Fig. 4
SHF addition to the arterial pole of the ventricle is reduced in late RA-deficient embryos. (A, B) Representative images of temporal differentiation assay using the myl7:NLS-KikGR transgene in control DMSO (A) and DEAB-treated (B) embryos. White arrowheads indicate region of green-only later-differentiating cardiomyocytes of the SHF at the arterial pole. (A?, B?) Red channel only. (A?, B?) Green channel only. Maximum intensity projections of a Z-stack are shown for each image. Scale bar is 50 ?M. (C) Quantification of green-only cardiomyocytes at 72 hpf in control (n = 30) and DEAB-treated (n = 32) embryos. Error bars represent SEM. ???? indicates p < 0.0001.
