RERE regulates the expression of GATA4 in the AV canal. (A,B) GATA4 was visualized with anti-GATA4 antibodies on sections through the AV canals of wild-type embryos and Rereom/eyes3 embryos. The immunoreactivity of GATA4 in the wild-type AV endocardial cushions was stronger than that observed in Rereom/eyes3 AV endocardial cushions. (C,D) In contrast, the levels of GATA4 expression were comparable in the AV canals of Rereflox/flox and Rereflox/flox;Tie2-Cre embryos. These results suggest that decreased expression of RERE in cells other than the endocardium play a role in regulating the expression of GATA4 in the AV canal. Arrows and dashed lines indicate the AV endocardial cushions. Representative images are shown from the analysis of sections from three embryos of each genotype. Scale bars: 100 µm.
