Fig. 1. Ventricular development defects are observed during the trabecular stage in foxc1anju18 mutants. A: Maximum intensity projections of confocal z-stacks show representative ventricles of 60 hpf Tg(myl7:nDsRed);foxc1a+/+ (n = 11) and Tg(myl7:nDsRed);foxc1anju18 (n = 12) embryos. B: Maximum intensity projections of confocal z-stacks show representative hearts of 96 hpf WT (n = 8) and foxc1anju18 (n = 10) embryos. C: A scatter plot shows the numbers of cardiomyocytes in the atria and ventricles. D: Midsagittal confocal images show hearts of 80 hpf Tg(myl7:eGFP)m225;foxc1a+/+ (n = 14) and Tg(myl7:eGFP)m225;foxc1anju18 (n = 10) embryos. E: Midsagittal confocal images show hearts of 96 hpf Tg(myl7:eGFP)m225; foxc1a+/+ (n = 13) and Tg(myl7:eGFP)m225;foxc1anju18 (n = 17) embryos. F: Statistical analysis of data derived from (D) and (E). G: Maximum intensity projections of confocal z-stacks show representative EdU-stained hearts from 84 hpf Tg(myl7:nlsRed);foxc1a+/? (n = 9) and Tg(myl7:nDsRed);foxc1anju18 (n = 10) embryos. H: A scatter plot shows the percentage of EdU+ cells. Scale bars, 50 μm. ns, P > 0.05; ∗∗, P < 0.01; ∗∗∗, P < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗, P < 0.0001. Error bars represent the standard deviation. hpf, hour postfertilization.
