Downregulation of an Evolutionary Young miR-1290 in an iPSC-Derived Neural Stem Cell Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Figure 3

Overexpression of coculture rescued the phenotype (a) Undifferentiated ASD-NSCs were plated and differentiated for 21 days in the presence of miR-1290 and negative mimics followed by immunostaining. Results indicate a significant decrease in progenitor cells but no difference in MAP2-expressing cells was seen. Bar = 20 μm. ( donors), determined by an unpaired -test and corrected by the Holm-Sidak multiple correction post hoc test. (b) Coculture with control-NSCs decreased significantly the progenitor cells (Nestin, Sox2) whereas no effect was seen on neuronal MAP2 cells. ( donors), determined by an unpaired t-test and corrected by the Holm-Sidak multiple correction post hoc test. Data are represented as the .
