Homing Process Is Disturbed due to the Reduced Expression of ccr9a

(A) Confocal imaging of coro1a:EGFP/lyz:DsRed embryos showing no coro1a:EGFP cells in the thymus (white circle) in irf4a morphants. Scale bar, 40 µm.

(B) Number of coro1a:EGFP cells entering the thymus every 30 min in the control and irf4a morphants (n = 6) during the homing process. p < 0.05.

(C) Quantification of embryos with coro1a:EGFP cells (>5) in the thymus of the control (n = 88) and irf4a morphants (n = 92) at 3.5 dpf.

(D) Expression of foxn1 in the control and irf4a morphants at 3 dpf.

(E) Expression of ccl25a and ccl25b in the control and irf4a morphants at 3 dpf.

(F) Expression of ccr9a in the control and irf4a morphants at 3 dpf. Red arrows indicate the thymus or perithymic region.

(G) Expression of cmyb, ikaros, and ccr9a in the CHT of the control and irf4a morphants at 2 dpf. Red arrows indicate hematopoietic progenitors expressing cmyb, ikaros, or ccr9a in the CHT region.

(H) qPCR analysis of cmyb, ikaros, and ccr9a in the control and irf4a morphants at 2 dpf. ns, not significant. p < 0.01. All data are mean ± SD.
