Figure 3. Filamentous actin (F-actin) organization in the uveal (UM; left column), corneoscleral (CSM; middle column) and juxtacanalicular meshwork (JCT; right column) after exposure to 1 μM latrunculin-A (Lat-A).

Figure 3

(a–c): Autofluorescent structures (green fibers) and nuclei (green ovals) were unchanged after Lat-A treatment. (d–f): The F-actin cortical network in regions of the UM (d), CSM (e) and JCT (f) was disrupted leaving only punctate cytosolic collections. (g–i) (merge): cortical F-actin association with the autofluorescent structure is absent but punctate collections are prominent. (j–o): Detail of punctate perinuclear F-actin (red) in isolated cells in the absence of cortical actin in the UM (j,k), CSM (l,m) and JCT (n,o). Closed arrowheads: cortical F-actin. Open arrowheads: punctate F-actin. Green: autofluorescent structure and Hoechst-labeled nuclei. Red: F-actin.
