Gain of function of Sox17 in Nkx2-5-expressing CPCs. (A) Construction of the BAC-based Nkx2-5Sox17-IRES-LacZ Tg. (BE) Double whole-mount in situ hybridization for Etv2 (blue) and for either Nkx2-5 (brown in B,D) or LacZ (brown in C,E) in E8.25 Tg(−) or Tg(+) embryos, respectively. (FJ) The heart of a Tg(−) embryo (F) and of Tg(+) embryos with severe (G,H), moderate (I), or mild (J) phenotypes at E9.5. Dashed magenta lines show the outline of the heart tube. (KM) Immunofluorescence micrographs for the sarcomere myosin heavy chain MYH1 (red) and PECAM1 (green) in the left ventricle of the heart of E9.5 Tg(−) (K) and Tg(+) (L) embryos. (M) The boxed region in L is shown at higher magnification. Blue, DAPI; Arrowheads, cardiomyocytes expressing PECAM1; Scale bars, 100 µm.
