Fig. 6

Histological analysis of periostin morphants. Sagittal sections of control MO (A and C)- and periostin MO (B and D)-injected embryos at 24 hpf (A and B) and 48 hpf (C and D). Immature myofibers extend the entire length of the somites in control MO-injected embryos (A, black arrows), whereas they are disrupted at irregular intervals in periostin morphants (B, white arrows). In 48-hpf control MO-injected embryos, striated myofibers occupy the somites (C). In 48-hpf periostin morphants, the myoseptum is partly disrupted (D, white arrowheads) and striated myofibrils stretch across the two-somite length. In the ventral part of the myotome, the periostin morphants show less differentiated muscle fibers than the control morphants (D, asterisk, vs. asterisk in C). Abbreviation: NC, notochord. Scale bar: 15 μm.
