FIGURE 7

Knockdown of vwa1 leads to disorganization of pharyngeal chondrocytes at 4 dpf. (A) In uninjected control embryos at 4 dpf, craniofacial cartilage had formed and showed a very stereotypic shape between individuals, exhibiting the characteristic “stack of pennies” organization in which thin and elongated chondrocytes are assembled on top of one another to form their respective cartilage element. (B) In vwa1 morphants, the size and length-width ratio of many cartilage chondrocytes were smaller and the cartilage elements were greatly deformed compared with those of uninjected controls.
