(a) Representative Airyscan imaging of liver cryosections stained with α-tubulin antibody (magenta) marking spindle microtubules and DAPI (cyan) marking DNA in mitotic cells of TO(krasG12V)T/+ larvae on a wildtype ahctf1+/+ background. (b) Mitotic cells in liver cryosections of TO(krasG12V)T/+ larvae that are heterozygous for ahctf1+/− exhibit multiple defects, including multipolar spindles, misaligned chromosomes, and anaphase bridges (arrows). Scale bar 2 µm. (c) Distribution of cells observed at different mitotic stages (n = 92 livers, 326 mitotic cells). (d) Quantification of the percentage of mitotic hepatocytes exhibiting an aberrant phenotype (n = 14–57). Significance was assessed using a Chi-square test.
ahctf1 heterozygosity impairs mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in dox-treated TO(krasG12V)T/+ hepatocytes.
