Dynamic and broad expression of adamts9 in developing and adult zebrafish.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies showed that Adamts9 is involved in multiple functions including ovulation, spine formation, primordial germ cell migration, and development of primary ovarian follicles in animals. However, systemic examination and high-resolution analyses of adamts9 expression are missing due to lack of a sensitive reporter assay.

Results

In the present study, we created a new transgenic zebrafish reporter line Tg(adamts9:EGFP) and assayed its expression in various tissues and cells during development and in adults at high-resolution using confocal imaging. Reporter expression was validated with real-time quantitative PCR, whole mount in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry for endogenous adamts9. Strong expression of the adamts9:EGFP transgene was found
