Reference: J:203805 Wu SP, et al., Tbx18 regulates development of the epicardium and coronary vessels. Dev Biol. 2013 Nov 15;383(2):307-20
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:7356105
Gene symbol: Pecam1
Gene name: platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1
Antibody: MEC 13.3
Detection system: Secondary antibody
Results
Specimen 3E: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Red - Pecam1; green - nuclei counterstaining.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: atrioventricular sulcus Present 3E A small number of positive nodules were normally found.

Specimen 3F/H: embryonic day 12.5; Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy/Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy (more )
Note: Red - Pecam1; green - nuclei counterstaining.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: coronary vascular plexus Present Clusters 3F , 3H Numerous ectopic positive nodules in the subepicardium, which were densely packed nucleated erythroid cells covered by a continuous epicardial layer.

Specimen 4G: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: coronary vascular plexus Present 4G Normal subepicardial vascular plexus covering ~90% of the left ventricle. Occasional nodular clusters of positive cells were seen.

Specimen 4H: embryonic day 12.5; Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy/Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: coronary vascular plexus Present 4H Failed to develop a normal coronary plexus. Newly formed vessels were disorganized with fewer interconnections and more variable diameters in mutant hearts. Many more positive nodules were found scattered over the ventricular surface.

Specimen 4I: embryonic day 12.5; Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy/Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: coronary vascular plexus Present 4I Failed to develop a normal coronary plexus. Newly formed vessels were disorganized with fewer interconnections and more variable diameters in mutant hearts. Many more positive nodules were found scattered over the ventricular surface.

Specimen 4J: embryonic day 12.5; Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy/Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: coronary vascular plexus Present 4J Failed to develop a normal coronary plexus. Newly formed vessels were disorganized with fewer interconnections and more variable diameters in mutant hearts. Many more positive nodules were found scattered over the ventricular surface. Dense collections of unorganized positive cells were also occasionally found.

Specimen 5A: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: coronary artery Present 5A Two main coronary stems had formed in the correct locations.

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 14.5; Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy/Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: coronary artery Present 5B Two main coronary stems had formed in the correct locations.

Specimen 5C: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: coronary artery Present 5C Vascular channels had begun to form in positions where the left coronary artery would later be found in mature hearts.

Specimen 5D: embryonic day 14.5; Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy/Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: coronary artery Present 5D It was difficult to identify early coronary channels in the disorganized vascular plexus in the mutant.

Specimen 5E: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: left coronary artery Present 5E

Specimen 5F: embryonic day 16.5; Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy/Tbx18tm1.1Mwmy (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: left coronary artery Present 5F Significant alterations in the pattern, and reductions in length and diameter of the left descending coronary artery in mutant hearts. Persistence of positive nodules was seen.
