Knockdown of zranb3 reduces β-cell number in zebrafish larvae. Injection of antisense oligonucleotide morpholinos (MO) targeting zranb3 reduced β-cells in 5 dpf larval zebrafish, detected by Tg(ins:mCherry) expression imaged via whole-mount confocal microscopy (a, b). c Depth coding of confocal microscopy images of whole-mount islets reveals individual cell resolution of β-cells in 5 dpf larval islets, color coded by depth (distal to proximal) along the z-axis. d, eWhole-mount immunostaining of MO-injected Tg(ins:mCherry) larval islets using antibody against glucagon (green). f Quantification of β-cell number in 5 dpf larval islets of Tg(ins:mCherry) injected with indicated concentrations of MO against zranb. (n = 17–19). Bars represent average across groups. Error bars represent SEM. p Values are from the t test. Scale bars = 25 µM
