Ectopic expression of meis3 in the neural crest partially rescues gut colonization following RA inhibition. (A) Cartoon schematic summarizing injection and treatment experiments. (B-C) Live images of phox2bb:Kaede/mCherry+ 24 hpf embryos injected with (B) pDest-sox10:turq-P2A-mcherry-pA2, or (C) pDest-sox10:meis3-P2A-mcherry-pA2. Lateral views, ot-otic. (D-I) Maximum intensity confocal projections following immunochemistry against mCherry (red) and Hu (cyan) at 75 hpf in larvae expressing (D, F, H) pDest-sox10:turq-P2A-mcherry-pA2, or (E, G, I) pDest-sox10:meis3-P2A-mcherry-pA2, following treatment with DMSO or DEAB, respectively. (H-I) Zoomed in view of the insets from F and G, respectively. Scale bars: 60 μM.
