miR-221 is not required for arteriovenous differentiation. (A) Whole mount in situ hybridization of embryos injected with 10 ng of control (left) or miR-221 (right) morpholino. Embryos were fixed at 28 hpf and subjected to whole mount in situ hybridization using DIG-labeled antisense riboprobes against the indicated transcripts. Lateral views, dorsal is up, anterior to the left. Dorsal aorta and posterior cardinal vein are indicated by a bracket and A or V respectively. ISVs are indicated by arrows in the control panel for kdrl. Scale bar is 50 μm. (B) qRT-PCR quantification of dll4 and flt4 expression at 28 hpf in embryos injected with 10 ng miR-221. MO. Levels are relative to embryos injected with 10 ng control Morpholino. (C) RT-PCR for flt4 and ef1alpha in 28 hpf embryos injected with indicated Morpholinos. (D) Relative levels of miR-221 in embryos at 28 hpf injected with indicated Morpholinos compared to control embryos. |
