Coimmunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy of Neblex3-knockout (KO) hearts after exercise. A: vinculin (VCL; green) and DES (red) coexpression. In Nebl+/+ mice, double-headed arrows indicate well-organized DES and VCL at focal adhesions adjacent to Z-disks (4th column). In Neblex3-/ex3- hearts, diminished VCL (asterisks) is seen at fewer focal adhesions. Bar = 20 μm. B: nebulette (NEBL; green) and α-actinin2 (red) coexpression. In Nebl+/+ mice, arrows indicate α-actinin2 and NEBL overlap (yellow) in well-organized Z-disks (4th column). In Neblex3-/ex3- heart, disruption of α-actinin2 and NEBL is indicated by the asterisk. Bar = 10 μm.
