sim1a morphants display drastic developmental defects and abnormal kidney function. (A) A live time course shows the typical morphological phenotypes exhibited by sim1a morphants at different time points – open arrowhead demarcates darkened regions within the head; solid arrowhead indicates small head and eye phenotypes; solid arrow marks the presence of edema. (B) Kidney function in sim1a morphants was analyzed by a 40 kDa dextran-FITC uptake assay where injections were performed at approximately 38 hpf. sim1a morphants displayed partial PCT reabsorption (dorsal inset view) and reduced renal clearance of dextran-FITC over time, with persistent fluorescence throughout the head, trunk and pericardium when compared to wild-types. White lines indicate either the PCT domain in relation to the somites or the PCT morphology at given time points. Embryo anterior is to the left. Abbreviations: hpf – hours post fertilization; hpi – hours post injection; PCT – proximal convoluted tubule. |
