BMP deficiency reduces valvular cell proliferation and Sox9+ cell population. (A) Immunofluorescence detection of Sox9 expression in arterial valvular cells of Tg(7×TCF:EGFP);bmp16 embryos at 96 hpf. Scale bar: 15 µm. (B) Quantification of Sox9⁺ and Sox9⁺; EGFP⁺ valvular cells in wild-type and bmp16 knockout embryos, analyzed using unpaired Student’s t-tests. n = 11–13. (C) Quantification of Sox9⁺; EGFP⁺ valvular cells in vehicle- and LDN-193189-treated embryos, analyzed using unpaired Student’s t-tests. n = 10. (D) EdU labeling in Tg(7×TCF:EGFP) embryos at 72 hpf following vehicle or LDN-193189 treatment. Scale bar: 15 µm. (E) Quantification of EdU⁺; EGFP⁺ arterial valve cells in vehicle- and LDN-193189-treated embryos, analyzed using unpaired Student’s t-tests. n = 10. **, p < 0.01; ****, p < 0.0001.
