    <p>(A) Dual luciferase assay using the β-catenin responsive TopFlash construct shows loss of reporter assay activity in <i>fto</i>MO embryos analysed at both 24 hpf (con: 1.000 SEM ±0.073, ftoMO: 0.491 SEM ±0.105) and 48 hpf (con:1.000 SEM ±0.103, ftoMO 0.580 SEM ±0.066) stages. (B) <i>Lef1</i> transcripts, a canonical Wnt target gene, were analysed by <i>in situ</i> hybridisation (ISH) at 48 hpf. <i>Fto</i> morphants showed marked loss of <i>lef1</i> expression in the optic-tectum (arrows). Scale bar: 500 µm. n =  con 56/66, <i>fto</i>MO 40/53. (C) Loss of β-Catenin was confirmed in <i>fto</i> morphants by western blotting at 48 hpf. β-Catenin protein levels were quantified relative to the loading control (Actin). (D) ISH analysis of <i>ctnnb1</i> (zebrafish <i>β-catenin 1</i>) at 48 hpf showed upregulation of transcripts specifically in areas of the lateral hindbrain (arrowheads). Scale bar: 500 µm. n =  con 70/70, <i>fto</i>MO 65/68 (E) <i>Fto</i> morphant <i>Tg(7xTCF-Xla.Siam:GFP)<sup>ia4</sup></i> display loss of GFP accumulation in both the Telen- and Diencephalic regions of the brain when compared to uninjected controls at 48 hpf, embryos viewed from a dorsal perspective. Scale bar: 100 µm; n =  con 20/20, <i>fto</i>MO 18/20.</p

    <p>(A) Cytoplasmic, membrane and nuclear fractions of control (<i>Fto<sup>+/+</sup></i>) and Fto knockout (<i>Fto<sup>−/−</sup></i>) MEFs treated with control (−) or Wnt3a -conditioned medium (+) for 4 hours were analysed by Western blot using β-Catenin antibody. Hsp90 and c-Jun were used as loading controls for cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions, respectively. (B) <i>Fto</i> mRNA expression in control and <i>Fto</i> knockout MEFs as determined by RT Real Time PCR. The data shown represent the mean ±SEM, (n = 3) (C) Quantification of cytoplasmic, membrane and nuclear β-catenin by ELISA in control and <i>Fto</i> knockout MEFs treated with control or Wnt3a -conditioned medium for 4 hours. The data shown represent the mean ±SEM, (n = 5). One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test was performed, ***P<0.05, NS: not significant. (D) Immunofluorescence of control and <i>Fto</i> knockout MEFs treated with control and Wnt3a conditioned medium for 4 hours. Scale bar indicates 20 µm.
