Renal phenotype of the Bbs10 fl/fl ; Cadh16-Cre +/ mice. a PCR genotyping of heterozygous WT (Bbs10 +/+) (Bbs10 fl/+), floxed (Bbs10 fl/fl) mice non-Cre (Cre /) and heterozygous (Cre +/) genotyping (bp base pairs). b 3D image of a kidney section immunostained for Cre (green) and nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue). c 3D image of a kidney section immunostained for the primary cilia (acetylated α-tubulin in red), cytoskeleton (β-tubulin in green) and nuclei counterstained with DAPI (in blue). d Pictures of immunostained kidney sections for AQP2 (green) and β-tubulin (red) from Bbs10 fl/fl ; Cadh16Cre +/ mice. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars 20 µm. e T.E.M. analysis of epithelial cells in the proximal tubule from Bbs10 +/+ ; Cadh16Cre +/and Bbs10 fl/fl ; Cadh16Cre +/ mice. BM basement membrane. f Microalbuminuria levels for of Bbs10 fl/fl ; Cadh16Cre +/ and control Bbs10 +/+ ; Cadh16Cre +/ littermates (n = 6–7 per genotype). g T.E.M. analysis of epithelial cells in the distal tubule from Bbs10 +/+ ; Cadh16Cre +/ and Bbs10 fl/fl ; Cadh16Cre +/ mice. h Creatinine clearance levels (µL/min) and urinary volume under fluid deprivation of Bbs10 fl/fl ; Cadh16Cre +/ and control Bbs10 +/+ ; Cadh16Cre +/ littermates (n = 7–9). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
