Decreased cx43 in the Tg(hsp70:miR-133a1)pd47 line influences segment length. Regenerate length (A) is not significantly decreased while segment length (B) is significantly decreased in a1(+) (transgene-positive, n = 16) compared with non-transgenic a1(-) siblings (n = 12). Both a1(+) and a1(-) fish were similarly treated for heat shock. Statistically significant differences were determined by the student’s t-test p < 0.001 (***). Error bars represent the standard deviation.
