Characterization of Tg(neurod1:lifeAct-EGFP).
( A) Epifluoresence image of 5 dpf Tg(neurod1:lifeAct-EGFP). The pancreatic islet and enteroendocrine cells that were labeled by lifeAct-EGFP are designated by white arrows. ( B) Confocal image of EEC labeled by Tg(neurod1:lifeAct-EGFP) in live zebrafish mounted in 2% low melting agarose. The stronger lifeAct-EGFP signal was detected in the apical of EEC protrusion. ( C, C?) Confocal image of Tg(neurod1:lifeAct-EGFP); TgBAC(cd36-RFP) zebrafish intestine. The EEC?s apical protrusion that labeled by a strong lifeAct-EGFP signal is labeled with white arrows. ( D, D?) Confocal images of Tg(neurod1:lifeAct-EGFP); TgBAC(cd36-RFP)zebrafish intestine after 6 hr high fat (HF) meal feeding. The EECs? apical protrusion labeled by strong lifeAct-EGFP signal was reduced.
