Fig. 6. jagged gene knockdowns perturb craniofacial and cardiac
development. (A-E,G) Lateral views of (A) wild type, and (B) jagged
1, (C) jagged 2, (D) jagged 3 and (E,G) jagged
2/3 morphants. Note, forebrain and midbrain defects in
jagged 1 morphants (arrowheads) and mild craniofacial defects in the
jagged 3 (D) and jagged 2/3 (E,G) morphants. All
morphants, except jagged 2, have small ears (arrows). jagged
2/3 morphants have pericardial edema (open arrowhead). (F,H)
Alcian Blue staining of 5-dpf wild-type (F) and jagged 2/3
morphant (H) larvae, lateral view. These stainings show that the ethmoid (e),
palatoquadrate (pq) and ceratohyal (ch) cartilages of jagged
2/3 morphants are smaller than in wild-type siblings. Similar
findings are observed in jagged 3 morphants (not shown). cb,
ceratobranchial; hs, hyosymplectic; m, Meckel's cartilage; oa, occipital
arch.
