Wizard Who Seems To Be Scared Of Ivacaftor

To disrupt the microtubule network, we used nocodazole and first confirmed that a 30?min treatment of eight-cell embryos was sufficient for this purpose (n?= 20/20; Figures 4A and 4C) as previously reported ( Johnson and Maro, 1984). We found that this treatment prevented the apical localization of Cdx2 transcripts in all http://www.selleckchem.com/products/gdc-0068.html compacted eight-cell embryos (n?= 0/18 embryos, ��?= 166�� �� 3�� and BA?= ?1.42 �� 0.08), whereas vehicle-treated controls were unaffected (n?= 6/7 embryos, ��?= 33�� �� 12�� and BA?= 1.01 �� 0.20, ��2 test, p?Ivacaftor of actin was sufficient to disrupt the apical localization of Cdx2 transcripts in all embryos examined (n?= 0/12 embryos, ��?= 140�� �� 13�� and BA?= ?0.82 �� 0.2), whereas control embryos?were not affected (n?= 12/12 embryos, ��?= 33�� �� 12�� and BA?= 1.01 �� 0.20; ��2 test, p?Tubulin in comparison with Cdx2 mRNA injection in control embryos; Figure?4E). We confirmed the successful injection of antibodies by immunostaining (data not shown). Together, these results suggest that Cdx2 transcript localization requires either one or both of the microtubule and actin networks, which are interdependent at this developmental stage, and the activity of a motor protein of the kinesin superfamily. The apical enrichment of the Cdx2 transcripts upon apical-basal polarization suggested a possible role of cell polarization in this?process.
