Abstract
Zebrafish lateral line system which is derived from neurogenic placodes has become a popular model for developmental biology since its formation involves cell migration, pattern formation, organogenesis, and hair cell regeneration. Transgenic lines play a crucial role in lateral line system study. Here, we identified an enhancer trap transgenic zebrafish line Et(gata2a:EGFP)189b (ET189b for short), which expressed enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in the pituitary, otic, and lateral line placodes and their derivatives. Especially, in neuromast, the accessory cells rather than hair cells were labeled by EGFP. Furthermore, we found the Tol2 transposon construct is integrated at the proximal upstream region of six2b gene locus. And EGFP expression of ET189b closely reflects the expression of endogenous six2b during development and after dkk1b over-expression. Taken together, our results indicated that ET189b is an ideal line for research on lateral line development and regulation of six2b expression.
期刊介绍:
Gene Expression Patterns is devoted to the rapid publication of high quality studies of gene expression in development. Studies using cell culture are also suitable if clearly relevant to development, e.g., analysis of key regulatory genes or of gene sets in the maintenance or differentiation of stem cells. Key areas of interest include:
-In-situ studies such as expression patterns of important or interesting genes at all levels, including transcription and protein expression
-Temporal studies of large gene sets during development
-Transgenic studies to study cell lineage in tissue formation
