BRAF^V600E expression in thyrocytes disrupts follicle structure.

(A) Schematic diagram of the constructs used to create transgenic lines, containing a specific zebrafish thyroglobulin promoter (zf tg prom) driving expression of either human BRAF^V600E or TdTomato fluorophore. (B–C) Brightfield micrographs overlayed on to an epifluorescent micrograph of a live 5 dpf tg-TOM and tg-BRAF^V600E-TOM larvae. (D–E) Representative confocal images of 5 dpf fixed tg-TOM and tg-BRAF^V600E-TOM larvae immunostained with anti-T4 antibody; white arrows indicate T4-positive follicles. (F) Quantification of the total follicle number in tg-TOM and tg-BRAF^V600E-TOM larvae (n = 20). (G) Measurement of follicle diameter in tg-TOM and tg-BRAF^V600E-TOM (n = 45 and n = 30, respectively). ***p≤0.001, Student's two-tailed t-test.
