Fig. 5 Murine Popdc2 is able to rescue the morphant phenotype. (A–H) Lateral view of the (A,E) uninjected wild-type embryos (WT) as controls and embryos injected with either (B,F) 100 pg Popdc2 cRNA, (C,G) 1 ng of MO1-popdc2, or (D,H) 100 pg Popdc2 cRNA and MO1-popdc2 morpholino, which were photographed at (A,C,E,G) 24 hpf, or (B,D,F,H) 48 hpf. (I–L) Lateral confocal stacks of the zebrafish trunk labeled with phalloidin rhodamine at 48 hpf. (I) control, (J) Popdc2 cRNA, (K) MO1-popdc2, (L) Popdc2 cRNA and MO1-popdc2 morpholino. (M) Graphic depiction of the percentage of embryos with wildtype appearance (WT) (blue), or weak (pink), and severe (red) pathological phenotypes. Significant difference (p < 0.05) is marked with an asterisk. Scale bar = 100 μm.
