TBK1/IKK? inhibitors promote ?-cell replication. (A?D) Confocal images of [Tg(ins:CFP-NTR)s892; Tg(ins:Kaede)jh6] larvae at 48 hpa, concurrently treated with EdU and DMSO (A), BX795 (B), amlexanox (C), or PIAA (D), respectively, from 0?48 hpa. The number of ?-cells that incorporated EdU (white arrows) was substantially increased in TBK1/IKK?-I-treated recovering larvae (B?D) compared to DMSO-treated larvae (A). (E) Quantification of the number (mean?±?SD) of total regenerated ?-cells (green) and regenerated ?-cells that incorporated EdU (yellow) at 48 hpa (in A-D; 5.0?±?1.3 total regenerated ?-cells, of which 0.7?±?0.5 (DMSO), 11.0?±?3.4, of which 4.6?±?1.8 (BX795), 12.8?±?4.8, of which 5.2?±?2.8 (amlexanox), and 20.6?±?3.1, of which 11.0?±?1.9 (PIAA) incorporated EdU). (F) The percentage (mean?±?SD) of regenerated ?-cells that incorporated EdU at 48 hpa (in A-D; 13.0?±?11.0% (DMSO), 42.0?±?5.0% (BX795), 39.0?±?7.0% (amlexanox), and 55.0?±?14.0% (PIAA)). Cells in 20 planes of confocal images from 10 individual larvae were counted per condition. **P?<?0.01; ***P?<?0.001.
