Figure Caption

Fig. 5 Knockdown of Nr4a2 results in the increase of nr4a2b⁺ cells and the inhibition of DA neuron differentiation. (A and B) In the embryos injected with nr4a2^mo, the number of nr4a2b⁺ cells (black) is increased while the number of TH⁺ neurons is decreased (red) (white arrows). (C) Bar scale to show that the number of nr4a2b⁺ cells (red) in nr4a2^mo is increased by 57.5% (p = 0.0172) compared to 5-mm injected embryos. (D) BrdU incorporation and TUNEL assay to show that there is no obvious cell proliferation or apoptosis in the PT area. White rectangles show the position of the PT area between two eyeballs as the dashed lines show.
