GABAAα6 subunit expression is lower in Pclogt/gt than in Pclowt/wt. A, Representative images of sagittal sections of Pclowt/wt and Pclogt/gt cerebella at 3 months of age stained with antibodies against the GABAA subunit α6, VGluT2, and MAP2. There are decreased levels of GABAAα6 in the GCL of Pclogt/gt animals compared with Pclowt/wt controls, quantified in B. B, Quantification of GABAA subunit α6, measured by the average intensity of antibody staining in images taken from the GCL of the cerebellum, normalized to MAP2 antibody intensities for the same image (Pclowt/wt = 0.661 ± 0.0479 a.u., n = 45 images from 3 individual animals; Pclogt/gt = 0.443 ± 0.26 a.u., n = 44 images from 3 individual animals; Mann–Whitney U test, U = 589, ***p = 0.0009). Scale bars, 20 μm. Error bars indicate SEM. Data points represent images taken from 4 sections per animal. Animals used in this experiment are as follows: wt10, wt11, wt13; ko9-ko11.
