depdc5 Knockout Alters Gene Expression in Larval Brains without Affecting Brain Morphology
(A) Volcano plot showing the differentially expressed gene expression profile between depdc5+/+ and depdc5−/− larval brains. See also Table S1.
(B) Pathways showing high enrichment in the differentially expressed genes (upregulated are shown in green; downregulated are in red).
(C) Whole-mount images of depdc5+/+ and −/− larvae at different stages of development immunostained with α-acetylated tubulin (n > 3/genotype/developmental stage). Scale bars, 40 μm.
(D) Measurement of head size and head surface area in 3-dpf depdc5+/+ and depdc5−/− larvae.
(E) Whole-mount images of 48-hpf depdc5+/+ and −/− larvae immunostained with α-phosphorylated histone H3 (n > 3/genotype).
(F) Cresyl violet staining comparing 7-dpf depdc5+/+ (top half) and depdc5−/− (bottom half) larval heads showed no gross difference in the density of cells in the brain. Scale bar, 100 μm.
