aurBhi1045 homozygotes exhibit an increase in cell apoptosis. (A,B) Exposure to the live cell apoptosis dye acridine orange brightly labels aurBhi1045 homozygotes (B), while control siblings only exhibit background levels of labeling (A). (C–D) Embryos from incrosses between aurBhi1045 heterozytes, 25% of which are expected to be aurBhi1045 homozygotes, were treated with either the caspase inhibitor Boc-D-FMK (D,D′) or control solvent (DMSO; C,C′). Embryos exhibiting the brain necrosis phenotype characteristic of aurBhi1045 homozygotes are indicated with an asterisk. Boc-D-FMK treatment prevents both the brain necrosis visible under standard microscopy (DIC; D, compare to C) and the accumulation of acridine orange labeled cells (AO; D′ compare to C′). |
