Fig. 6 Hdac1 function in ERG progenitor cells is necessary for regenerative neurogenesis (A) Doxycycline (Dox) exposure leads to strong detectability of YFP in tg(her4.3:TetA; TetRE:YFP-dnhdac1) transgenic animals at 24 h post-induction; lateral views are shown (rostral left; dorsal up). (B) A cross section (dorsal up) through the spinal cord of a tg(her4.3:TetA; TetRE:YFP-dnhdac1) larva shows labeling in ventricular ERG progenitors, some of which are glial fibrillary acidic protein (Gfap) immune positive. Peripheral HuC immuno-labeled neurons are rarely labeled by the trasngene. (C) Western blot shows a doxycycline-induced increase in histone acetylation levels (AcH4) in FACS purified ERGs. Anti-tubulin labeling was used as a standard. (D) Activation of transgene expression reduces the number of newly generated neurons (HuC+/EdU+, t test: ∗∗p = 0.009; incubation time for doxycycline and EdU: 0 to 48 hpl). Control is doxycycline-treated non-transgenic siblings. (E) Graphical summary of immune system mediated regenerative neurogenesis with experimental interventions indicated in red. Scale bars: 50 μm. Data are represented as mean ± SEM.
