Trajectories of four or five cilia in each cell are shown. mEPCs in which the majority of motile cilia displayed rotational movement were considered ‘cells with rotational cilia’. Diagrams illustrate the corresponding ciliary beat patterns. 60 cells from 3 mice (per genotype) were scored using ImageJ. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and quantifications of ciliary axonemes in mEPCs serum-starved for 10 days (E, F) and in tracheal multiciliated cells (MCCs) (G, H) from WT, Ccdc108 KO, Mycbpap KO, and Cfap70 KO mice. Arrowheads indicate the positions of the C2 projections. At least 50 axonemes from 3 mice (per genotype) were scored. Data in (B, D, F, H) are presented as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA with a Dunnett’s test was performed. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant.
