Cardiac function deficits are observed by 4 dpf in pomp and psmd6 mutants. A.-F. Brightfield views of hearts taken from videos of 3 dpf and 4 dpf larvae. A’-F’ panels show ventricles outlined in red. Arrowheads in E’ and F’ point to edema. Scale bars = 100 μm. G.-I. Graphs showing ventricular area, heart rate, and ventricular fractional area change (FAC) measurements at 3 dpf. Each dot represents the average of 3 measurements from a single heart/larva. Bars represent mean +/- SEM. Animals were genotyped after video recordings. N = 13 for pomp control (+/+). N = 7 for psmd6 control (+/+). N = 7 for pomp-/-. N = 8 for psmd6-/-. * P < 0.05. J.-L. Graphs showing ventricular area, heart rate, and ventricular FAC measurements at 4 dpf. Each dot represents the average of 3 measurements from a single heart/larva. Bars represent mean +/- SEM. Animals were genotyped after video recordings. N = 12 for all conditions: pomp control (+/+ and +/-), psmd6 control (+/+ and +/-), pomp-/-, and psmd6-/-. ** P < 0.01; **** P < 0.0001.
