ATG16L1 effectively relieves lens differentiation defects in cx50-deficient zebrafish. (A) Representative images show the distribution of nuclei and F-actin in the lenses of 72 hpf WT, cx50-deficient zebrafish, and cx50-deficient zebrafish injected with the vector or ATG16L1 plasmid. Scale bar: 10 µm. (B) Quantification of the severity of lens defects and the number of nuclei in lenses of each group (n > 25 zebrafish for each group). Mann-Whitney test. (C) Electron micrographs of lenses in 72 hpf WT, cx50-deficient zebrafish, and cx50-deficient zebrafish injected with the ATG16L1 plasmid. Yellow arrows indicate autophagic vacuoles (AVs), scale bar: 1 µm. (D) The number of AVs per area (40 ?m2) in each group (n ? 30 cells from 5 lenses). Mean ± SD, *p < 0.05. N.S. not significant (Mann-Whitney test). |
