Endothelial and vascular expression of syk rescues angioblasts migration in vegfa morphants. (A–B) Compared to 30 hpf wildtype Tg(fli1:egfp)y1 embryos with complete ISVs (A), vegfa morphants lack any ISV sprouting (B). (C–D) Expression of a C-terminal tagged syk under the control of a vascular fli1 promoter (fli1:syk:myc, C) or a blood gata1 promoter (gata1:syk:myc, D) in single celled embryos injected with 4 ng of vegfa morpholino results in increased number of ISV sprouting (white arrow). Expression of the fli1:syk:myc construct is detected by immunohistochemistry against the myc tag (red, C, D). The large myc-expressing cells visible in the dorsal and mid-trunk of gata:syk injected embryos are superficial and do not represent expression of the transgene in blood vessels, while ventral myc expression cells are within the axial vessels. |
