Developmental expression patterns of SNAP25a and SNAP25b in rat brain. A) Left panel, Equal amounts of whole brain lysates prepared from rats at different developmental stages (supplied by Zyagen Inc.) were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose for immunoblotting analysis using 3067, 3068, panSNAP25, SNAP23 and actin antibodies. Right panel shows the mean (+/-SEM) fold increase in expression levels of SNAP23, SNAP25a and SNAP25b between a late embryonic stage (E18-E20) and P30-32 (n = 3). The fold increase in SNAP25b expression was significantly greater than that of either SNAP25a (P < 0.05) or SNAP23 (p < 0.02), analysed using a one-way ANOVA. B) Equal amounts of brain lysates from gender-determined E20 litter mates were resolved on SDS-PAGE gels beside an aliquot of P32 brain lysate and analyzed as in panel A. C) Lysates from the hippocampus, cerebellum and cortex were prepared from pooled samples collected from 3 animals at P2 or P20. Samples were analyzed as in Panel A. Position of molecular weight standards are shown on the left of all panels.
