Fig. 6. Histological analysis of the inner ear epithelial columns in dfna5
morphants. Cross-sections of lateral semicircular canals at day 6 of wild-type
(A,C) and dfna5 GT-MO injected (B,D) embryos. (A,B) Toluidine Blue
staining of 5 µm sections, indicating a loss of the monolayer of the
epithelium (A,B, arrow) and the basal lamina (A,B, arrowheads) in morphants
(B) compared with wild type (A). (C,D) Structure of the basal lamina in TEM
cross-sections. (C) The wild-type lamina has tightly packed, parallel fibers.
(D) dfna5 morphant basal lamina is disrupted with loose, disorganized
fibers. Scale bar: 20 µm in A,B; 1 µm in C,D.
