Engineered FKBP** permits regulation of PTEN function in the zebrafish.

(A) The migration and growth of stable FKBP**-PTEN expressing U87MG cell clones injected into zebrafish embryos can be inhibited by Shld1. Prior to microinjection into the perivitelline cavity of 2 days post fertilization (dpf) zebrafish embryos, cells were pre-stained with DiI. Embryos were then transferred into fish water with (n = 11) or without (n = 13) Shld1 (4 μM) and maintained for 24h. Images were taken immediately after injections (0 days post injections, dpi) and after 24 h (1dpi). (B) The migration indices and the increase in tumor mass size of transplanted cells were quantified. ** p<0.01; ***p<0.001.
