    <p><b>A.</b> Data graph show representative results from time-course MOP-YFP receptor endocytosis experiments performed with DAMGO at different concentrations (see symbol legends). <b>B.</b> Dose-response curve obtained after non-linear analysis of data corresponding to the maximal effect in terms of number of vesicles per cells generated by different concentrations of DAMGO. Each point represents the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments.</p

    Kinetic parameters obtained from endocytosis assays performed with cells heterologously co-expressing MOP-YFP and c-myc-5-HT2C-Cerulean receptors.

    <p><b>Upper panels:</b> Confocal microscopy images from Flp-In HEK293 cells permanently expressing MOP-YFP receptors without induction of c-myc-5-HT<sub>2C</sub>-Cerulean receptor expression. Cells were treated with either DAMGO (10 μM) (left panel) or morphine (10 μM) (right panel) for 30 minutes before picture acquisition. <b>Lower panels:</b> Images from cells treated with doxycycline (0.01 μg/ml) for 24 hours in order to express c-myc-5-HT<sub>2C</sub>-Cerulean receptors. Cells were treated with either DAMGO (10 μM), morphine (10 μM), 5-HT (10 μM) or morphine plus 5-HT for 30 minutes before picture acquisition.</p

    <p>Images obtained by confocal microscopy from living Flp-In HEK293 cells expressing permanently MOP-YFP receptors and c-myc-5-HT<sub>2C</sub>-Cerulean receptors in an inducible manner. The right column corresponds to the images resulting after exciting the cells with the YFP light settings whereas in the left column are the same microscopy field illuminated for CFP visualization. When indicated, +DOX corresponds to treatment with doxycycline (0.01 μg/ml) for 24 hours prior to microscope observation.</p

    <p><b>A.</b> Data graph display representative results from time-course MOP-YFP receptor endocytosis experiments conducted by co-treatment with morphine at 10 μM plus 5-HT at different concentrations (see symbol legends). <b>B.</b> Dose-response curve (continuous line) obtained after non-linear analysis of the maximal effect (number of vesicles per cell) generated by morphine (10 μM) plus different concentrations of 5-HT. Each point represents the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Dotted line display the characteristic bell shaped profile observed when connecting these points in an increasing dose-dependent manner.</p

    <p>(A) Schematic representation of the research design employed to uncover the SOX2 transcriptome in GSC11 cells. (B) qRT-PCR and western blot confirmation of SOX2 inhibition in GSC11 cells after 72h of si-SOX2 or si-Scramble (si-Scrbl) transfection. SOX2 relative mRNA levels are presented as 2<sup>-ΔΔ</sup>Ct standardized with their constitutive gene GAPDH. Each bar represents the mean ± SD. For western blot tubulin was used as housekeeping control and shown as a representative blot of four independent experiments.</p
