Caption | Kif7 is necessary for the patterning, differentiation, and induction of Scleraxis (Scx)-positive tendon progenitors in the central tendon. (A-D) Whole-mount immunohistochemical-stained E17.5 wild-type (WT) and Kif7dda/Kif7dda (Kif7dd/dd) diaphragms. Mutants show loss of tenascin C (Tnc) expression at the myotendonous junction (MTJ) (arrowheads in A and B) and an overgrowth of muscle fibers (arrowheads in C and D). (E and F) MyHC (green) and tenomodulin (Tnmd; red) coimmunofluorescent staining in sagittal sections of the anterior diaphragm at the plane marked by dashed line in C and D in E17.5 control and mutant embryos. Insets show a zoomed-in view of the MTJ in WT and mutant diaphragms (arrowheads). (G and H) Col1a1 whole-mount in situ hybridization at E15.5. (I and J) Col1a1 immunofluorescent staining in frontal sections of the diaphragm at the plane marked by the dashed line in G and H in E15.5 control and mutant embryos. (K-P) Scx whole-mount in situ hybridization at E12.5, E13.5, and E14.5 in WT and mutant diaphragms. Arrowheads show reduced induction of Scx in the central tendon domain of the diaphragm in mutant embryos relative to littermate controls. | ||||
