Fig. 1

Zebrafish model of NRAS-driven melanoma. (A) Schematic of the MiniCoopR vector containing the NRASQ61R gene driven by the mitfa promoter (Pmitfa) in cis with the mitfa gene. (B) Kaplan-Meier curve showing the percent of casper;mcr:NRAS zebrafish without grossly apparently tumors compared to casper;mcr:Emptyfish. ****p < 0.0001 calculated using the log rank Mantel-Cox test. (C) Images of casper;mcr:NRAS and casper mcr:Empty fish taken at 2, 4, 9, and 15 weeks post fertilization. In contrast to the tumor formation seen in the casper;mcr:NRAS fish, normal melanocytepatterning is observed in casper;mcr:Empty controls. Scale bars represent 500 µm for 2 week images and 1000 µm for 4–15 week images.
