Obesity increases tumor initiation and area in an electroporation model of Rb1 mutant melanoma. (A) Schematic of in vivo transgenesis assay via Transgene Electroporation in Adult Zebrafish (TEAZ). Adult casper (mitfa:BRAF^V600E, p53^−/−, mitfa^−/−, mpv17^−/−) zAgRP1 or wild-type F0 fish were injected with MiniCoopR-tdTomato, sgRB1, mitfa:Cas9 and tol2 constructs and then electroporated. Fish were analyzed for tumor initiation and area by fluorescence microscopy over 6 weeks. Created with Biorender.com. (B,C) Tumor area at 14 days post-electroporation (dpe). Representative images (B) and quantification (C) of wild-type and zAgRP1 fish. (D,E) Tumor area at 42 dpe. Representative images (D) and quantification (E) of wild-type and zAgRP1 fish. n≥25 per genotype. Data are the averages of three biological replicates. Mann–Whitney test. Scale bars: 500 μm.
