Fig. 6From: Lrpap1 deficiency leads to myopia through TGF-β-induced apoptosis in zebrafishLrpap1 deficiency is associated with the up-regulation of TGF-β. (A) Western blot analysis of TGF-β in the eyes of lrpap1 mutants and wild-type zebrafish two months and three months post-fertilization. (B) Relative quantitative result of TGF-β protein. n = 8 for wild-type zebrafish and n = 8 for mutants. Statistical significance was determined using the Student’s t-test. *p < 0.05. β-Actin was used as the internal control. WT, wild-type; MU, lrpap1 homozygous mutant; 2 m, two months; 3 m, three monthsBack to article page
