (first column, n=28 embryos from 7 experiments), siRNA-MMP14 alone (second column, n=46 embryos from 11 experiments), siRNA-MMP14 and full length MMP14 (third column, n=17 embryos from 6 experiments), siRNA-MMP14 and the delta-catalytic form (fourth column, n=11 embryos from 3 experiments), siRNA-MMP14 and the inactive point mutant (fifth column, n=14 embryos from 2 experiments), siRNA-MMP14 and the delta-cytoplasmic form (sixth column, n=11 embryos from 3 experiments). Dotted lines indicate the level of the sections shown below each whole mount. G, plot of the area occupied by Foxd3/Sox10-positive NC cells above the post-otic neural tube from whole mount images. ANOVA with Kruskal-Wallis multiple comparisons, ***p<0.0005. H, immunostaining against Snail2 after electroporation of scrambled siRNA, siRNA-MMP14 and co-electroporation with siRNA-MMP14 and full length MMP14. Scrambled and siRNA are in green (GFP), MMP14-FL-mCherry is in magenta. I, plot of the NC area (Snail2) with scrambled (n embryos =11, n sections =132), siRNA-MMP14 (n embryos =24, n sections =303) and siRNA-MMP14 and full length MMP14 (n embryos =3, n sections =15), ANOVA with Kruskal-Wallis multiple comparisons, ****p<0.0001. J-K, neural tube explants cultured on fibronectin coated dishes counterstained with SiR-DNA. Cells electroporated with scrambled siRNA or SiRNA-MMP14 are GFP-positive. L, ratio of GFP-positive cells over the total number of cells counted from SiR-DNA staining, n scrambled =7 explants, n siRNA MMP14 =9 explants from 4 independent experiments. Unpaired t-test with Welsh’s correction, p=0.1186.
