The Fibronectin partner integrin β3 is expressed during heart regeneration. (A and B) itgb3 expression by in situ hybridization in uninjured (A) and 7 dpa (B) ventricles. (C) Visualization of embryonic itgb3:EGFP-expressing cells (green). Boxed areas indicates a higher magnification view of the heart (area 1), pectoral fin (area 2) and posterior fin fold (area 3). (D and E) Visualization of itgb3:EGFP+ cells (green) in uninjured (D) and 7 dpa (E) ventricles. Insets: high magnification of the boxed area. Blue arrows indicate EGFP-positive cells. Yellow arrows indicate EGFP and MHC double-positive cells, indicative of cardiomyocytes. Dashed line indicates approximate resection plane. Scale bars: 50 μm. |
