Loss of Zfpm1 led to trabeculation deformation in ventricle. (A) Confocal images (mid-sagittal optical sections) of larval hearts from control and Zfpm1-/- animals at 10 dpf. (B) Left panels, confocal images (mid-sagittal optical sections) of larval hearts from control and Zfpm1-/- animals at 12 dpf. Arrowheads indicated sites where trabecular is initiating. Right panel, quantification of number trabecular initiation site on section. 8 sections from control and 12 sections from Zfpm1-/- fish were examined. Data are mean ± s.e.m. * p < 0.05. A and B, cardiomyocyte was labeled with Tg(myh7: GFP; myh7: DsRed-Nuc) transgenes. (C) Confocal projections of zebrafish juvenile hearts section at designated time points showing the abnormal trabeculation in Zfpm1-/- animals. Cardiomyocyte was labeled with Tg(myh7: GFP) transgene. Scale bars, 50 µm.
