Rod outer segment shedding resumes following removal of sildenafil. (A) Schematic timeline for examining rod outer segment renewal in larval Tg(Xla.rho:EGFP); Tg(hsp70:HA-mCherryTM); albb4/b4 fish following heat shock at 5 dpf, sildenafil treatment for 3 days post heat shock (dpHS), and 1 to 3 days sildenafil removal (dWash). (B) Representative images of photoreceptor layers from 0 and 3 dWash sildenafil-treated larvae immunolabeled with anti-GFP (green), anti-HA (red), and anti-Rhodopsin (blue) antibodies. Images are projections of a subset of z-sections totaling 8.1 μm. Scale bar: 10 μm. Quantification of shedding distance (DS) following removal of (C) sildenafil for 0 to 3 days (dWash). Lower and upper hinges of box correspond to first and third quartiles; middle corresponds to median; whiskers extend 1.5 * interquartile range above and below the hinges; dots represent outliers. Graphs represent n = 5 retinas/condition (≥74 outer segments). *95% CI of difference compared to control does not span zero. |
