In vivo fluorescence imaging of the triple-Tg zebrafish line.

Bright-field images of triple-Tg zebrafish exposed to the maximum tolerable concentrations of chemicals during early development. (A) Experimental protocol. (B) Triple-Tg zebrafish were treated with the indicated chemicals at their maximum tolerable concentrations from 12 hpf to 5 dpf. The animals were then anesthetized and subjected to in vivo bright-field imaging using a stereomicroscope.

Quantification of in vivo fluorescence imaging of triple-Tg zebrafish exposed to chemicals at the maximum tolerable concentrations during early development. Triple-Tg zebrafish were treated as described for Figure 3 and subjected to in vivo fluorescence imaging at 5 dpf. The fluorescence signals for CFP (A), RFP (B), YFP (C), RFP/CFP ratio (D), YFP/CFP ratio (E), and YFP/RFP ratio (F) were quantified and normalized to the mean signals in the untreated control zebrafish group (CNT). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of 4–77 zebrafish/chemical.

Hierarchical clustering of chemicals based on their effects on Cerulean (CFP), mCherry (RFP), and mCitrine (YFP) expression in triple-Tg zebrafish. The normalized score of six fluorescence parameters (CFP, RFP, YFP, RFP/CFP, YFP/CFP, and YFP/RFP) from triple-Tg zebrafish exposed to chemicals at their MTC from 12 hpf to 5 dpf were subjected to hierarchical clustering using Manhattan distance with average linkage.
