Effects caused by expression of the dominant negative Bmpr on bone formation. (AC) Alizarin red staining of 5 dpf larvae after heat-shock treatment at 2 or 3 dpf. The extent of GFP expression 2 h after treatment indicates the transgenic status of the larva; GFP(−) being non-transgenic, GFP(++) transgenic, GFP(+++) being homozygous transgenic or larvae highly expressing the transgene (dnBmpr-GFP); (DF) DAF-FM DA staining for nitric oxide detection in 5 dpf larvae (note that GFP fluorescence has disappeared at this time); (GI) Red fluorescence allowing detection of mCherry-expressing osteoblasts c: cleithrum; en: entopterygoid; o: operculum; p: parasphenoid. Scale bar: 200 µM. (J,K) Statistical analysis of replicate experiments investigating the effect of dnBmpr expression on nitric oxide (J) or mCherry (K) detection. * indicates p-value < 0.05.
