Figure Lengend Snippet: Patient characteristics and clinical findings in USP6::MYH9 fusion cases

Article Snippet: Thin histological sections (3 μm thick) were used, and each sample was stained using the following antibodies and protocols: anti-smooth muscle actin (SMA) mouse monoclonal antibodies (clone 1A4, BioSB— Bioscience for the World, dilution 1:75; pretreatment: heating up to 99°C in a pH 6 buffer in a water bath); anti-H-caldesmon mouse monoclonal antibodies (clone BSB-19|, BioSB, dilution 1:100; pretreatment: heating up to 99°C in a pH 9 buffer in a water bath); anti-desmin mouse monoclonal antibodies (clone D33, BioSB, dilution 1:100; pretreatment: heating up to 99°C in a pH 9 buffer in a water bath); anti-S100-β rabbit monoclonal antibodies (clone EP32, BioSB, dilution 1:300; pre-treatment: heating up to 99 ◦C in a pH 9 buffer in a water bath); anti-Ki-67 mouse monoclonal antibodies (clone MIB-1, BioSB, dilution 1:150; pretreatment: heating up to 99°C in a pH 6 buffer in a water bath).

Article Title: Expression of MYCN in Multipotent Sympathoadrenal Progenitors Induces Proliferation and Neural Differentiation, but Is Not Sufficient for Tumorigenesis

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0133897

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Spheres grown from postnatal mouse adrenal glands cells express markers of neural crest stem cells (NCSCs), sympathoadrenal progenitors (SAPs), and sympathetic neurons (SNs). mRNA levels were analyzed by qRT-PCR and are shown in relation to TATA-Box binding protein-1 (TBP1). Expression data from postnatal mouse superior cervical ganglia (SCG) are included for comparison. Data are the mean values from four experiments run in triplicate. *p<0.05,**p<0.01,***p<0.001,****p < .0001, unpaired Student’s t-test. (B) The majority of sphere cells show nuclear SOX10 reactivity by immunoperoxidase labeling. Cytoplasmic nestin expression with linear morphology was observed by immunofluorescence microscopy in spheres. TH expression was prominent at the periphery of spheres. Representative images from 3 independent experiments. Scale bars equal 20 microns. (C) Sphere differentiation was induced by transfer to poly-d-lysine and fibronectin-coated plates in medium with low CEE content. Immunofluorescent images show the three cell types observed in differentiated spheres: TuJ1/TH-reactive neurons, SMA-reactive myofibroblasts, and S100-reactive Schwann cells. Scale bars 50 μM upper left panel and 25 μM all other panels. (D) A shift in differentiation potential was observed from primary spheres, grown directly from adrenal gland cells by differential plating, to secondary spheres, the products of dissociated primary spheres. Differentiated secondary spheres showed a reduced frequency of bipotent and neuron-containing colonies, and were more likely to show myofibroblast-only colonies (primary spheres n = 3, secondary spheres n = 4). Primary and secondary spheres were grown at clonal density.

Article Snippet: Primary antibodies used to assess differentiation by immunocytochemistry included those against neuronal class III β-tubulin (TUJ1)(Covance, MMS-435P, 1:400), S100 (Immunostar, 22520, 1:1), smooth muscle actin (Sigma, A5228, 1:200), and tyrosine hydroxylase (Millipore, AB152, 1:400) following block/permeabilization with 10% goat serum and 0.1% Triton X-100.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Histology of adult zebrafish brain from control and experimental groups. The untreated adult zebrafish brain shows intact structural morphology and cellular morphology. The 4 layers of the optic tectum: (I) superficial gray-white zone, (II) central zone, (III) deep white zone, and (IV) periventricular gray zone (PGZ). The lateral torus (TLa) is homogenous, diffusively arranged, with no apparent divisions or inflammation. The brain section has undamaged cellular morphology which represents non-existent inflammation. Rows show IHC staining for anti-GFAP, anti-PCNA, and anti-S100. First row shows hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Scale bar: 50 μm. Rows show IHC staining for anti-GFAP, anti-PCNA and anti-S100. First row shows hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Scale bar: 50 μm. Arrowheads indicate immunopositive cells. Symbols: *—edema area (green); *—neuronal rarefaction (black).
