    Figure 1. Matrigel Branching Assays using Endometrial Tissue Conditioned Media. A, B, and C: Media only control. Cells treated with conditioned media endometrium supplying the closest to mean litter weight fetus (CTMLW) (D, E, and F) and lightest fetus (G, H, and I) at gestational day (GD) 45. Cells treated with conditioned media from endometrium supplying the CTMLW (J, K, and L) or lightest fetus (M, N, and O) at GD60. All conditioned media collected after 18 hours of tissue explant culture. The CTMLW and lightest fetuses within GD were from the same litter. Scale bars represent 10 μM. Representative images taken using the Zeiss <t>AxioObserver</t> <t>Z1</t> at ×5 magnification at 2, 6, and 10 hours post-seeding of the endothelial cells.

    (A) Hippocampal neurons from ZH3 (Prnp -/- ) mice were transduced at DIV6 with a lentivirus encoding eGFP under control of the synapsin promoter to achieve neuron-specific expression.

Merge shows a superposition of the two images. (B) Prnp -/- neurons were untransduced, or were transduced with lentiviruses encoding WT, G126V, or V208M PrP. Cells were fixed and stained with Alexa488-phalloidin (green) to visualize F-actin in dendritic spines and with D18 antibody (red) to detect PrP. Neurons from ZH3 (Prnp -/- ) and C57BL/6 (Prnp +/+ ) mice were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. Scale bar = 20 µm. (C) Higher magnification images of neurons showing dendritic shafts with protruding spines. Scale bar = 5 µm. (D) Dendritic spines of 12-15 neurons (each having 3-5 dendrites/neuron) from 2 independent experiments were counted in randomly selected areas, and statistical comparisons made using a one-way ANOVA multiple comparison test. Spine number is expressed per µm length of dendrite. Prnp -/- vs WT, p=0.4802; Prnp -/- vs G126V, p=0.9493; Prnp -/- vs V208M, p=0.2103. ns = not significant.
