Erbb2 is expressed by all blastemal cells including macrophages, and particularly pro-inflammatory macrophages.aTg(mpeg1:mCherry-F/tnfa:eGFP-F) larvae were amputated or not (control) at 3 dpf, and cells were dissociated at 6 or 24 hpA and sorted by FACS. Red, green, and black gates represent mCherry+, mCherry+eGFP+, and mCherry−eGFP−cell populations, respectively. Relative expression of b, enrg1, c, ferbb2, and d, gerbb3 in mCherry−eGFP−, mCherry+ and mCherry+eGFP+ cells at 6 hpA b, c, d and 24 hpA e, f, g was quantified by RT-PCR on separated cells using ef1a as reference gene. b, c, d Graphs represent the mean value ± SEM, n = 200-300 pooled larvae from 4 independent experiments; one-tailed Mann-Whitney test was performed, p = 0.0286, *p < 0.05. e, f, g Graphs represent the mean value ± SEM, n = 200–300 pooled larvae from 6 independent experiments; one-tailed Mann-Whitney test was performed, ep = 0.0143, fp = 0.0465, *p < 0.05.
