Activation of a Gq-DREADD in ? cells restores proliferation in casr?/?;gcgrDKO zebrafish.
a Diagram of CNO treatment, 20 ?M for 48 h. b Representative images of ? cells in control, Tg?Gq(Tg(gcga:hM3Dq, cryaa:tagRFP));casr?/?;gcgrDKO, and Tg?Gq;gcgrDKO larvae with 20 ?M CNO or vehicle at 5 dpf (scale bar, 10 ?m). c Quantification of ? cell numbers at 5 dpf in control, Tg?Gq;casr?/?;gcgrDKO, and Tg?Gq;gcgrDKO larvae treated with 20 ?M CNO or vehicle for 48 h (data represent the means ± SD, n = 12 for each group). d Representative images of EdU staining at 5 dpf in control, Tg?Gq;casr?/?;gcgrDKO and Tg?Gq; gcgrDKO larvae treated with 20 ?M CNO or vehicle for 48 h. EdU (red)-positive ? cells are indicated by arrows (scale bar, 10 ?m). e Quantification of EdU-positive ? cell numbers at 5 dpf in control, Tg?Gq;casr?/?;gcgrDKO, and Tg?Gq;gcgrDKO larvae treated with 20 ?M CNO or vehicle for 48 h (data represent the means ± SD, n = 8 for each group). ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, NS indicates no significant difference (One-way ANOVA, Tukey?s multiple comparisons test, the quantifications represent individual islet sections).
