Concurrent downregulation of p53 does not affect APPL1 knock-down induced apoptosis.
Forebrain apoptosis assay: Quantitative evaluation of apoptosis in appl1 morphants (8 ng MO1A) in which unspecific cell death is blocked by concurrent knock-down of p53 (MO1A + MOp53: 8 ng MO1A + 4 ng MOp53). Embryos were assigned to one of four cell death categories: wt, moderate, very strong forebrain and systemic apoptosis. 5 independent experiments were carried out. Evaluation of Appl1 knockdown (MO1A: 8 ng MO1A) embryos (presented in Figure 4G) is shown again for comparison. Total amount of embryos scored: n MO1A= 532, n MO1A+Mop53= 486. Error bars indicate standard deviation between experiments. All experiments have been carried out on 54 h zebrafish embryos. Efficient knock-down of p53 by 2 ng of the utilized MOp53 has been previously demonstrated (Nowak et al., 2005).
