Expression of adamts genes during zebrafish development. Q-RT-PCR for each adamts gene from developmentally staged zebrafish embryo total RNA. Hours = hours post fertilization, Days = days post fertilization. The data are normalized to the 1 cell stage (zygote). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.

Expression of adamts9 and adamts15a genes during zebrafish development. Whole-mount in situ hybridisation of adamts9 and adamts15a in developing zebrafish embryos. A. adamts9 is expressed in the cerebellum (18 and 22 hpf - arrow heads) and rhombic lip (22 hpf - arrow). B. adamts15a is expressed in branchial arch II (24 hpf), branchial arch I and II (48 and 52 hpf) and Meckel’s cartilage (80 hpf - open arrow). Expression was confirmed using two separate mRNA probes to each gene. hpf = hours post fertilization.

Expression of adamts genes in adult zebrafish. RT-PCR of ADAMTS enzymes in adult zebrafish tissues. Total RNA was isolated from adult zebrafish organs and RT-PCR was performed for each adamts enzyme with same primer sets used for quantitative RT-PCR. β- actin was used as a house-keeping gene.
