Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Isolated TNCCs plated on Boyden inserts in the presence of different molecular gradients. Data is internally normalized to control. All gradients tested except NGF were significantly different than control (p<0.05 by paired t-test; n=circles on graph/experimental dates). GDNF, glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor. Red line, 100% of control. (B) Isolated TNCC plated on FN slides were filmed with or without 200ng/ml of NRG1. Total migrated distance and Euclidean distance were normalized showing increased migration after NRG1 treatment (p<0.07 and p<0.02 respectively. N=3 experiments, N of cells =86). (C) Velocity of cells in B was measured, with NRG1 treated cells moving twice as fast as control cells (p<0.017). (D–I) NT explants cultured in Boyden chambers with an NRG1β gradient (−/+), no NRG1β (−/−), or homogenous NRG1β (+/+). (D–G) Representative HNK1 staining of chemotaxis filters showing a higher percent TNCCs on the bottom side in −/+ versus −/− chambers. Top of filter in focus (D,E); bottom in focus (F,G). Bar, 25 μm. (H) Percent HNK1-positive and percent HNK1-negative transmigrated cells. n=7 experimental dates (>33 NT explants per treatment). p<0.0001 for HNK1-positive −/− versus −/+ treatments, 1-tailed Dunnett’s. (I) Combined TNCC density from top and bottom sample areas. All t-tests described: no multiple testing adjustments made. Bar graphs show means +/− SEM.
