Retina development in atp7a−/− mutant treated with copper. A TEM analysis of retinal cells in copper-stressed atp7a−/− mutant embryos at 96 hpf. A1-A3, sagittal slides of retina, red color indicating mitochondria and green color indicating ER. B Quantitative PCR of ROS related genes (B1; cox4i2, hmox2, lox, and nrf2), UPR related genes (B2; ire1a, perk, and atf6), and retinal genes (B3; opn1wl1, opn1sw1, opn1sw2 and rhodopsin) in atp7a−/− mutants. C WISH assays of ER stress marker bip and chop in atp7a−/− mutants. D WISH assays of retinal marker (opn1wl1 and opn1sw1) in atp7a−/− mutants. C1-C8, lateral view, anterior to the left, D1-D8, dorsal view, anterior to the up. Scale bar: A1-A3, 1 μm; C1-C8 and D1-D4, 100 μm; **, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05
