uhrf1 loss disrupts hepatocyte nucleoli and laminB2 organization. (A). Control and uhrf1−/− hepatocyte nuclei scored at 80, 96, and 120 hpf for the number of nucleoli per hepatocyte. (B). Differential expression of nucleoli-associated genes in 120 hpf uhrf1−/− livers, nc: not significantly changed (C). Control and uhrf1−/− hepatocyte nuclei scored at 80, 96, and 120 hpf for the presence of normal lamina. (D,E). Confocal images comparing the immunostaining of LaminB2 in 120 hpf uhrf1−/− and dnmt1−/− livers with their respective WT controls. (F). Quantitative changes in LaminB2 staining in 120 hpf uhrf1−/− and dnmt1−/− hepatocyte nuclei. The numbers of LaminB2 positive nuclei are indicated below each bar. White arrows mark LaminB2 positive hepatocyte nuclei. All analyses were performed on 2 or 3 clutches, with minimum 3 livers analyzed per clutch. ** p < 0.005, *** p < 0.0005, **** p < 0.00005. Magnification: 63×, Scale bar: 7 μm.
