Knockdown of sept7b reduces ?-cell volume and inhibits ?-cell proliferation.
(A,B) Three-dimensional rendered z-stack confocal images generated from control MO-injected (A) and sept7b TBMO-injected (B) zebrafish larva at 5?dpf stained as whole mounts with antibodies against insulin. (C) Insulin-positive cell volume is significantly reduced in sept7b TBMO-injected zebrafish larvae at 5?dpf. (D,E) Three-dimensional rendered z-stack confocal images generated from control MO-injected (D) and sept7b TBMO-injected (E) zebrafish larva at 5?dpf treated with EdU (green) to visualize proliferating cells and stained with antibodies against insulin (red) to visualize ?-cells. DAPI shows the nuclei (blue). Arrowheads indicate proliferating ?-cells (positive for both EdU and insulin). (F) ?-cell proliferation is significantly reduced in sept7b knockdown larvae. Error bars represent mean?±?SEM. Scale bar (A,B) (10??m); (D,E) (10??m). ***p???0.0005.
