Spontaneous endocytosis in not altered in Nampt−/− cKO mice. (A–C) Motor endplate and nerve terminal from Namptf/f (A), Nampt−/− cKO and NMN-treated Nampt−/− cKO mice (B,C). nAChRs were labeled with α-BTX conjugated with Alexa 555 (top row) and nerve terminal of the corresponding motor endplate were stained with FM1-43 dye (middle row). Merged images of NMJ from α-BTX and FM1-43 images were shown in bottom row. Images were taken 30 minutes of incubation without nerve stimulation. (D) Mean fluorescence increase in nerve terminal of Namptf/f (29.6 ± 2.4, n = 34), Nampt−/− cKO (30.0 ± 2.9, n = 27), and NMN-treated Nampt−/− cKO (29.9 ± 2.9, n = 36) mice. n is the number of nerve terminals from 3–4 mice.
