Number of erythrocytes (A), neutrophils (B, F, H), macrophages (C), and HSPCs (D), and caspase‐1 activity (E) in
nlrp1 crispant larvae of 2 dpf obtained by injecting one‐cell stage embryos with standard,
nlrp1,
lrrfip1a and/or
lrrfip1b crRNAs/Cas9 complexes. Note that either
lrrfip1a or
lrrfip1b crRNAs/Cas9 complexes target both
lrrfip1 paralogs (see Appendix Fig
S10). (G, H) Larvae were also treated by bath immersion with 100 μM of the caspase‐1 inhibitor VX‐765. Representative images of neutrophils in
lrrfip1 crispant larvae using
Tg(
lyz:dsRED) reporter line are shown in (G). Each dot represents one individual and the means ± SEM for each group are also shown.
P values were calculated by Student's
t‐test. n.s., non‐significant; *
P<0.05; **
P<0.01; ****
P<0.0001.
