Abstract

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an ideal fish model for molecular and genetic studies. It is relatively easy to keep in the aquarium and to obtain embryos. The ability to follow embryonic development using microscopic and molecular techniques facilitates the study of mesoderm development. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the role of four transcription factors that include: bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), nodal, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and sonic hedgehog (SHH) in mesoderm induction, using specific inhibitors (DM, SB431542, SU5402) and Cyclopamine, respectively. Each inhibitor perturbed mesoderm development and in situ hybridisation, using myl10 specific marker for muscles. Results showed a noticeable reduction in gene expression with each treatment, indicating a crucial role for all four transcription factors in mesoderm development.
