摘要
We examined the role of zebrafish (Danio rerio) Jak2a, a homolog of mammalian Jak2. in the developing embryo by injecting in vitro synthesized Jak2a shRNA into zebrafish zygotes. Blood circulation was suppressed in Jak2a shRNA-injected embryos from 24 hours post fertilization (hpf) and all embryos died with enlarged pericardium, shortened body lengths, and defects in some vasculature within 8 days post fertilization. O-dianisidine staining of Fed blood cells revealed normal blood island formation with no circulating red blood cells. As in Jak2(-/-) transgenic mice, expression of definitive Ba-1 globin was significantly reduced in Jak2a knockdown embryos at 36 hpf, whereas expression of other hematopoietic markets, primitive bel globin, gata-1, and scl, were unaffected. More importantly, blood vessel formation was disturbed in Jak2a knockdown embryos as revealed by alkaline phosphatase staining at 72 hpf. Thus, our data indicate that zebrafish Jak2a is important in both definitive hematopoiesis and blood vessel formation. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
