Effects of Larp7 knockdown on cardiac structure and function. (A) Larp7-targeting morpholinos [either splice blocking (SB) or translation blocking (TB)] resulted in normal heart development, here shown in vivo (left hand panel) and following H&E staining (right hand panel). Ventricular diastolic area (B) and ejection fraction (C) in Larp7-knockdown embryos were similar to controls (Larp7 mismatch morpholino). A mild dilatation of the atrium (D) was observed in Larp7-knockdown (TB and SB Larp7-Mo) embryos. Larp7 mRNA (E) and protein (F) were significantly reduced at 48 and 96hpf. Larp7-Mo-TB (larp7 Mo) injection caused increased phosphorylation of Ser2 in the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain (P-Ser2 CTD), suggesting an upregulation of Cdk9 activity. n=3 experiments, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni′s post-hoc test. Means±s.e.m. are shown in B, C, D and E.
