Depolymerized HA Rescues the tmem2 Mutant Phenotype (A) Experimental design for hyaluronidase (HA'se) or o-HA injection. (B) Lateral views of entire trunks of sibling and tmem2hu5935 mutant embryos post-injection and imaged at 38–42 hpf. Yellow asterisks indicate the absence of sprouts in uninjected mutants. Representative images demonstrate phenotypic rescue of tmem2hu5935 mutants following injection with HA'se or o-HA. Scale bar, 150 μm. (C) Scatterplots summarizing unaffected siblings in the uninjected (n = 23), HA'se injected (n = 23), o-HA injected (n = 13) or hyaluronidase heat-inactivated (HA'se inact) (n = 26) embryos. (D) Uninjected tmem2hu5935 mutants (n = 19) have significantly fewer ISVs that uninjected siblings. Mutants injected with HA'se (n = 17) or o-HA (n = 14) have significantly rescued phenotypes compared with uninjected mutants. Heat-inactivated HA'se injected mutants were not significantly different from uninjected mutants. ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001; ns, not significant. Error bars represent ±SEM. |
