Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Effects of BPs on cardiomyocyte development. Representative confocal microscopy image of TG(myl7:NLS-mCherry) ZFEs at 48 hpf exposed to 0.05% DMSO (A) or Mix 2 (BPA 8.7 µM + BPF 18 µM + BPAF 1.3 µM + BPB 4.2 µM), which induced approximately 40% heart rate reduction (B). BP exposure did not affect the cardiomyocyte count (C), based on the t test (n = 10). BP exposure, which induced approximately 30% heart rate reduction, did not affect mRNA expression of genes related to cardiomyocyte development: hand2 (D) and nkx20.5 (E). Only BPF and BPAF significantly downregulated bmp4 mRNA expression (F), based on the one- way ANOVA test followed by Dunnett’s post hoc analysis (n = 3). SC: DMSO 0.05%, BPA: 25 µM, BPF: 60 µM, BPAF: 4 µM, BPB: 12 µM, Mix 1: BPA 6.6 µM + BPF 13.6 µM + BPAF 1 µM + BPB 3.2 µM. ns, P ≥0.03; *, P ≤0.03; **, P ≤0.002; *** , P ≤0.0002; *** *, P ≤0.0001. The data are presented as means ± standard deviations.

Article Title: Activation of MEK2 is sufficient to induce skin papilloma formation in transgenic zebrafish

doi: 10.1186/s12929-015-0207-2

Figure Lengend Snippet: Constitutively activated MEK1 (MEK1 S219D ) and MEK2 (MEK2 S219D ) both phosphorylated ERK1. a . COS-1 cells were transiently transfected with pcDNA3-HA, pcDNA3-ERK1-HA, pcDNA3-MEK1-mCherry, pcDNA3-MEK1S219D-GFP, pcDNA3-MEK2-GFP, or pcDNA3-MEK2S219D-GFP. Total lysates were analyzed by Western blotting using anti-HA, anti-GFP, anti-pERK monoclonal antibodies; anti-mCherry and anti-Actin polyclonal antibodies. b . Intracellular localization of ERK1, MEK1, and MEK2 in COS-1 cells by fluorescent microscopy. The pcDNA3-ERK1-HA was co-transfected with pcDNA3-GFP (A1-A4), pcDNA3-MEK1-mCherry (B1-B4), pcDNA3-MEK1S219D-GFP (C1-C4), pcDNA3-MEK2-GFP (D1-D4), or pcDNA3-MEK2S219D-GFP (E1-E4). Cy2 or Cy3 dye used an anti-HA monoclonal antibody to detect localization of ERK1 as visualized. DAPI was used to stain nuclear DNA. White arrows indicate the ERK1 protein localized in nuclei and the cytoplasm. IB, immunoblot

Figure Lengend Snippet: Transient expressions of MEK1 and MEK2 driven by the krt14 promoter induced papillae formation in skin cells. Lateral view of pTol2-krt14-GFP ( a ), pTol2-krt14-MEK2-GFP ( b ), pTol2-MEK2S223A-GFP ( c ), pTol2-krt14-MEK2S219D-GFP ( d ), pTol2-krt14-MEK1-mCherry ( e ), and pTol2-krt14-MEK1S219D-GFP ( f ) plasmids, which were microinjected into 1-cell stage of zebrafish embryos and visualized at 3 days post-fertilization (dpf). The arrow indicates skin cell papillae and budding in the upper epidermis. The upper panel is a fluorescent image. The middle panel is merged fluorescent and bright-field images. The lower panel is an enlargement of the white box in the middle panel
