Caption (A) Representative electron micrographs from transverse sciatic nerve ultrathin section from Sirt2tm1.1Auw/Sirt2tm1.1Auw Tg(Mpz-cre)26Mes/0 (Sirt2-SCKO) mutants and Sirt2tm1.1Auw/Sirt2tm1.1Auw (Sirt2fl/fl-control) mice at postnatal ages P1, P3, and P5. Note reduction in the number of myelinated fibers in Sirt2-SCKO preparations. (Scale bar: 10 um.) (B and C) Histomorphometric quantification of myelinated fiber numbers (B) and g-ratios (C) in transverse sciatic nerve sections from mutants and control mice at postnatal ages P1-P28 (n = 3-5 mice per group tested) (*P < 0.05). (D) Representative light (Upper) and electron (Lower) microscopy of distal sciatic nerve stumps 14 d after nerve crush injury. Red arrows point to regenerated fibers. Note thinner myelin sheaths or complete absence of compact myelin (asterisks) in axons from adult Sirt2-SCKO mutant mice compared with controls. Blue arrowheads point to macrophages with typical cytoplasmic vacuolation due to phagocytosis. [Scale bars: 20 um (light microscopy) and 2 um (electron microscopy).] (E and F) Quantification of g-ratios (E) and fiber numbers (F) in distal sciatic nerve stumps at different time points after nerve crush injury in Sirt2-SCKO mutant mice and controls (n = 7-8 mice per group tested) (*P < 0.05).
