Forced activation of Notch recovers sinusoids in the jam1asd43 kidney
(A) Relative expression of Notch target genes, her2, her6, hey1, and hey2, in kdrl:Celurean+ Ac-LDLhigh sinusoidal endothelial cells from wild-type, jam1asd43, or jam1asd43 expressing NICD. u.d., undetected. Error bars, s.d. (n = 3 for each).
(B–E) Dorsal view (B and C) and transverse section (D and E) of a jam1asd43 kidney expressing or not NICD under control of fli1:Gal4 induction. Blue areas outlined by the white dotted line in D and E denote the sinusoidal area. AF denotes auto-fluorescence of renal tubules.
(F) Percentages of sinusoidal area in the jam1asd43 kidney expressing or not NICD under control of fli1:Gal4 induction. Error bars, s.d. (n = 4 for each). ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001. Bars, 200 μm (B and C); 40 μm (D and E).
