A Beating Heart Is Required for HSC Formation and Artery Development (A–H) Effect of sih mutation on HSC and vascular formation at 36 hpf. (A and E) runx1/cmyb expression is greatly reduced in sih-/- embryos compared to WT siblings. (B and F) flk1 expression reveals a grossly normal vascular pattern in sih-/- embryos; changes in the development of the intersomitic vessels and vascular plexus were noted in some animals. (C and F) ephB2 expression is diminished in sih-/- embryos. (D and H) flt4 expression is expanded in sih-/- embryos. (I) The expression levels of HSC (runx1, cmyb), vascular (flk), and arterial (ephB2) markers are significantly decreased in sih-/- embryos compared to sibling controls (mean ± SD, t test, p < 0.05, n = 3), as measured by qPCR at 36 hpf. (J and K) The sih mutation has no effect on primitive hematopoiesis as seen by benzidine staining at 36 hpf; in the absence of a heartbeat blood is pooled in the major vessels. |
