Development of ventricular lymphatics.

Ventricular size is increased following induction of Vegfaa-OE (nVegfaa-VEH = 9, nVegfaa-OE = 10, *p<0.01) (a), but remains unchanged in cxcr4a-/- mutants (c) (nwt = 4, ncxcr4a-/-=4). (b) Lymphatic sprouts (red) follow coronary vessels, labeled by intravascular injection of Qdot705 (cyan), in 12 wpf (fish size 19–22 mm) Vegfaa-OE hearts (n = 4) (d, e) Color-coded maps of vessel thickness show mis-patterned coronary arteries and absent major OFT vessels (e, asterisk) in cxcr4a -/-, as compared to wt siblings (d, yellow arrow). (f) cxcr4a -/- hearts display partially perfused blood coronary vessels (yellow arrows) following intravascular injection of Qdots705 at 25wpf (25–30 mm) (n = 4). (g) The number of ventricular lymphatic sprouts is reduced in 22 wpf (fish size 25–28 mm) Tg(flt1_9a_cFos:GFP);Tg(lyve1b:dsRed2) cxcr4a-/- hearts (nwt = 4, ncxcr4a-/-=4, *p<0.01). (h,i) Quantification of the number of major blood vessels in 19–23 wpf (fish size 25–30 mm) wt sibling and flt4 -/- hearts (h) (nwt = 5, nflt4 = 6) or 24 wpf (fish size 25–30 mm) wt sibling and vegfc+/- hearts (i) (nwt = 3, nvegfc +/-=5). (j,k) Quantification of ventricular size in 19–23 wpf (fish size 25–30 mm) wt sibling and flt4 -/- hearts (j) (nwt = 4, nflt4 = 5) and in 24 wpf (fish size 25–30 mm) wt sibling and vegfc +/- animals (k) (nwt = 3, nvegfc+/-=5). (l) 12 wpf (fish size 19–22 mm) Vegfaa-VEH;vegfc+/- fish in the background of Tg(fli1:EGFP);Tg(lyve1b:dsRed2). (m) Increased ventricular size is not reverted in 12 wpf (fish size 19–22 mm) Vegfaa-OE; vegfc+/- animals (nVegfaa-VEH = 5, nVegfaa-VEH;vegfc+/-=5, nVegfAa-OE-lymphatic vessel coverage=10 nVegfaa-OE;vegfc+/-lymphatic vessel coverage = 9, *p<0.01, relative to Vehicle treated sibling control). Error bars are 200 µm, mean ± S.E.M. All panels show anterior views.
