Fig. 5 Synergistic effects of nkx6 knockdown on alpha-cells. A–D: Ventral views of WISHs showing expression ofglucagon at 30 hpf in control morphants (A) and in morphants injected with 0.3 ng Mo2 6.1 (B), with 0.1 ng Mo1 6.2 (C), or with both simultaneously (D). Scale: 20 μm. E: Number of glucagon-expressing cells in these various morphants (the horizontal line represents the mean). The presented data are representative of at least two reproducible and independent experiments. F: Quantitative analysis of glucagon and insulin expression in 30 hpf embryos, expressed as percentages (100% being arbitrarily fixed as the number of cells in control embryos), following simultaneous injections of Mo2 6.1 and Mo1 6.2 at increasing concentrations. The presented data are representative of at least three reproducible and independent experiments.
