Validation of ndrg4-MO2 (knockdown by splice-blocking). (A) Schematic of the strategy to target the exon3–intron3 boundary with ndrg4-MO2. Arrows represent primers used in the RT-PCR to test the efficiency of ndrg4 splice-blocking MO2 and the orange bar represents the ndrg4-MO2. (B) The RT-PCR was performed on wild-type embryos and embryos injected with 3.2–12.0 ng of the ndrg4-MO2. The ndrg4-MO2 efficiently blocks ndrg4 mRNA splicing by exon3 deletion in a dose-dependent manner. Bands of 345 bp and 224 bp represent wildtype and exon3-deleted ndrg4 mRNA, respectively. (C) Sequencing of the 224 bp band reveals direct connection of exon 2 and exon 4.
