Fig. 4. ptc-3(RNAi) reduces LD in the gut and induces changes in the ER structure.

Fig. 4

A Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of adult mock and ptc-3(RNAi) treated animals after L2 stage reveal a reduction of reticulate ER structures and LD in ptc-3(RNAi) animals. This phenotype is rescued by the omission of cholesterol in the medium. ER endoplasmic reticulum, LD lipid droplet, M mitochondria, G Golgi. Scale bars 200 nm. n = 4 (mock) and 6 (ptc-3(RNAi)) animals. B Reconstitution of ER membranes from FIB-SEM images of mock and ptc-3(RNAi) treated animals using machine learning. ptc-3(RNAi) induces sheet-like ER structures.
