Fig. 8. AML1-ETO downregulates scl, leading to the early effects of
AML1-ETO expression in primitive hematopoietic cells. (A)
In situ hybridization of scl. AML1-ETO expression results in
scl downregulation specifically in hematopoietic cells. The
expression of scl in the head (asterisk), in the endothelial
primordium (arrowhead), and in the posterior tail region (arrow) was not
affected. (B) In situ hybridization of gata1, mpo and
fluorescent images of zpu.1-EGFP transgenic zebrafish. Injections of
scl mRNA restored gata1 expression and reversed
pu.1 and mpo induction in Tg(hsp:AML1-ETO)
embryos.
