Fig. 3. SHP-2N308D leads to a delay of the cardiac cell cycle. (A-D) Transverse heart sections through stage 33 (A,B) and stage 37 (C,D) Xenopus embryos stained with Tmy (green) and anti-phospho histone H3 (red), from uninjected (A,C) and SHP-2N308D-derived (B,D) embryos (2 ng). Scale bar: 50 μm. (E,F) Graphs representing total number of Tmy-positive cells (E) and the mitotic index (F) in SHP-2FL- (blue bars) and SHP-2N308D- (red bars) derived embryos at stages 29, 33 and 37. Bars represent the average of at least three embryos. Error bars represent s.d. *P≤0.05 (comparison of SHP-2FL and SHP-2N308D embryos). |
