Figure 3

A screen of compounds targeting 7 known CM pathways identified therapeutic compounds for VEC.

(A and B) Representative images and percentage of vmhcl^e13/e13 mutant fish with the indicated phenotypes after administration of the compounds or DMSO control at 5 dpf. Black stars indicate severe edema, and red stars indicate mild edema. It is anticipated that 25% of vmhcl^e13/+ incross offspring are homozygous vmhcl^e13/e13, which manifest severe pericardial edema (black stars). Administration of 5 different drugs reduced the percentage of vmhcl^e13/e13 mutants with edema to less than 20%; 3 of these drugs reduced the percentage with edema with statistical significance (P < 0.05). n = 84–122; χ² test; scale bar: 500 μm. (C) Percent FS of the vmhcl^e13/e13 mutants after administration of the compounds compared to WT control at 5 dpf. n = 8; data are presented as the mean ± SD; 1-way ANOVA.
