Figure 3From: Removal of Hsf4 leads to cataract development in mice through down-regulation of γS-crystallin and Bfsp expressionIntercross of Hsf4 knockout mouse and rncat mouse. (A) Slit-lamp cataract evaluation of mice with different genotype compositions. Lack of Hsf4 induced a more severe phenotype in heterozygous and homozygous rncat mice. (B) The mRNA levels of γS-crystallin in the Hsf+/+, rncat/rncat, Hsf4-/-/rncat/rncat, and Hsf4-/-/rncat/+ mice were analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Back to article page
