Article Title: Multiple Postsynaptic Protein Levels Are Maintained in a Delayed Form of Compensatory, Experience-Dependent Plasticity in Adult Superior Colliculus

doi: 10.1101/2022.10.06.511220

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Upper panel: Individual Western blots of normally reared (NR) and dark-reared (DR) treatment groups generated using 20 μg of SC protein per lane. Lower panel: Densitometric analyses of GABA A Rα2 in normally vs. dark reared hamster pups. (B) Comparison of GABA A Rα2 expression with GABAA A Rα1 expression, shown as individual Western blots in the upper panel and as a ratio in the lower panel. Data presented as mean ± SEM. In this and other figures, lanes presented together are from the same gel(s), and each measured protein was normalized against GAPDH as a loading control. These results suggest that the number and ratio of synaptic GABA A α2 receptors are similar in normal and dark reared adult SC.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Protein samples from each group used for proteomic analysis were minimally labeled with cyanine-3 dye. At the top, a representative protein profile of three biological replicates from brain lysates of mock (M), early (E), late paralytic (LP) and late tetanus-like (LT), separated by 10% SDS-PAGE is shown. WB with fluorescence-based methods was used to detect an overlaid fluorescent scan of the general protein patterns (Cy3 dye; green) and the specific immunoreactive proteins (FITC or Cy5 dye; red). To better visualize protein detection signals observed with each specific antibody used, corresponding cropped WB images are presented in grey levels. (B) The graphs correspond to the mean ± S.D. of protein quantity measured by densitometry of the antigenic bands. Densitometry analyses were performed using TotalLab Quant v12.2 software (Nonlinear Dynamics), and data were normalized to levels of global protein pattern intensity. The values indicated under each graph correspond to fold changes from paired comparisons. The significance of the differential protein expression are indicated *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001.
