LPC-G2A Pathway Is Required for Microglial Precursors Entering the Brain, related to Figure 4
(A) AO staining showed that no excess apoptotic cells were observed in the brain injected with ATPγS or LPC, although the apoptotic cells could be readily observed in the brain of 3 dpf WT.
(B) Dorsal view images of the midbrain of Tg(mpeg1:loxP-DsRedx-loxP-eGFP) control and gpr132a morphants (MO). DsRedx+ cells represent microglia. Dashed lines indicate the midbrain.
(C) Quantification of the microglia number in the midbrain of Tg(mpeg1:loxP-DsRedx-loxPeGFP) control and gpr132a morphants (MO). n=8 for WT control and n=10 for MO. Error bars represent mean SEM.
(D) Examination of gpr132a and gpr132b expression in macrophage and whole fish body by RTPCR at 2.5-3 dpf.
(E) gpr132a MO efficiently blocked the expression of pCS2-gpr132a-ATG-DsRedx reporter construct.
(F) gpr132b MO efficiently blocked the expression of pCS2-gpr132b-ATG-DsRedx reporter construct.
