Article Title: FOXR1 regulates stress response pathways and is necessary for proper brain development

doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1009854

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative schematic view of the CRISPR/Cas9 targeting strategy used for generating Foxr1 knockout mice. The Foxr1 locus consists of 5 exons (colored boxes), and introns (black lines). Two gRNAs (red lines), one upstream located in intron 1 and one downstream located within exon 4 were used to target the Foxr1 gene and remove 976 nucleotides encompassing exons 2, 3 and part of exon 4 (blue box). Primers are represented by black half arrowheads to indicate the relative locations of forward (primer 1) and reverse genotyping primers (primers 2 and 3). (B) Representative PCR genotyping result for primer set 1 and 2 (indicated in panel A) to detect Foxr1 wild-type allele (354 bp). Below is a representative PCR genotyping result for primer set 1 and 3 to detect Foxr1 wild-type (1381 bp), heterozygous (1381 for wild-type and 403 bp for knockout), and knockout alleles (403 bp). (C) RT-PCR of Foxr1 (175 bp) and 18S ribosomal transcripts (129 bp) from brains of wild-type and Foxr1 knockout mice. (D) Genotype analysis of number of offspring obtained from Foxr1 heterozygous crossings at postnatal day 21 (P21). (E) Genotype analysis of number of newborn offspring obtained from Foxr1 heterozygous crossings at postnatal day 0 (P0). (F) Lateral view of wild-type and Foxr1 knockout neonates showing a decrease in size in the Foxr1 knockout mutant. (G) Body weight measurements (in grams) for Foxr1 wild-type (n = 53), heterozygous (n = 120) and knockout mice (n = 12) at postnatal day 0 showing a decrease in Foxr1 knockout mice. One-way ANOVA Tukey’s multiple comparisons (*** p < 0.001). (H) Nissl stain brain sections of Foxr1 wild-type (+/+), heterozygous (+/-) and knockout (-/-) mice. Top panel shows coronal sections anterior to bregma. Dashed lines represent cortical measurements at 0°, 45° and 90° (relative to the midline) to pia surface. White box indicates higher magnification for the bottom panels. Scale bar = 500 μm. Bottom panels represents higher magnification of the cortex where the vertical line indicates cortical thickness measurements. Side bars demarcates the different cortical layers. Scale bar = 125 μm. (I) MAP2 immunostaining of brain sections of Foxr1 wild-type and knockout mice. Top panel shows coronal sections anterior to bregma. White box indicates higher magnification for the bottom panels. Scale bar = 500 μm. Bottom panels represents higher magnification of the cortex where the vertical line indicates cortical thickness measurements. Scale bar = 125 μm. (J-L) Quantification of cortical thickness from pooled brain sections of 4 wild-type, 4 heterozygous and 4 Foxr1 knockout mice at 0°, 45° and 90° (relative to the midline) to pia surface, respectively.

Figure Lengend Snippet: hCPs seeded on silicon micropillar arrays preserve their cortical regional identity and upon exposure to differentiative conditions, generate cortical glutamatergic neurons.

( B ) hCPs cultured for 5 days on 3D silicon devices and then exposed for 35 days to differentiative conditions maturate into cortical glutamatergic neurons. Left: cultures stained for the pan-neuronal neuronal marker β3-TUBULIN (red). Nuclei are stained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar: 10 μm.
