Figure 5. Exogenous PIP2 promotes ectopic angiogenesis in wild-type zebrafish in vivo. (A-C) Confocal images of subintestinal vessels (SIVs) extending over the yolk cell of 3 days postfertilization (dpf) Tg(fli-EGFP)y1 zebrafish that were untreated (A), received a single intravascular injection of carrier-loaded phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [(PI(4,5)P2] at 2 dpf (B), or received an injection of CMV:vegfaa at the 1-cell stage (C). Lateral views, anterior to the left. (D-F) Quantitation of the average number of ectopic SIV ventral sprouts (D), average total length of ectopic SIV ventral sprouts (E), and average width of the normal SIV plexus (F) in 3-dpf embryos. Scale bars = 200 μm (A-C). EGFP indicates enhanced green fluorescent protein.
