Expression of Smyd1 in SRF null ES cells and the SRF cardiac-conditional knockout embryo. (A) Reduced expression of Smyd1 was revealed by in situ hybridization in the SRF Nkx2.5-cre cko embryo (left panel, 8.5 dpc) and SRF αMHC-cre cko (right panel, 10.5 dpc) embryo compared to controls. The arrow: atrium, black arrow head: ventricle; red arrow head: outflow tract. Scale bar: 100 μm. (B) Rescue of Smyd1 expression in Srf-null ES cells with recombinant wild-type SRF. Immunoblot showing the expression of SRF protein in Srf-null ES cells infected with SRF-lentiviruses comparing with wild type and Srf+/− ES cells (left panel). Smyd1 expression was induced by SRF expression during Srf−/− ES cell differentiation measured by qRT-PCR. Significant induction of Smyd1 by SRF expression was observed by Days 8, 10, 12 of embryoid body differentiation (right panel).
