Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3 | Transition of GFAP:tdTomato+ cells into new neurons results in no depletion in the total GFAP cell number. a, Images of newly induced neurons (iNeurons) expressing NeuN (green) and tdTomato (red) (NeuN visualized by IF and tdTomato by direct fluorescence); blue, DAPI staining for DNA; white, GFAP visualized by IF; the experiment was reproduced four times, independently, with similar results. b, Total number of tdTomato+NeuN− cells (left) or tdTomato+NeuN+ cells (right), either with or without GFAP labeling, per dentate gyrus, 2 months after ICV injection of PTB-ASO. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. (left: tdTomato/NeuN: 176.8 ± 34.92; tdTomato/NeuN/GFAP mean: 167 ± 34.32; right: tdTomato/NeuN mean: 28.88 ± 4.87; tdTomato/NeuN/GFAP mean: 0.87 ± 0.12; n = 4 biological repeats; two-tailed t-test **P = 0.0012). c, Representative images of human organoids 1 month after PTB-ASO or control-ASO application in the growth media GFAP (green) and Nestin (red) (both visualized by IF); blue, DAPI staining for DNA; the experiment was reproduced three times, independently, with similar results. d, Representative images of a dentate gyrus taken 2 months after ICV injection of control or PTB-ASO2 into 3-month-old and 1-year-old mice; white, GFAP visualized by IF; the experiment was reproduced three times for control and aged mice and four times for 5-month-old mice, independently, with similar results. e, Total GFAP-positive cells per dentate gyrus area of 5-month- and 1.2-year-old PTB-ASO- or control-injected mice. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. (control mean: 1,074 ± 83.55; 5 months PTB-ASO mean: 1,006 ± 82.45; 1.2 year-old PTB-ASO mean: 1,214 ± 104.8; n = 3, n = 4, n = 3 biological repeats).
