FIGURE 7:

CaD-MO disrupted CNC migration in vivo. (A) GFP-labeled CNC grafts receiving control-MO or CaD-MO (10 ng) were transplanted into unlabeled host embryos at neurula stages and imaged at tailbud stages. Fluorescent and merged images are shown side by side with anterior to the left. Whereas control-MO–receiving grafts migrated laterally into separate branchial arches, CaD-MO–expressing grafts migrated less far and failed to segregate into streams. Coexpression of a low-dose CaD restored the migration of CNC transplants. (B) The embryos were binned into four categories on the basis of the migratory behaviors. Whereas 79% of control grafts migrated and segregated normally (n = 61), 18% of CaD-MO–expressing grafts failed to migrate at all. Another 67% of the grafts migrated shorter distances, over half of which did not segregate (n = 45). Coexpression of CaD (100–200 pg) rescued the segregation (83%) and migration (44%, n = 18) remarkably.
