Zebrafish erythropoietin a (epoa) is a well characterized regulator of red blood cell formation. Recent morpholino mediated knockdown data have also identifiedepoabeing essential for physiological pronephros development in zebrafish, which is driven by blocking apoptosis in developing kidneys. Yet, zebrafish mutants forepoahave not been described so far. In order to compare a transient knockdown vs. permanent knockout forepoain zebrafish on pronephros development, we used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generateepoaknockout zebrafish mutants and we performed structural and functional studies on pronephros development. In contrast toepoamorphants,epoa−/-zebrafish mutants showed normal pronephros structure; however, a previously uncharacterized gene in zebrafish, namedepob, was identified and upregulated inepoa−/-mutants.epobknockdown altered pronephros development, which was further aggravated inepoa−/-mutants. Likewise,epoaandepobmorphants regulated similar and differential gene signatures related to kidney development in zebrafish. In conclusion, stable loss ofepoaduring embryonic development can be compensated byepobleading to phenotypical discrepancies inepoaknockdown and knockout zebrafish embryos.
