Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Bar graph showing the levels of 24S,25-EC produced by CYFIP1-GoF, CYFIP1-LoF, EA8 and EA62 15q11.2del iPSC and respective control PSC-derived neural cells at d20, 30 and 40. B) Schematic illustration showing 24S,25-EC treatment time windows. C) Representative images of immunostaining for TBR1, CTIP2 and NeuN at day 25 H7 cultures treated with ethanol vehicle control, and 24S,25-EC between day15-25. D) Quantification of the immunocytochemical analysis represented in C. E-G) Cumulative EdU incorporation assay of H7 cortical progenitor cultures treated with vehicle and increasing doses with 24S,25-EC from d15. Length of S-phase (F) and total cell cycle (G) determined by Nowakowski equation for all conditions. H) Quantification of TBR1 + , CTIP2 + and NeuN + in d25 CYFIP1-GoF cultures after 10 days exposure to increasing dose of 24S,25-EC or ethanol control. The red dashed line indicates the baseline (untreated) level in the isogenic control line. Data shown are mean±s.e.m. from three biological replicates per measurement (A) or treatment (D, F-H). Groups were compared by Student t-test between the indicated genotype and respective control per time point in A and one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey correction for D, F-H (*p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars: 50 µm.
Article Snippet: For CYFIP1 overexpression (CYFIP1-GoF), human CYFIP1 open reading frame (SC100426, OriGene) was cloned into a pCAG-IRES-PAC plasmid upstream of the IRES sequence [1].
