Fig. 6. XPO5 is required for mouse embryonic development.

Fig. 6

a Schematics of the XPO5 allele design. b Loss of XPO5 results in embryonic lethality. XPO5 KO embryos show developmental defects as early as in E6.5 (c) and fails to go through gastrulation (d). Representative images of littermate embryos are shown for over ten control and KO embryos. e Whole-mount LacZ staining of XPO5KI/+ (Ctrl) and XPO5KI/KI (KO) shows universal expression of XPO5 throughout the embryo. f Depletion of XPO5 and mir-290 in XPO5 KO embryos at E7 is measured by qPCR. Dysregulation of selected genes in XPO5 KO embryos at E7 (g) and E8.5 (h) is measured by qPCR, respectively. Oct4 and Nanog are failed to be downregulated in XPO5 KO embryos at both E7 and E8.5. Scale bar 250 μm in ce. Data shown are mean s.d. from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 determined by Student’s t test. Original data for f, g, and h are provided in the Source Data file.
