Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Schematic illustration for identification of Creld1-interacting protein in DRGs by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. b , Representative Na v currents in DRG neurons from control and sgCreld1 mice. c , Representative Na v currents recorded in DRG neurons derived from WT and cKO mice. d , Scatterplot of normalized mRNA levels of the indicated Na v isoforms expressed in WT and cKO DRGs. e , Immunofluorescent staining of either Na v 1.7 and TUBB3 from the indicated DRG sections. Scale bar, 20 μm. f , Total density of Na v 1.7 expression of DRG neurons from WT (389 cells) and cKO (252 cells). g , Immunofluorescent staining of endogenous Creld1 and Na v 1.7 in DRG neurons after 36 h in culture using the anti-Creld1, anti-Na v 1.7 and anti-TUBB3 antibody. Scale bars, 100 μm (top); 5 μm (bottom). h , Pearson’s co-localization efficiency analysis for Na v 1.7 and Creld1 located in DRG neurons after 36 h in culture. The white circle illustrates the region of interest (ROI) used for analyzing the immunofluorescence staining of Na v 1.7 and Creld1. Each dot represents an individual cell (17 cells in total).
