Lack of Dp427 does not alter the number of protein kinase-α-immunopositive bipolar cells. (A) Representative images of horizontal (N–T) retina cryosections of P5, P10, and 6–7-week-old wild type (wt) and mdx mice immunolabeled for PKC-α. Nuclei are stained in blue (Hoechst). (B,C) Comparative quantitative analysis of the number of PKC-α+ cells/mm of retina between wt and mdx age-matched mice (B) and across post-natal days within the same genotype (C). Cell counts are made in the posterior retina (black boxes in the eye drawing). Data are analyzed by either two-way ANOVA test Sidak post hoc (B) or one-way ANOVA test Tukey post hoc (C) and represented as the mean ± SEM. n = 3–5 independent experiments. ###p ≤ 0.001 (vs. P5); §§p ≤ 0.01, §§§p ≤ 0.001 (vs. P10). Scale bar: 50 μm; insets: 10 μm. OS, outer segment of photoreceptors; IS, inner segment of photoreceptors; NBL, neuroblastic cell layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer.
