Figure 4From: Increased large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel expression accompanied by STREX variant downregulation in the developing mouse CNSDevelopmental regulation of STREX and ZERO variant splicing in tissues from the rhombencephalon, mesencephalon and spinal cord. STREX (black bars) and ZERO (open bars) mRNA levels expressed as a percentage of total BK channel transcripts in the respective tissue at each developmental time point. Splice variant expression was analysed in mouse: a) spinal cord, b) midbrain, c) cerebellum, d) pons and e) medulla at embryonic day 13 (E13), 15 (E15), 18 (E18) and postnatal days 7 and 35 (P7 and P35 respectively). All data are Means ± S.E.M, n = 5/tissue region. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, compared to respective splice variant expression at P35, Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test with post hoc Dunn's test for multiple comparisons.Back to article page
