miR26a knockdown increases smad1 expression.A) Schematic of miR26a transient knockdown methods. B and C) Relative expression level of miR26a in morpholino and CRISPRi injected embryos at 48 hpf (n = 3). D) Whole mount in situ hybridization staining for smad1 at 48 hpf and 4 dpf shows increased expression of smad1 in miR26a knockdown embryos particularly in the ventral aorta, aortic arches and pharyngeal region (dotted outline). Scale bar represents 200μm. E) Relative expression of smad1 in 48 hpf morphants is increased compared to control embryos (n = 3). F) Relative expression of smad1 in 4 dpf miR26a morphants is increased compared to control embryos (n = 4). RT-qPCR data show the mean ± SEM, Student's two-tailed t-test *p < 0.05, n = number of biological replicates.
