The per2 minimal promoter is light-induced in vivo: quantification of pineal EGFP mRNA levels. Tg(-0.43per2:EGFP)tlv1 embryos were entrained by exposure to two LD cycles. At the beginning of the third day of development, embryos were either exposed to light or kept in darkness. After 2 h (ZT 2 and CT 2) embryos were fixed and subjected to whole mount ISH for egfp mRNA. Signal intensities, determined using ImageJ software, revealed a 22-fold increase in pineal egfp mRNA levels after a 2 h light pulse (n = 16, p<0.01 by ANOVA) relative to pineal egfp expression in the DD controls. Error bars represent SE. Dorsal views of representative whole mounts are shown below. |
