From: Trophic and proliferative effects of Shh on motor neurons in embryonic spinal cord culture from wildtype and G93A SOD1 mice

Figure 2

Shh has trophic effects on motor neurons. Representative microscopic images show SMI32+ cells from WT mice treated with Shh 250 ng/ml had larger somata and more arborization (A) compared to cyclopamine-treated cells (B). It was shown that the average number of SMI32+ cells per field after treated with 250 ng/ml Shh was significantly higher than that control and cyclopamine (Shh 11 ± 1 vs control 5 ± 0, ** p = 0.0001; Shh 11 ± 1 vs cyclopamine 3 ± 0, * p = 0.0001; cyclopamine 3 ± 0 vs control 5 ± 0, δ p=0.017; C).
