Gpr183 plays an indispensable role during definitive hematopoiesis in zebrafish. (A) Generation of gpr183 mutant using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. PAM sequence is 'TGG' (in blue); alignment of WT and mutated sequences is listed below. (B, C) Reduced expression of cmyb (or runx1) and rag1 in gpr183 mutant embryos (B) and clotrimazole-treated embryos (C). Red arrowheads indicate cmyb or runx1 expression in AGM, and white circles denote rag1 expression in the thymus. (D) The number of HE in Tg(gpr183−/−;flk1:mCherry/runx1:en-GFP) embryos is attenuated significantly compared with that in control embryos. White arrowheads denote HE in the AGM region. (E) Dot-plot quantification analysis of HE in sibling control and gpr183 mutant. Error bar represents SD. ****P < 0.0001. (F) Hematoxylin-eosin staining of head kidney section showing hematopoietic defect in 12-week-old gpr183 heterozygous mutant fish.
