Loss of CCM Proteins Causes Elevated Levels of klf2 Expression
(A–C) Loss of Ccm2 causes elevated levels of klf2a and klf2b mRNA in zebrafish at 48 hrpf (A), of Klf2 mRNA in mouse cerebellar tissue of iCCM2 mice at P15 (B), and of KLF2 mRNA in HUVECs (C), as determined by qRT-PCR.
(D–H) At 48 hrpf, whole-mount in situ hybridizations show that klf2a is misexpressed within the entire endocardium of krit1ty219c and ccm2m201 mutants (D–F) and is elevated within arteries and veins in the tail region (asterisk) of ccm2m201 mutants (H) compared to WT embryos (G). Statistical data are means and SEM; p < 0.05; p < 0.01; p < 0.001; p < 0.0001; see Supplemental Experimental Procedures for details about statistical data analysis.
