Imaging single chromosome dynamics in live larvae. a The DNA constructs were used to express telomere, centromere, and truncated telomere markers. be One-plane view of a representative neuron that expresses cellular tagRFP (magenta) and nuclear EGFP-Terfa (yellow) telomeric markers in live larvae. fi Co-localization of zebrafish (f) and human (g) telomeric markers in the nucleus of a zebrafish neuron. jl Co-expression of truncated zebrafish (j) and human (k) telomeric markers. mp Co-expression of centromere (m) and telomere (n) markers. Dorsal (q) and lateral (spinal cord, r) views of 6-dpf tg(HuC:Gal4)/tg(uas:EGFP-Terfa) larvae (Te telencephalon, Rh rhombencephalon, SC spinal cord). s Live time-lapse imaging of a single neuron nucleus shows the movement of chromosomes measured over 9.5 min. Dashed box shows high magnification of a single trajectory. t 3D single-particle tracking (SPT) shows the volume of motion of chromosomes in a single nucleus. u In all Te and Rh neurons, the time-averaged mean square displacement (MSD) for telomeres trajectory (Te: n = 340 chromosomes, Rh: n = 475 chromosomes). Lines represent the means, and the shaded area represents the standard deviation (SD). Scale bar = 1 µm

Chromosome dynamics are essential for reducing the number of accumulating DSBs. ac Dorsal view of 6 dpf larvae stained with γH2AX. a Arrows indicate the telencephalon (Te) and rhombencephalon (Rh). Dashed box showing the Rh represents the area analyzed in d and e. Representative images from the Rh region during day (b) and night (c) are shown. Dashed circle indicates a single neuron. d The number of DSBs (P = 1 × 10−16, F = 118, degrees of freedom = 7) and chromosome dynamics (*P = 8 × 10−7, F = 7, degrees of freedom = 7) in single nuclei over 24 h, in 14 h light/10 h dark cycle. Determined by one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey test. Lower case letters indicate significant changes between γH2AX groups. Asterisks indicate significant changes between chromosome dynamics groups. White and black horizontal bars represent light and dark periods, respectively. e Numbers of DSBs (dot plot, means ± SEM). Ctrl: day (n = 83 cells), night (n = 131 cells), subjective day (n = 105 cells). SD: day (n = 86 cells), night (n = 170 cells), subjective day (n = 135 cells). P = 1 × 10−6, F = 62.04, degrees of freedom = 2, determined by two-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey test. White, black, and gray rectangles represent day, night, and subjective day, respectively. Dotted white line represents the sleep deprivation (SD) period. fh Co-expression of Lap2β-EGFP (f) and human telomeric markers (g) in SC-neuronal nucleus. i Volume of chromosome dynamics in control (Lap2β−, day: n = 25; night: n = 21 cells) and Lap2β-overexpressing cells (Lap2β+, day: n = 25; night: n = 19 cells). *P = 0.026, F = 5.1, degrees of freedom = 1, determined by two-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey test. jl Representative images of double immunohistochemistry using α-γH2AX (magenta) and α-EGFP (green) in single SC neurons during day (j) and night (k, l). Dashed circle indicates a single nucleus. m The number of DSBs (dot plot, means ± SEM) in control (Lap2β−, day: n = 177; night: n = 177 cells) and Lap2β-overexpressing cells (Lap2β+, day: n = 17; night: n = 49 cells). *P = 1 × 10−6, F = 18.8, degrees of freedom = 1, determined by two-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey test. Zeitgeber time (ZT4)-day, ZT18-night. Boxplots: black diamond represents the mean, boxes indicate the median and the 25th-to-75th percentiles, whiskers extend to the most extreme data points. Letters or asterisks indicate significant differences. Scale bar = 1 µm
