Lateral view of Spen-deficient (B,D) and control-injected embryos (A,C) at 72 h post fertilization (hpf). Spen deficiency results in development of a large pericardial edema at 72 hpf (B,D black arrow), while the controls don't display cardiac abnormalities (A,C). (E) 86% (190/221) MO-spensplice- and 79% (145/184) MO-spenATG- injected embryos display the same cardiac phenotype. Embryos with pericardial edema, bradycardia, and impaired contractility were counted as affected. (F) Efficacy of morpholino-mediated knockdown experiments was confirmed by Western Blot analysis; representative immunoblots are shown. (G) Relative quantification of Spen protein levels (n = 3). Images (A,B,C,D,F) have been cropped. Assessment of significance by chi-squared test (E) or t-test (G). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. |
