Differentiation potential of NIS-Hipp-NSCs. a Immunofluorescence analysis of Hipp-NSCs transduced with the hNIS (NIS-Hipp-NSCs) and of naïve Hipp-NSCs cultured in differentiation medium for 7 days. Nuclei are counterstained blue with DAPI. b Western blot analysis of total protein extracts from differentiated NIS-Hipp-NSCs and naïve Hipp-NSCs. The expression of GAPDH was used to normalize the densitometry value index (DVI). N = 3; *P < 0.05 by Student’s t test. DAPI 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, GAPDH glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Hipp-NSC hippocampus-derived neural stem cell, hNIS human sodium iodide symporter, NIS-Hipp-NSC hippocampus-derived neural stem cell expressing the human sodium iodide symporter
