P-S Number of Pax7 (red) positive MuSCs in cross sections of tibialis anterior muscle (P-R); the relative amount of quiescent MuSCs identified by double staining (yellow arrows) for Pax7 and CalcR (green) does not significantly differ between WT and linc-MYH KO animals (S). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar in P indicates 25 µm for P and Q. (n = 3 KO/3 WT animals, Mann-Whitney test one-tailed; *p = 0.05, ns: not significant). All data are mean ± S.E.M.
