Figure Lengend Snippet: a Schematic depicting the generation of Cxadr -null TSCs by CRISPR-Cas9 targeting of exon 2. b Immunofluorescence staining of wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) TSCs against CXADR, showing cell membrane localisation in WT cells, and lack of positive staining in KO TSCs. Images are representative of n = 5 WT independently derived clones and n = 3 independently derived KO clones. c Diagram depicting experimental set-up, where WT and KO TSCs were used for RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining across a differentiation time course. d Proliferation rates of WT (n = 3 clones) and KO ( n = 3 clones) TSCs in differentiation conditions (Remove) over a 4-day period. No differences were observed. Statistical analysis was performed by two-sided unpaired t-test per day. Data are displayed as mean +/- SEM. e Immunofluorescence staining of WT and KO TSCs after 4 days of differentiation against cell membrane marker ZO1, depicting the presence of a smooth continuous ZO1-stained cell border in non-syncytial, single cells in the WT clone, and complete syncytialisation in the KO clone.
