Ectopic valvular tissue growths occur in adult zebrafish overexpressing the bmpr1aap.R438H variant within endocardium. (A,B) Electron microscopic images of adult zebrafish hearts with (A) Tg(fli1a:Gal4FF)ubs3; Tg(UAS:bmpr1aaWT_IRES_EGFP)md65; Tg(7xTCF-Xia.Sia:NLS-mCherry)ia5 or (B) Tg(fli1a:Gal4FF)ubs3; Tg(UAS:bmpr1aap.R438H_IRES_EGFP)md60; Tg(7xTCF-Xia.Sia:NLS-mCherry)ia5. M = myocardium. Scale bar = 100 µm. (A′,B′) Magnified view of the atrioventricular valve. L = valve leaflet. Scale bar = 20 µm. (A) Adult zebrafish hearts with endothelial overexpression of bmpr1aaWT do not have any obvious morphological changes. (B′) 3 out of 8 analysed adult zebrafish hearts overexpressing bmpr1aap.R438H have ectopic valvular tissue growth at the atrioventricular valve (arrows). (C) Numbers of zebrafish hearts overexpressing either bmpr1aap.R438H or bmpr1aaWT with ectopic valvular tissue growth. None out of 7 analysed zebrafish hearts overexpressing bmpr1aaWT had ectopic valvular tissue growths (p = 0.200, fisher’s exact test). |
