Figure 4. Cytoplasmic calcium chelation rescues motility defects in tau^wt-expressing larvae. (A) Mitochondrial activity is increased in tau^wt-expressing L4 nematodes upon 10 mM EGTA supplementation. Locomotion defects are ameliorated in both (B) L1 and (C) L4 tau^wt-expressing nematodes in response to 10 mM EGTA treatment (n = 50; ^***P < 0.0001; unpaired t-test). (D) Representative images of wild type and tau^wt-expressing nematodes tracks with or without 10 mM EGTA treatment. (E) Velocity assessment of wild type and tau^wt-expressing nematodes with or without 10 mM EGTA treatment (n = 8; NS P > 0.05, ^*P < 0.03; unpaired t-test).
