Wholemount ISH of Nkx2.5Cre/+; Hand1A126FS/+ mutant embryos reveals altered cardiac gene expression during heart formation. E11.5 Nkx2.5+/+; Hand1SF-A126FS/+ control (A, C, E, G) and Nkx2.5Cre/+; Hand1A126FS/+mutant (B, D, F, H) embryos hybridized to the indicated riboprobes. Wnt11 marks OFT tissue (white bars; A and B). Tbx5 is an LV chamber maker. Tbx5 expression appears more homogeneous in Nkx2.5Cre/+; Hand1A126FS/+mutants when compared with controls (white arrowhead; C and D). Dkk3 marks the IVS and ventricular chambers. Dkk3 expression appears more robust in Nkx2.5Cre/+; Hand1A126FS/+mutants (white arrowhead; E and F). Cited1 appears unchanged between control and Nkx2.5Cre/+; Hand1A126FS/+mutants (G and H). Data represent an example of each genotype. Eight embryos per genotype were examined. Scale bars 150 μm.
