(A) Knockdown of Zic5 impairs RPE layer differentiation as marked by RPE65 immunostaining. The lens is outlined with white oval. Quantification of relative RPE65 fluorescence intensity with one-way ANOVA (Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test), ****, P < 0.0001. Scatterplots represent means ± s.d from three biological repeats. ns: no statistical differences between the groups. Scale bar, 40μm
(B) Knockdown of Zic5 impairs rod photoreceptor layer differentiation as marked by Rhodopsin immunostaining. Quantification of relative rhodopsin fluorescence intensity with one-way ANOVA (Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test), ****, P < 0.0001. Scatterplots represent means ± s.d from three biological repeats. ns: no statistical differences between the groups. Scale bar, 40μm
(C) Zic5 knockout impairs RPE layer differentiation as marked by RPE65 immunostaining. Quantification of relative RPE65 fluorescence intensity with unpaired t test, ****, P < 0.0001, scale bar, 40μm. Scatterplots represent means ± s.d from three biological repeats.
(D) Zic5 knockout impairs rod photoreceptor layer differentiation as marked by Rhodopsin immunostaining. Quantification of relative rhodopsin fluorescence intensity with unpaired t test, ****, P < 0.0001, scale bar, 40μm. Scatterplots represent means ± s.d from three biological repeats.
