Transcriptional control between DYX1C1/dyx1c1 and DCDC2/dcdc2b.A-D). hTERT-RPE1 cells were transfected with siDYX1C1, siDCDC2 or siCtrl, respectively, RNA was extracted and qRT-PCR was run (n = 3 experiments with 3 replicates, mean ± sem). A, C) Knockdown of DYX1C1 and DCDC2 efficiently reduced the respective transcripts (p-value < 0.0001, t-test). B, D) Expression of DCDC2 and DYX1C1 is reduced after knockdown of siDYX1C1 and siDCDC2, respectively (p-value < 0.05, t-test). E) dcdc2b expression was unchanged in dyx1c1 morphants: RNA of dyx1c1 morphant zebrafish was collected at 1dpf and 2dpf after morpholino injection at 1-cell stage. RT-qPCR analysis shows that dcdc2b expression is unchanged in dyx1c1 morphant embryos compared to control embryos (n = 3, mean ± sem, p-value (1dpf) = 0.2597, p-value (2dpf) = 0.4521), t-test). dpf = days post fertilization
