The effects of aminoacylation-deficient mValRS (ValRSAD) in zebrafish. A) Zebrafish injected with mValRSAD mRNA (n=24) were stained with acridine orange at 1 dpf. Zebrafish are aligned based on cell death severity and zebrafish morphology; normal (top), increased cell death (middle), increased cell death with abnormal morphology (bottom). Scale bar represents 500 µm. B) Quantification of acridine orange staining. Zebrafish were uninjected, or injected with mValRSWT or mValRSAD mRNAs. Bars represent mean ± SEM. C) RT-PCR results of p53 downstream markers p21, gadd45, p53R2, bax and mdm2 in zebrafish injected with mValRSWT or mValRSAD mRNA. All data are normalized to a value of 1.0 for the uninjected sample.
