Additional file 3: Figure S3. of Molecular and behavioral profiling of Dbx1-derived neurons in the arcuate, lateral and ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei

Increased c-Fos in Arc, LH, and VMH after innate behaviors. (A-D.i) Images of the c-Fos expression in the Arc (A-D), LH (E-H), and VMH (I-L) after mice were exposed to mating (A, E, and I), aggression (B, F, and J), fasting (C, G, and K), or predator (D, H, and L) behavioral paradigms. The number of cells expressing c-Fos in the Arc, LH, and VMH are increased after exposure to the four behavioral paradigms. The scale bar represents 500 μm in the LH and VMH (A-D.i, I-L.i) and 250 μm in the Arc (E-H.i). (TIF 172032 kb

Dbx1-derived cells in nuclei as defined by specific markers. (A-D) Schematic of medial (top) to lateral (bottom) sagittal views of the embryonic forebrain. (A.i-D.i) As shown by YFP expression in E13.5 Dbx1 Cre ;Rosa26YFP embryos, Dbx1-derived cells are are found in primordial hypothalamic nuclei including in the paraventricular, arcuate, ventral medial and lateral progenitor domains. (A.ii-D.iii) As shown by ISH of serial sections, specific markers of the paraventriclar (Sim1, A.ii; Fezf1, A.iii), arcuate (Pomc, B.ii; Bsx, B.iii), ventral medial (Fezf1, C.ii; Nr5a1, C.iii) and lateral hypothalamic (Pmch, D.ii; Lhx9, D.iii) nuclei overlap with expression of YFP.

Additional file 2: of Pregnancy and estrogen enhance neural progenitor-cell proliferation in the vomeronasal sensory epithelium

Excel workbook containing the mapping statistics of the RNAseq data for each sample, along with the accession numbers for the raw data; the normalized counts for the whole transcriptome; the differential expression analysis between the pregnant and control samples; the gene ontology categories significantly overrepresented in the differentially expressed genes; the normalized counts for the VR genes, accounting for total VSN number; and the differential expression analysis on the VR genes only, after normalization for VSN number, between the pregnant and control samples. The column ‘length’ corresponds to the total exonic bases in all transcripts from the gene. For the differential expression sheets, the columns contain the following data: ‘baseMean’, corresponds to the mean normalized expression value for the gene across all samples; ‘log2FoldChange’, is the fold change between the pregnant and control samples, log2 transformed; ‘lfcSE’, corresponds to the standard error associated with the fold change estimation; ‘stat’, is the Wald statistic; ‘pvalue’ is the P value of the test; and ‘padj’ is the P value after adjusting for multiple testing (Benjamini-Hochberg). Genes that have both their ‘pvalue’ and ‘padj’ set to NA contain outliers; genes with only their ‘padj’ set to NA were filtered prior to the test because their normalized counts were too low.
