The lkb1-mutant larvae are not hypoxic. Whole-mount in situ hybridization for expression of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1α) target genes ldha and ndufa4 in WT (A and D), lkb1-mutant (B and E) and von Hippel–Lindau (vhl)-mutant (C and F) embryos. Lateral views, anterior to the left. (A) WT embryo at 7 dpf stained for ldha1; expression is detected in the brain. The same pattern is observed in lkb1 embryos at 7 dpf (B), whereas vhl-mutant embryos that exhibit constitutive activation of the hypoxia program show up-regulation of ldha1 expression throughout the embryo (C). (D) WT embryo at 7 dpf showing expression of ndufa4 in the brain. The same pattern is observed in lkb1-mutant embryos at 7 dpf, whereas vhl-mutant embryos show widespread up-regulation of ndufa4 expression.
