Atrial and atrioventricular septal defects in Gli1CreERT2 conditional Smo mutants. (A-D) E14.5 cardiac anatomy by cross-section histology in control Smofl/fl (A,C) and mutant SmoGli1-CreERT2 (B,D) embryos administered with TM at E7.5 and E8.5. Atrial septal (D, arrowhead) and atrioventricular canal (D, asterisk) defects are present in SmoGli1-CreERT2 but not Smofl/fl embryos. C and D correspond to boxes in A and B, respectively. (E,F) SmoGli1-CreERT2 embryos (F) at E10.5 show hypoplastic dorsal mesenchymal protrusions (DMP, arrow) as compared with wild-type Smofl/fl littermates (E). AS, atrial septum.
