Fig. 3 Vsx1 expression in the zebrafish retina. (A-D)vsx1 in situ hybridization in 24 hours post-fertilization (hpf) (A), 46 hpf (B), 62 hpf (C) and 80 hpf (D) Tg(vsx1:GFP) transgenic embryos shows complete co-localisation of vsx1 RNA and Vsx1 driven GFP expression. (E-I)Whole-mount lateral view of the Tg(vsx1:GFP) retina of zebrafish embryos counterstained with DAPI (blue) reveals expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in a subpopulation of retinal progenitor cells from 24 to 48 hpf as well as differentiated neurons at 72 and 96 hpf. (H-L)Cryosections through the central retina of Tg(vsx1:GFP) reveal GFP expression in cell bodies in the outer INL and processes in the OPL and IPL (arrows). GFP is also expressed in a few cells in the inner half of the INL (some indicated by asterisks). (J-L) Tg(vsx1:GFP) retinas at 80 hpf labelled with protein kinase C (PKC)β1 (J), calretinin (K) and Sox2 (L). Vsx1:GFP cells co-label with PKC-positive bipolar cells and calretinin-positive amacrine cells, but not with Sox2-labelled Müller cells. GCL, ganglion cell layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; ipl, inner plexiform layer; L, lens; ONL, outer nuclear layer; opl, outer plexiform layer. Scale bars: (A-I) 100 μm; (J-L) 40 μm.
