AbstractObjective. We investigated the regulatory mechanism of primitive hematopoiesis in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos with particular reference to the role of a death receptor (zDR) gene, based on a morpholino (MO) knockdown approach. Methods. MOs targeting the zDR and chordin (Chd) were injected into naturally spawned embryos at one- to four-cell stage. A random sequence (RS) MO was used as a control. Effects on hemoglobin formation (Hb), apoptosis, and lineage-specific gene expression were examined. Embryos injected with zDR, Chd, and RS-MOs were denoted zDR mo, zChd mo, and zRS mo, respectively. Those coinjected with Chd+zDR-MOs and Chd+RS-MOs were abbreviated zChd+DR mo and zChd+RS mo. Results. zDR mRNA expression was restricted to the intermediate cell mass of wild-type (WT) and zChd mo embryos. At 48 hours postfertilization, zDR mo embryos showed increased Hb compared with WT or zRS mo embryos (2.36 × 10 -2 ± 1.13 × 10 -3 vs 1.85 × 10 -2 ± 5.60 × 10 -4 vs 1.79 × 10 -2 ± 1.31 × 10 -3 U, p < 0.05). zChd+DR mo embryos also showed increased Hb compared with zChd mo or zChd+RS mo embryos (4.60 × 10 -2 ± 2.79 × 10 -3 vs 3.17 × 10 -2 ± 1.07 × 10 -3 vs 3.05 × 10 -2 ± 1.25 × 10 -3 U, p < 0.05). zDR-MO reduced apoptosis, as shown by reduced terminal transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling staining in zChd+DR mo compared with zChd+RS mo embryos and caspase-3 activity in zDR mo vs zRS mo (0.525 ± 0.094 vs 0.953 ± 0.113 U, p < 0.05), and zChd+DR mo vs zChd+RS mo embryos (0.247 ± 0.121 vs 1.180 ± 0.082, p < 0.05). zChd+DR mo embryos showed upregulation of erythroid-specific embryonic hemoglobin gene expression but not that of a myeloid-specific myeloperoxidase gene. Conclusion. Knockdown of zDR in zebrafish embryos decreased apoptosis and increased Hb, suggesting that zDR may regulate primitive hematopoiesis during development. © 2006 International Society for Experimental Hematology.
