Endothelial cell death does not play a predominant role in zebrafish circulatory collapse and recovery following a 1 ng dose of PlcHR. (Tg(Fli:EGFP) [41]) and (Tg(Fli:nucEGFP) [Roman et al., 2002]) embryos were injected with 1 or 2 ng of PlcHR, or 2 ng of its catalytic mutant as before (A?C). (A?C) Acridine orange staining detected minimal cell death following the injection of 1 ng PlcHR (A′,B′), ISVs collapsed, but did not regress as in the 2 ng dose (C′), and the endothelial nuclei did not decrease [(A″,B″) and data not shown]. (C,C′,C″) The 2 ng PlcHR dose generated increased cell death, vessel regression, and reduced endothelial cell nuclei. Scale bar indicates 100 μm. |
