Heparin effects during oligodendrogenesis and oligodendrocyte maturation in CNP::EGFP mice cultures.

Abstract

<p>A) The number of NG2⁺ cells at the end of the proliferation stage are expressed as a proportion respect to the total number of nuclei analyzed per treatment. More than 300 nuclei were analyzed for each treatment in 4 independent cultures. B, C) The proportion of GFP⁺ and MBP⁺ cells after differentiation is compared in Heparin (1.25 U/L) treated cultures against culture lacking Heparin. More than 600 nuclei were analyzed for a each treatment. Data analysis in graphs was performed using Student´s t Test. D) Representative images of CNP::EGFP mice derived cutlures demonstrating EGFP⁺ (green) and MBP⁺ (magenta) cells. Scale bar in D (i) represents 100 μm for all images in D. Each pair of columns in A (with or without Heparin) was analyzed with a Student´s t test. ns = not significant.</p
