Figure 7. Cytoskeletal and Ciliary Feedback Model.
A-C. Schematic representation of mesenchymal cell, highlighting the actin cytoskeleton and primary cilium. A. Wild-type cell with normal distribution of actin cytoskeleton and primary cilia in homeostasis. B. Specc1lΔCCD2/ΔCCD2 cell with abnormal distribution of the actin cytoskeleton including a halo around the nucleus. Distribution of the actin cytoskeleton in the cytoplasm has increased inhibition on ciliogenesis. C. Thm1aln/aln cell showing decreased intensity of the F-actin cytoskeleton and decreased inhibition on the primary cilium, resulting from the IFT-A defect.
