MMP-13 overexpression and rescue of skin phenotypes by MMP-13 inhibition. (A) In the left gel image, RT-PCR for detection of wild-type and nonfunctional mmp13aΔ373 mRNA in which 709 bp are deleted. Both samples contain endogenous mmp13a mRNA. The cDNA was prepared from pools of 15 larvae at 6 h postfertilization (hpf). In the right gel image, mmp13a was amplified from 2-dpf larvae and from an mmp13a-containing plasmid, serving as positive control. (B) Scheme of MMP-13 structural domains and deletion in mmp13aΔ373. (C) Altered fin morphology induced by paclitaxel incubation is rescued upon coadministration of DB04760 for either 3 or 96 h, as assessed by scanning electron microscopy. (Scale bar, 25 µm.)
