Results
Specimen 1b: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: foregut epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1b Expressed in the ventral endoderm.
TS15: outflow tract mesenchyme Present 1b
TS15: visceral pericardium Present Regionally restricted 1b Expressed in the coelomic wall bordering the outflow tract. Expression was more pronounced at the left side of the outflow tract.

Specimen 1f: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: heart Strong Regionally restricted 1f Expressed in the anterior heart field, including the coelomic wall, and in the outflow tract myocardium.
TS17: outflow tract cardiac muscle Strong Clusters 1f Expressed as a central cluster of cells ventral to the foregut, extending preferentially on the left side of the aortic sac and surrounding the left 6th pharyngeal arch artery. Absent on the right side in the region bordering the aortic wall.
TS17: outflow tract endocardial tube Strong Regionally restricted 1f Expressed in the left-side region of the coelomic wall. Largely absent expression in the coelomic wall on the right side.
TS17: cardiac muscle tissue Present 1f

Specimen 2c: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: outflow tract Present Regionally restricted 2c Expressed as a mesenchymal column lining the pulmonary wall on the left side of the outflow tract and merging with the subpulmonary myocardium. There is no such expression on the aortic side.
TS19: cardiac muscle tissue Present 2c

Specimen 2f: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: outflow tract Present Regionally restricted 2f Expressed in a column of myocardial precursor cells exclusively on the left side, where the pulmonary trunk and right ventricular outflow tract are developing.
TS19: left atrium cardiac muscle Present 2f
TS19: left ventricle cardiac muscle Present 2f
TS19: right atrium cardiac muscle Present 2f
TS19: right ventricle cardiac muscle Present 2f

Specimen 4b: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: outflow tract cardiac muscle Present Regionally restricted 4b Expressed as an elongated column extending along the left side.
TS17: heart mesentery Present Regionally restricted 4b Expressed as a well-organized cluster of cells in the cardiac mesenchyme.
TS17: pharynx mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4b Expressed as a group of positive cells located behind the heart in the pre-pharyngeal mesoderm.

Specimen 4e: embryonic day 10.5; Vegfatm1Pec/Vegfatm1Pec (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: heart mesentery Present Regionally restricted 4e Expressed as in wild-type in a cluster of cells in the cardiac mesenchyme.
TS17: outflow tract cardiac muscle Present Regionally restricted 4e Expressed in an abnormal very short column of cells extending along the left side.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: pharynx mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted Expressed as a central cluster of cells located in the pre-pharyngeal mesoderm dorsal to the level of the outflow tract.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Shown as 3D-reconstructions in Fig. 3 and S1.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: outflow tract Present Regionally restricted Expressed in a column of mesenchymal cells found exclusively within the indentation at the orifice level at the pulmonary side but not in the aortic region.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: Shown as 3D-reconstructions in Fig. 3 and S1.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: outflow tract Absent The mesenchymal column of expressing cells was no longer present.
