(A-D”) In adult retina, at 48 and 72 hours post ablation (hpa), the number of proliferating cells marked by PCNA (pink) and Müller glia (MG) cells marked by glial fibrillary acidic protein transgene expressing (GFAP, green) are not significantly altered between standard control (SC, 48hpa n = 9, 6.621 ±0.9034, 72hpa n = 8, m = 12.27 ±2.579) and her6 morpholino (MO, 48 hpa n = 14, m = 6.59 ±0.5219, 72 hpa n = 14, m = 9.299 ±1.1) electroporated samples quantified in (E). (F-G’) In her6 MO samples, there was a significantly increase in zpr1 (pink, n = 12, 13.97 ±2.202) labelled cone photoreceptors compared to SC (n = 7, 7.809 ±1.938), quantified in H. (I-L) There was also an increase in phospho-histone 3 (PH3, pink) marking mitotic cells in the her6 MO (48hpa, n = 11, 1.519 ±0.3166, 72hpa n = 12, 2.806 ±0.4442) compared to SC (48hpa n = 11, 0.8812 ±0.2671, 72hpa (SC n = 10, 1.102 ±0.4956) quantified in M. In all micrographs DAPI is used to label nuclei cyan. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05. Scale bars: 50 μm.
