“…Mapt (Tau) was expressed highly in PANs and moderately in iNs. Both PANs and iNs expressed neuronal markers Tubb3, MAP2, Prph, Dcx, Rbfox3 (Kim et al, 2009 ); genes for synaptic proteins Snap25 (Flores-Otero and Davis, 2011 ; Wang et al, 2013 ), Stmn3, Vamp2, Syp (Khalifa et al, 2003 ), Syn1 (Scarfone et al, 1991 ); the gene for the ion channel Kcnk3 (Chen and Davis, 2006 ) and the transcription factor Prox1 (Bermingham-McDonogh et al, 2006 ) (Nishimura et al, 2017 ). However, the expression of genes for ion channels Kcnk1 and Kcnk9 (Chen and Davis, 2006 ), and transcription factors Gata3 (Appler et al, 2013 ; Nishimura et al, 2017 ) and Mafb (Yu et al, 2013 ; Nishimura et al, 2017 ) were only expressed in endogenous PANs.…”
