Expression of SQSTM1/p62 in the retina of Ppt1 ko mice. (A) SQSTM1/p62-positive aggregates were detectable in the retina of 45-day-old mutants (Ab) and increased in number and size with increasing age of the animals (Ac,Ad). Note that the immunoreactive punctae were restricted to the inner nuclear layer at all ages analyzed (Ab–Ad). Wild-type retinas were devoid of SQSTM1/p62-positive punctae (for a 240-day-old animal, see Aa). (B) There was either no or only partial co-localization of SQSTM1/p62-positive aggregates (Ba) with LAMP1 (Bb) in P240 Ppt1 ko retinas (arrowheads in Ba–Bc). (C) Immunoblot analyses of retinas at P240 confirmed markedly elevated levels of SQSTM1/p62 in mutant retinas when compared to control retinas. GAPDH immunoblotting was performed as a loading control. Positions of the molecular mass markers are indicated. Uncropped blots are shown in Supplementary Fig. 5. gcl: ganglion cell layer; inl: inner nuclear layer; ipl: inner plexiform layer; onl: outer nuclear layer. Scale bar in (Ad) for (Aa–Ad): 100 µm; in (Bc) for (Ba–Bc): 10 µm.
