The hearts of popdc2 morphants display a variety of cardiac conduction defects. SPIM videos of the heart of zebrafish embryos injected with (A) control (CTR) and (B–D) MO1-popdc2 morpholino in the Tg(cmlc2:gCaMP)s878 background. The individual movies (see SI Movie 5, Movie 6, Movie 7 and Movie 8) were processed to determine the fluorescence intensity of selected regions of the heart over time. Each selected region has a corresponding number plotted below. (A) In a control (CTR), fluorescence intensity varies with time in atrial and ventricular regions as the depolarization wave propagates through the heart. (B) Heart displaying a single incidence (asterisks) of a 4:1 AV block. (C) Heart displaying alternating phases of normal conduction and 2:1 AV block (asterisks). Both hearts depicted in (B) and (C) also display irregular atrial conduction waves. (D) Example of a 6 dpf heart with sinoatrial block (asterisk).The hearts of popdc2 morphants display a variety of cardiac conduction defects.
