Figure Lengend Snippet: SH-SY5Y and U138 MG cell differentiation into neuron-like (NLCs) and astrocyte-like cells (ALCs). (A, B) Representative immunofluorescence images of β3-tubulin (in yellow) and Nestin (in green) for undifferentiated SH-SY5Y cells (Ctrl) and NLCs differentiated on plastic (Diff.) or on Geltrex (Diff. on Geltrex). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). (C, D) Quantification of the fluorescence intensity for β3-tubulin and Nestin normalized to DAPI signals. (E) Relative mRNA expression levels of the proneural transcription factors Mash1 , Nurr1 , and NeuroD1 in undifferentiated and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells. (F) Representative S100B (in red) immunofluorescence images for undifferentiated U138 MG cells or ALCs differentiated on plastic (Diff.) or on Geltrex (Diff. on Geltrex). (G, H) Quantification of the U138 MG proliferating fractions in differentiated and control conditions measuring the EdU-incorporating cells. (I) Quantification of the S100B fluorescence intensity normalized to DAPI signals. Data are shown as mean ± SD from a minimum of three independent replicates (n ≥ 3). Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. *p< 0.03; **p< 0.02; ***p< 0.0002; ****p< 0.0001. Scale bar: 100μm. FI, Fluorescence intensity; Mash1, Mammalian achaete-scute homolog 1; NeuroD1, Neuronal differentiation 1; Nurr1, Nuclear receptor related 1 protein.
