Figure Lengend Snippet: Fat1 LacZ induction by Cardiotoxin (CTX), 5 days after injury . (A) Scheme of the experiment, in which adult Fat1 LacZ/+ mice were injured by injection of CTX in the Tibialis anterior muscle (TA), and showing the timeline, with injury occurring at day 0, and muscle collection for histological analyses at 5 days post-injury. (B) Fat1 LacZ expression is visualized on the same muscle cross-sections as in of a Fat1 LacZ/+ mouse 5 days after CTX injury in the TA, with unijected (left) and injected (right) sides, by Salmon gal staining (top), or immunohistochemistry with anti-β-galactosidase (green) and laminin (white) antibodies (with DAPI, blue), showing that expression is undetectable in the uninjured adult muscle, but induced by the CTX injury. (C, D, E) high magnification images at the level of the actively regenerating area of the lesion, to show at different magnifications the combination of anti-β-galactosidase (green) and laminin (white) with Pax7 (red, C), Pdgfra (red, D, and iba1 (red, E). Scalebars: (B) 500 µm; (C) top images: 20 µm, bottom images 50 µm, (D,E) 50 µm.
