Loss of nf1 accelerates disease onset and increases the penetrance of MYCN-induced neuroblastoma. (A) Representative fish of nf1a+/+;nf1b+/+;GFP, nf1a+/+;nf1b+/+;MYCN;GFP, nf1a-/-;nf1b+/+;GFP and nf1a-/-;nf1b+/+;MYCN;GFP genotypes at 5 weeks of age.The interrenal glands (IRGs) are highlighted with dashed circles. (B) H&E-stained sagittal sections of a 10-week old nf1a+/+;nf1b+/+;GFP fish (left) and a 10-week old nf1a-/-;nf1b+/-;GFP;MYCN fish (middle) and 63-fold magnified tumor cells (right), which are magnified from the area in the small white box in the middle panel. (C) Cumulative frequency of neuroblastoma in MYCN transgenic zebrafish representing all eight nf1 genotypes generated by the breeding of the nf1a+/-;nf1b+/-;MYCN line with the nf1a+/-;nf1b+/- zebrafish line (*p<0.0001 nf1a-/-;nf1b+/+ vs. nf1a+/+;nf1b+/+). |
