Carbonic anhydrase II localization was studied in mouse embryonic and fetal hearts for better understanding of the functions of this enzyme during cardiac organogenesis. Immunocytolabelling was performed on serial sections of frozen hearts after one night's fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde. In the earliest stages studied, 10, 11 and 12 ed (ed = embryonic day; vaginal plug = day 1), a sharp decrease of labelled cells was observed in the endocardium form which cushion-tissue mesenchyme is derived. During the same period, differences in the decreasing frequencies of labelled cells were also observed between three different cushion-tissue mesenchyme localizations: immunostained cells were abundant in the atrioventricular cushions, less numerous in the proximal part of the conotruncal ridges and rare in their distal part. From 13 ed their repartition was more regular along the conotruncus. From 13 to 16 ed the signal was also present in a peculiar region of the myocardium: the anterior and left walls of the left ventricle. At the 18 and 20 ed labelling was found only in some endothelial cells of coronary vessels, particularly in the interventricular septum. The pattern of expression of carbonic anhydrase II in activated endothelial cells and endothelial-derived mesenchyme cells of the cardiac cushion tissue, strongly suggests that this isoenzyme can be a useful marker for a subpopulation of endothelial cells and cells derived from this endothelium that morphologically express signs of active cell behavior (e.g., invasion, migration, proliferation).
