Fgf Signal Transduction Is Progressively Lost in extl3/ext2 Mutant Prim

(A-B′) ZO-1 staining reveals apical constrictions (white arrows) in 48 hpf extl3/ext2 neuromasts and prim rosettes, but not in interneuromast clumps (yellow arrow).

(C-D′) LL hair cells precursors are present in 48 hpf extl3/ext2 mutants, as evidenced by atoh1a and s100t expression. Black arrows in (C), (D), and (D′) indicate the position of the prim.

(E-H′′) Dp-ERK staining reveals remaining low levels of Fgf signaling in the 48 hpf prim. Dp-ERK is progressively downregulated as rosettes collapse (E′′-H′′). By 5 dpf, no protein remains inside the prim (H′).

(I-J′) By 3 dpf, most of the formed hair cells die inside the collapsing neuromast.

(I′ and J′) Neuromasts outlined in the white boxes in (I) and (J).

(K-L′) Inhibition of Fgf signaling accelerates the onset of the extl3/ext2 phenotype. extl3/ext2 mutants and their siblings treated with SU5402 from 28 to 34 hpf show complete upregulation of the Wnt target lef1.
