Fig. 3 The vascular system of meprin α2 knockdown embryos exhibits dramatic defects (B, C).

Microangiography (with TRITC-Dextran) revealed a drastically reduced vascular system without any intersegmental blood vessels (B) in meprin α2 morphants, compared to the non-injected wild type zebrafish (A). Additionally, erythrocytes accumulated in the ventral caudal tail region (C), possibly as a consequence of this sprouting failure. (PCeV: Posterior cerebral vein; ISV: intersegmental vessels; DLAV: dorsal longitudinal anastomotic vessel; CA: caudal artery; DA: dorsal aorta CV: caudal vein; PCV: posterior cardinal vein; L: liver; H: heart) (Scale bar: 250 μm).
