Figure Legend Snippet: A – E Ventral confocal imaging (max projection) of representative 72 hpf hand2:EGFP;myl7DsRed larvae undergoing distinct treatments as indicated; anterior to the top; v ventricle, a atrium. A , B Representative larvae treated with DMSO vehicle only as control at 18 hpf overnight showing hand2:EGFP- expressing pericardial sac surrounding the heart at 72 hpf ( A , 20x) and cellular density ( B , 40x zoom, representative nuclei marked with dashed lines). C , D Ventral images of representative hand2:EGFP;myl7:DsRed larvae treated with the Wnt signaling inhibitor IWR-1 at 18 hpf overnight, showing expanded pericardial sac and edema with large, stretched cells surrounding the larval zebrafish heart at 72 hpf ( C 20x) and lower cellular density ( D 40x). E , F Ventral images of hand2:EGFP;myl7:DsRed larvae treated with BDM as myosin II inhibitor at 18 hpf overnight showing expanded pericardial sac with normal cell distribution at 72 hpf ( E 20x) and cellular density ( F 40x). G – J Quantifications of pericardial and cardiac features following the treatments. One-way ANOVA, n = 6 animals, three independent experiments. G Heart rate of vehicle-treated, Wnt-inhibited, and myosin II-inhibited (BDM) animals ( p = 0.6056 DMSO to IWR-1, p = 0.0001 DMSO to BDM). H Pericardial area (distribution per ventral view), showing increased pericardial area in IWR-1-treated animals ( p = 0.0631 DMSO to IWR-1, p = 0.317- DMSO to BDM). I Cell density (cells per square millimeter), showing decreased cell density in IWR-1-treated animals only ( p = 0.0001 DMSO to IWR-1, p = 0.01345 DMSO to BDM). J Cell size showing increases in IWR-1-treated embryos only ( p = 0.0001 DMSO to IWR-1, p = 0.9918 DMSO to BDM). K , L Increased tissue stiffness in the pericardium of rats treated with PBS (vehicle), Iso only, sFRP1 only, or combined Isoproterenol (Iso) and SFRP1 ( n = 3 per condition). Neonatal rats (0-to-4-day old rats) were injected intraperitoneally with 0.05 mg/kg/day of human recombinant sFRP1 protein and Iso in an animal model of pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of dissected pericardia provided measures for Young’s modulus (kPa) as readout for tissue elasticity, with treated pericardia showing increased stiffness with combined Iso and sFRP1 only ( K ) as quantified per sample( L , unpaired two-tailed t -test, p = 0.9093 vehicle to Iso only, p = 0.6129 vehicle to sFRP1 only, p = 0.0140 vehicle to Iso + sFRP1). Each dot represents an individual sample. Representative images of control and = treated rats. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Scale bar A , C , E 200 μm; B , D , F (40x) 50 μm. Species silhouettes were adapted from the PhyloPic database ( https://www.phylopic.org/ ).
