Deletion of Ino80 using sinus venosus- or endocardial-specific Cre lines. a Schematic section through the heart showing the two types of endothelial cells within the heart and the Cre lines that differentially label each subset. b Endomucin (endocardial cells) and DAPI (nuclei) immunofluorescence in e15.5 hearts highlights reduction of compact myocardial thickness in hearts where Ino80 was deleted using either Nfatc1Cre, ApjCreER, or Tie2Cre. Images are representative of the following number of replicates: Nfatc1Cre (control, n = 9 hearts; mutant, n = 6 hearts), ApjCreER (control, n = 12 hearts; mutant, n = 4 hearts), or Tie2Cre (control, n = 9 hearts; mutant, n = 6 hearts). Conditional knockouts are labeled CKO. Scale bars: 100 μm. c Quantification of compact and trabecular myocardial thickness in each condition. Error bars in graphs are standard deviation. Nfatc1Cre (control, n = 9 hearts; mutant, n = 6 hearts), ApjCreER (control, n = 12 hearts; mutant, n = 4 hearts), or Tie2Cre (control, n = 9 hearts; mutant, n = 6 hearts). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, evaluated by Student’s t-test. d Example of abnormal extensions of Endomucin-positive endocardial cells (arrowheads) into the compact layer in CKO embryos. H&E sections are of comparable regions of the apex. Images are representative of the following number of replicates: Nfatc1Cre (control, n = 9 hearts; mutant, n = 6 hearts), ApjCreER (control, n = 12 hearts; mutant, n = 4 hearts). Scale bars: 100 μm
