    (A) An experimental timeline that describes injury, mRNA transfection and electroporation at 0dpi, BrdU pulse for 5hrs at 4dpi, followed by harvesting. (B and C) IF microscopy images of retinal cross-sections show a significant increase in the number of BrdU + and PCNA + retinal progenitors in yy1a overexpression, while no significant increase in the case of yy1b overexpression as compared to control gfp mRNA transfected retina at 4dpi (B), which is quantified (C). (D and E) IF microscopy images of retinal cross-sections show a significant increase in the number of BrdU + and PCNA + retinal progenitors in yy1a and yy1b combined overexpression, as compared to control gfp mRNA transfected retina at 4dpi (D), which is quantified (E). (F) qPCR analysis shows an upregulation in the levels of ascl1a, lin28a, sox2 and hdac1 in the combined overexpression of yy1a and yy1b. (G) Western blot analysis shows an upregulation in the levels of Ascl1a, Lin28a, Sox2 and Hdac1, while downregulation of Oct4 and Zic2b in the combined overexpression of yy1a and yy1b. (H) qPCR analysis shows a downregulation in the levels of oct4 and zic2b in the combined overexpression of yy1a and yy1b. Scale bars represent 10μm in (B and D); asterisk marks the injury site and GCL, ganglion cell layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer in (B and D); dpi, days post injury. Error bars represent SD. *p < 0.005 in (E, F); *p < 0.0005 (C, H); n.s is non-significant. n = 6 biological replicates.
