Gata5 and gata6 are redundant for cardiac specification. ISH was performed using offspring from a gata5+/−, gata6+/− in-cross with probes targeting either myocardial marker myl7 (left panels) or cardiac progenitor marker nkx2.5 (right panels). (A) gata5−/−, gata6−/− mutants exhibit a heartless phenotype and a complete loss of cardiac progenitors (indicated by arrows). Representative scale bar in WT panels: 0.1 mm. (B) Quantification of nkx2.5 staining shown in A. Error bars represent s.e.m. *P<0.05, ****P<0.0001. (C) Schematic showing that loss of gata5 and 6 disrupts the initial stages of heart development.
