(A) Schematic illustration of splice-blocking morpholino (SB-MO) targeting the exon 3/intron 3 junction in zebrafish eif2ak2 pre-mRNA. The correctly spliced (wild type transcripts) and intron 3 retained transcripts are shown. The translation-blocking morpholino targets the AUG start codon in post-spliced eif2ak2 mRNA. (B) SV2 immunostaining of motor axons in 30 hpf zebrafish embryos injected with GFP control mRNA and antisense (C4G2)70 RNAs. Scale bar = 50 µm. (C, D) Effects of SB-MO on axonal length (C) and branching (D) of zebrafish expressing antisense (C4G2)70 RNAs. Embryos were injected with 0.844 µM GFP mRNA, 0.844 µM antisense (C4G2)70 RNAs, 0.844 µM antisense (C4G2)70 RNAs plus 0.25 mM control morpholino, or 0.844 µM antisense (C4G2)70 RNAs plus 0.25 mM eif2ak2 morpholino. Error bars represent SD (n = 4 independent experiments). Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. (E, F) Effects of SB-MO on axonal length and branching of zebrafish expressing sense (G4C2)70 RNAs. Embryos were injected with 0.844 µM GFP mRNA, 0.844 µc sense (G4C2)70 RNAs, 0.844 µM sense (G4C2)70 RNAs plus 0.25 mM control morpholino or 0.844 µM sense (G4C2)70 RNAs plus 0.25 mM eif2ak2 morpholino. Error bars represent SD (n = 4 independent experiments). Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test.
