Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Region-specific restoration of hippocampal PTPRO ameliorates DOX-induced CRCI in Ptpro–/– female mice. (A) Schematic of the experimental design. (B) Representative immunofluorescence image of FLAG (green) in the hippocampi of Ptpro–/– mice 2 weeks after injection of Lentivirus-hSyn-Pt- pro-3×Flag into the CA3 region. Scale bar: 200 μm. DG, dentate gyrus. (C) Changes in spontaneous alternation behavior in the Y-maze test. (D) Represen- tative swimming traces in the MWM test. (E and F) Training trials were performed in the MWM test, in which the time taken to reach the submerged plat- form (E) and the distances traveled before reaching the submerged platform (F) were assesssed, n = 10 per group. (G and H) A probe trial was performed in the MWM test. Shown are the time spent in the target quadrant (G) and the number of crossings before reaching the target location (H), n = 10 per group. (I) Immunoblotting of PTPRO, p-SRC, SRC, p-EPHA4, and EPHA4 in the mouse hippocampal CA3 region. Data are representative of 3 independent exper- iments. Error bars: SEM. NS, not significant; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 by 2-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey-Kramer post hoc test (C, G, and H). *Ptpro+/+-LVCon vs. Ptpro–/–-LVCon; #Ptpro–/–-LVCon vs. Ptpro–/–-LVPtpro; *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001; #P < 0.05 by 3-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey-Kramer post hoc test (E and F). All values and statistical analysis of behavioral experiments are provided in Supplemental Table 4.
