Recovery of zebrafish locomotive behavior after SCI was inhibited by treatment with E2F4 inhibitor. (A) Protocol for the assessment of zebrafish locomotive behavior. Zebrafish were placed in each well of a 48-well-plate. The plate was set in a device to monitor the behavior of zebrafish in real-time. In the device, the plate was illuminated for 30 min for acclimatization, followed by five sets of dark (3 min) and light (3 min) periods. Zebrafish with SCI (B–D) or without SCI (E–G) were treated with an E2F4 inhibitor HLM006474 (5 μM) or with vehicle. The distance moved during the base (30 min, B,E), dark periods (15 min, C,F) or light periods (15 min, D,G) are shown. N = 36 for each group with SCI and eight for each group without SCI. #p < 0.05 compared to SCI without HLM006474.
