Figure Legend Snippet: Neurog2 confers ERK5-dependent pro-neural activity in SGZ-derived aNPCs. SGZ-derived aNPCs were infected with control retroviral and lentiviral vectors expressing eGFP only (A–D), lentiviral Neurog2 only (E–H), and lentiviral Neurog2 together with control retroviral shNS (J–M) or shERK5 (N–Q). One day after virus infection, cells were washed and then maintained in regular EGF- and bFGF-containing medium for 5 days before co-immunostaining for GFP (green) and various cellular markers (red) including β-III tubulin or Sox2 as indicated. The percentage of GFP+ cells that also express β-III tubulin or Sox2 were quantified (I and R). Scale bar in A represents 25 μm and applies to all images. Arrowheads point to GFP+ co-labeled cells, whereas arrows point to GFP+ cells that are not co-labeled with cell-type specific markers.
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, Derivative Assay, Infection, Expressing, Immunostaining, Labeling

Figure Legend Snippet: ERK5 signaling is necessary for promoting neurogenesis of SGZ-derived aNPCs in culture. aNPCs were infected with nonspecific shRNA control retroviral vector (shNS) or shRNA to ERK5 retrovirus as indicated. Both retroviral vectors encode eGFP marker protein under a bicistronic promoter. One day after virus infection, cells were washed and then incubated in culture medium free of EGF and bFGF for 5 days to allow spontaneous differentiation. Cells were then fixed for immunocytochemistry and co-stained for GFP to identify virus-infected cells (green) and various cell-type specific markers (red). A–D, co-staining of GFP with β-III tubulin. E, quantification of the percentage of GFP+ cells that are also β-III tubulin+. F–I, immunostaining of GFP+-infected cells and Nestin+ neural stem cells. J–M, immunostaining of GFP+-infected cells and PCNA+ proliferating cells. N, quantification of the percentage of GFP+ cells that also express Sox2, Nestin, or PCNA. Scale bar in A represents 25 μm and applies to all images. Arrowheads point to GFP+ cells co-labeled with various cell markers, whereas arrows point to GFP+ cells that are marker negative.
Techniques Used: Derivative Assay, Infection, shRNA, Plasmid Preparation, Marker, Incubation, Immunocytochemistry, Staining, Immunostaining, Labeling

Figure Legend Snippet: Activation of endogenous ERK5 signaling is sufficient to promote neurogenesis of dentate gyrus-derived aNPCs in culture. A, anti-ERK5 and MEK5 Western analysis of NIH-3T3 cells infected with retroviruses expressing caMEK5 and/or wild-type (wt−) ERK5. Cells infected with GFP retrovirus (vector only) were used as controls. β-Actin was used as a loading control. Expression of caMEK5 caused reduced electrophoretic mobility of endogenous ERK5 (lanes 1 and 2) as well as the co-infected wtERK5 (lanes 3 and 4), indicative of ERK5 phosphorylation (p-ERK5) and activation. These data ascertain the constitutive active nature of the caMEK5 virus. B–O, aNPCs were infected with control retroviral vector expressing eGFP only or expressing caMEK5-IRES-eGFP. One day after virus infection, cells were washed and then maintained in regular EGF- and bFGF-containing medium for 5 days before co-immunostaining for GFP (green) and various cellular markers (red) including β-III tubulin (B–E), Nestin (G–J), and PCNA (K–N). The percentage of GFP+ cells that also express β-III tubulin (F), Sox2, Nestin, or PCNA (O) was quantified. Scale bar in B represents 25 μm and applies to all images. Arrowheads point to GFP+ cells co-labeled with various cell markers, whereas arrows point to GFP+ cells that are marker negative.
Techniques Used: Activation Assay, Derivative Assay, Western Blot, Infection, Expressing, Plasmid Preparation, Immunostaining, Labeling, Marker

Figure Legend Snippet: NT3 activates ERK5 and stimulates neuronal differentiation of SGZ-derived aNPCs through ERK5. A, BDNF and NT3 induce ERK5 phosphorylation, indicative of ERK5 activation. SGZ-derived aNPCs were treated with vehicle control (NS, lane 1), 50 ng/ml of BDNF (lanes 2–5), or 100 ng/ml of NT3 (lanes 6–9) for the indicated times. Total ERK5 (T-ERK5) was used as a loading control. B, NT3 stimulates neuronal differentiation of SGZ-derived aNPCs through a process that requires ERK5. SGZ-derived aNPCs were infected with retroviruses encoding a nonspecific control (shNS) or shERK5. Cells were then incubated in EGF/bFGF-free medium and treated with NT3 (100 ng/ml) for 5 days to induce neuronal differentiation. Cells treated with BSA (1 μg/ml) were used as a control.
Techniques Used: Derivative Assay, Activation Assay, Infection, Incubation
