The Adult Mouse Hypothalamus Has a Wnt-Responsive Cell Population (A and B) Sagittal (A) and coronal (B) sections of adult Bat-LacZ mouse brains. (C) β-gal+ cells are distributed in both the ventricular zone (where Sox2+ and GFAP+ cells reside) and the parenchymal zone (where Sox2, HuC/D+, NeuN+, and Dlx2+ cells reside) Coronal 40μm cryosections are shown. (D) Colocalization of β-gal with specific markers in the hypothalamus. (E) Percentage of marker coexpression within the β-gal+ population. Single confocal optical sections are shown in (C) and (D). Scale bars represent 2 mm (A and B), and 80 μm (C). Cell counts were collected from the mediobasal hypothalamus, using six 40μm cryosections each from three mice. Error = ±SD. |
