Transgenic Inhibition of RA Signaling Blocks Cardiomyocyte Proliferation during Regeneration (A) Assessment of Mef2+PCNA+ cells (arrows) in wild-type (wt) and hsp70:dn-zrar transgenic fish at 7 dpa, after a single heat-shock at 6 dpa. Maximum projection images of 10 μm Z stacks are shown. Insets, high-magnification images of the rectangle. Arrowheads, proliferating epicardial cells; brackets, injury site. Scale bar represents 100 μm (A and C). (B) Quantification of CM proliferation in wt and hsp70:dn-zrar transgenic fish at 7 dpa. Data are mean ± standard error of mean (SEM) from 6 animals each (3097 wt and 2482 transgenic CMs analyzed). *p < 3 × 10-5, Student′s t test. (C) Assessment of Mef2/PCNA double-positive cells (arrows) in wt and hsp70:cyp26a1 transgenic fish at 7 dpa, after a single heat-shock at 6 dpa. Maximum projection images of 10 μm Z stacks are shown. (D) Quantification of CM proliferation in wt and hsp70:cyp26a1 transgenic fish at 7 dpa. Data are mean ± SEM from 4 wt and 6 transgenic animals (3888 wt and 4760 transgenic CMs analyzed). *p < 2 × 10-4, Student′s t test. |
