Fig. 3 Effect of il1rapl1b-MO on the VAMP2-EGFP punctum formation in axon terminals of olfactory sensory neurons. (A) Representative VAMP2-EGFP signals in olfactory neuron axon terminals of embryos injected with Pomp-VG and control-MO (left), Pomp-VG and il1rapl1b-MO (middle) and Pomp-VG-Il1rapl1b and il1rapl1b-MO (right) at 60 hpf. The threshold images of VAMP2-EGFP signals are on the bottom. Arrowheads point axonal shafts. Bar = 5 μm. (B) The area of VAMP2-EGFP puncta in axon terminals of olfactory sensory neurons of embryos injected with Pomp-VG and control-MO (open bar), Pomp-VG and il1rapl1b-MO (filled bar) and Pomp-VG-Il1rapl1b and il1rapl1b-MO (gray bar) at 60 hpf. n = 56–60 for 31–33 embryos. One-way ANOVA: F = 33.9 and p < 0.001. All values represent mean ± SEM. * and ***, p < 0.05 and< 0.001, respectively.
