Pancreatic β cell mass normalizes to wild type levels at 96 hpf after continual induction of HOT:dnIRS2. (A-B′′) Merged and single channel confocal projections of 96 hpf HOT:dnIRS2 Cre- control (A-A′′) and HOT:dnIRS2 (B-B′′) islets after heat shock at 10 hpf, 24 hpf, 28 hpf, 32 hpf, 36 hpf, 48 hpf, 56 hpf ,72 hpf and 80 hpf. Ubiquitous induction of dnIRS2- GFP occurs only in the Cre+ embryos. (C) Quantification of β cells in 96 hpf HOT:dnIRS2 Cre-control (n=12) and HOT:dnIRS2 (n=10) islets; β cell mass is indistinguishable between the two conditions. Student’s t-test was used to determine significance in C.
