Figure 5From: Chromatin remodeling enzyme Brg1 is required for mouse lens fiber cell terminal differentiation and its denucleationDisruption of fiber cell nuclei degradation in embryonic and postnatal dnBrg1 transgenic lenses. Lens midsections from both wild-type and Brg1DN mice from embryonic day 15. 5 (A and B), embryonic day 17.5 (C-F) and postnatal day P7 (G-H) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Failure of fiber cell nuclei degradation (H, arrows) and organelle-free zone formation was observed in the transgenic mice from embryonic stage E17.5 and persisted in postnatal stages.
