Morpholino (MO) knockdown of pycr in zebrafish affects somatogenesis and cerebral hemorrhage during embryonic stages. (A) Each pycr MO (7.5 ng) was injected into wild-type zebrafish embryos at the 1- to 2-cell stage and evaluated at 48 hours post fertilization (hpf). The major defects of pycr1-morphants (left panel) or pycr3-morphants (right panel) were reduced body length and a curly tail. The pycr2-MO injected embryos exhibited no obvious abnormality, but the morphants shows cerebral hemorrhage (middle panel). Arrows indicate area of hemorrhage. Lateral views of representative wild-type control (Ctrl) or MO-injected fish were photographed at 48 hpf. Bar: 100 µm. (B) Phenotypic distributions of pycr1, pycr2 and pycr3 morphants.
