In vivo validation of candidate coronary artery disease (CAD) genes.
(a) The sequence of translation-blocking MOs targeting candidate CAD genes used for this study. (b) Tg(flk1:EGFP) zebrafish embryos were injected with morpholinos (MOs) for candidate CAD genes and compared with control MO-injected embryos (morphants). The majority of morphants, except for apod morphants, exhibit gross morphological abnormalities, including a small brain, heart edema, and curved tail, at 3 days post-fertilization (scale bar = 500 μm). (c) Diagrams show the representative heart defects, such as no asymmetry (midline) and reversed asymmetry between ventricle and atrium, at 3 days post-fertilization.
