Fig. 3

Diverse expression of zebrafish opn4-related genes in the developing retina.

Profile of opn4-related gene expression in the larval retina from 3 to 5 dpf. Following whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization, larvae were embedded in LR gold media and 4 μm sections prepared. In A, the lens and retinal cell layers are indicated (GCL, ganglion cell layer, INL, inner nuclear layer, PCL, photoreceptor cell layer). (A–C) opn4xa is expressed in a small subset of cells in the ganglion cell layer. (D–F) opn4xb is transcribed in bipolar cells in a broad domain of the INL. (G–I) opn4a is expressed in clusters of bipolar cells scattered throughout the INL. (J–L) opn4b transcripts are found in three domains within the INL, where amacrine (arrowhead in L), bipolar (arrow in K) and horizontal cells (open arrowhead in K) are located. (M–O) opn4.1 expression is weakly detected at 3 dpf but, one day later, strong expression is observed in horizontal cells in the outer shell of the INL. Sparse opn4.1 expression is also found in the photoreceptor cell layer.
