Fig. 5. HGF is strongly expressed in PPF cells and down-regulated in Gata4 null fibroblasts.

Fig. 5

(a–c) HGF is expressed in PPF cells independent of muscle. PPFs are outlined in black. (d) Deletion of Gata4 in PPF cells leads to HGF down-regulation, particularly in the region (box) that consistently give rise to hernias. (n = 11/11). Dorsal is at top of all panels. Scale bar = 100 µm (a, b), 250 µm (c, d) and 125 µm (insets c, d).
