Larval zebrafish SCI model used in this study. At 5 dpf, the spinal cords of zebrafish were injured using a device for microdissection (Movie S1). At 0, 1, 2, and 3 dpi, the locomotive behavior of zebrafish was analyzed (Figure 4, Movies S2, S3). At 3 dpi, in vivo imaging of the spinal cord was performed (Figure 5). A representative SCI in zebrafish is indicated by the red arrow. |
Neuronal regeneration after SCI was impaired in zebrafish treated with E2F4 inhibitor. (A) Representative in vivo imaging of Tg(eno2: Cerulean) zebrafish. (B) Representative in vivo imaging of Tg(eno2: Cerulean) zebrafish with SCI at 3 dpi treated with or without HLM006474. (C) The Cerulean area in the ROI was quantified and compared between zebrafish with SCI treated with or without HLM006474. N = 24 and 22 for zebrafish without and with HLM006474, respectively. #p < 0.05 compared to SCI without HLM006474. |
