Figure 5

Smpx-deficiency causes a reduced mechanotransduction activity of the neuromast hair cells. (A–C) Representative images of FM 4–64 incorporation in one control neuromast (ctrlMO) and two Smpx-deficient (smpxMO) neuromasts at 120 hpf (white rectangles on the right of each single image are magnifications of the corresponding, white-dotted rectangles on the left); compared to the control (A), smpx-morphants (B,C) display a reduced FM 4–64 dye uptake. (D) Quantification of the FM 4–64 dye uptake calculated as fluorescence intensity per each neuromast (n = 10 for both controls and morphants). (A–C) Confocal Z-stacks taken from whole mount larvae. (D) Unpaired t-test was performed to assess statistical significance by setting p ≤ 0.05 (*), p ≤ 0.01 (**), p ≤ 0.001 (***) and p ≤ 0.0001 (****) as significant. Scale bars are 50 µm.
