Bace2 Acts during Melanophore Differentiation

(A) At 24 hpf, ISH shows the bace2^−/− mutants have unaffected expression for neural crest markers crestin and sox10.

(B) But at 72 hpf, ISH shows mRNA for the pigmentation genes dct and pmela are elevated in bace2^−/− mutants, especially in the head (arrowhead).

(C and D) Consistently, bace2^−/− mutants have increased numbers of pigmented melanophores in the head (arrowhead). Fish number n(WT) = 55, n(bace2^−/−) = 30, two-tailed t test, ^∗∗p < 0.01.

(E) Treatment of WT embryos with 100 μM Bace2 inhibitor (PF-06663195) from 48 to 72 hpf is sufficient to phenocopy bace2^−/−. Data are from two independent experiments, with total fish numbers: n(DMSO) = 21, n(shield-24h) = 45, n(shield-48h) = 56, n(shield-72h) = 72, n(24h-48h) = 58, n(24h-72h) = 40, n(48h-72h) = 49; one-way ANOVA followed by Holm-Sidak's multiple comparisons test, ^∗∗p < 0.01. All bar graphs are presented as means ± SEM. Scale bars, 200 μm.
