R402Hmod/R402Hmod embryos have an increase in the number of apoptotic cells. (a–c) Representative coronal sections from E16.5 embryos stained for the apoptotic cell marker cleaved-caspase 3. (a) Wild-type (+/+); (b) heterozygous (R402Hwt/+), and (c) homozygous (R402Hwt/R402Hwt) animals contain very few caspase-3-positive cells. (d) Quantification of caspase-3-positive cells shows no significant different between homozygous animals and control littermates. (e–g) Coronal sections from Tuba1a modified embryos stained for Caspase-3. (e) wild-type (+/+); (f) heterozygous (R402Hmod/+) and (g) homozygous (R402Hmod/R402Hmod) animals. (h) Quantification shows that homozygous R402Hmod/R402Hmod have a significant increase in the number of caspase-3-positive cells compared to wildtype and heterozygous R402Hmod/R402H+ littermates. P < 0.01**. Error bars show Mean ± SEM. Scale bars indicate 50 μm.
