Vps33b and Vipar deficient skin disease is not caused by defects in epidermal junctions. A - Claudin-1 and E-cadherin staining in control, Vps33bfl/flERT2 and Vipas39fl/flERT2 skin sections, counterstained with DAPI. Scale bars = 20 μm. Dermo-epidermal junction (dashed line). B - β-catenin staining in control, Vps33bfl/flERT2 and Vipas39fl/flERT2 skin sections counterstained with DAPI. Scale bars = 20 μm. Immunofluorescent images are single z-slices from a z-stack and are representative of results from at least six control and three Vps33bfl/flERT2 and Vipas39fl/flERT2 independent murine biopsies. C - TEER readings of control and Vps33bfl/flERT2 keratinocyte cultures. Results from two experiments are shown with different symbols. D - TEER readings of individual control Vipas39fl/flERT2 keratinocyte cultures. E - TEM images of desmosomes between adjacent keratinocytes in control, Vps33bfl/flERT2 and Vipas39fl/flERT2 epidermis. Scale bars = 400 nm. TEM images are representative of at least two independent murine biopsies per genotype.
