Analyses of cell movement in the anterior lens epithelium of an N-cadherin morphant
Trajectory (upper panels) and displacement (middle panels) of lens epithelial cells in wild-type, namely WT1, and N-cadherin morphant lenses, namely N-cad1 and N-cad3. The N-cad1 lens above is also shown in Figure 3. Blue and yellow colors indicate non-dividing and dividing cell populations, respectively. In the N-cad3 lens, the dividing cell population was unevenly located in the anterior epithelium. (Bottom panels) Displacement length shown in the trajectory of lens epithelial cells. The color range from blue to red corresponds to displacement length from low (0 μm) to high (15 μm), respectively. WT1, N-cad1, and N-cad3 lenses are shown. Yellow arrows indicate cells with longer displacements (>15 μm, red). The WT1 and N-cad1 lenses have a few long-displacement cells only in the peripheral region, whereas the N-cad3 lens has 15 long-displacement cells. Scale: 10 μm.
