Fig. 4
The CHT in gata4 morphants shows aberrant expression of runx1 and osteopontin. A-D: Shown are representative control (left panels) or gata4 morphant embryos following in situ hybridization to detect expression of runx1 at 48 hpf (A-B) or spp1 at 36 hpf (C-D). A′-D′ are higher magnification views of the tails from panels A-D, respectively. Asterisks in B′ indicate the presence of remaining runx1+ cells associated with the dorsal aorta in morphants. The strong expression in the tails of runx1 and spp1, indicated by the arrows, was reproducibly noted in 60% and 50% of gata4 morphants, respectively (n = 20 each per experiment). Views are lateral, anterior to the left. |
