Evidence for the involvement of ASIC3 in sensory mechanotransduction in proprioceptors

This work was supported in Taipei by Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica and grants from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan (NSC100-2321-B-001-018, NSC102-2321-B-001-056, NSC102-2320-B-001-021-MY3, and MOST104-2325-B- 001-011) and in Aberdeen, by the Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen, UK. We thank Dr David J. Anderson and Dr Yoshihiro Yoshihara for providing plasmids containing cDNA of eGFP-f and WGA, respectively. Dr John N. Wood, Dr Bai-Chuang Shyu and Dr Yu-Ting Yan for providing transgenic lines including Nav1.8-Cre, Parvalbumin-Cre, ROSA-Gt26 reporter and CAG-STOPfloxed-GFP reporter mice. Also we thank Dr Silvia Arber for offering Parvalbumin-Cre-specific genotyping primer sequence, Dr Philip LeDuc for critical reading of the manuscript, and the Transgenic Core Facility of Academia Sinica for the help on the generation of the 2 Asic3 mutant mice, as well as Dr Sin-Jhong Cheng of NPAS for technique support on electrophysiology
