Hif activation protects embryos from CPT induced apoptosis.
(A and B) The embryos from vhl+/–; vll–/– pair mating were treated with 20 nM CPT. The majority of embryos did not survive until 5dpf except a few embryos. All the embryos that survived were EGFP positive vhl–/–; vll–/– double mutants. (C and D) When the embryos were treated with Hif activator for 8 hours prior to the CPT treatment, all the embryos became EGFP positive and survived until 5dpf. (E) When wild type embryos were treated with CPT, the embryos did not survive at 5dpf. (F) However, most of embryos that are treated with Hif activator prior to CPT treatment survived at 5dpf. (G) The embryos injected constitutively active Hif2α also survived at 5dpf. Scale bars: 1 mm.
