Fig. 6. Disp mutants exhibit multiple defects because of loss of Hh
signaling. (A-D,Q-Z,AA-FF) Whole-mount in situ hybridization using
digoxigenin-labeled riboprobes on wild-type (A,C,Q,S,U,W,Y,AA,CC,EE) and
Disp-/- (B,D,R,T,V,X,Z,BB,DD,FF) embryos at 9.5 dpc. All
views are lateral except (Y,Z,AA,BB), which represent dorsal views at the
forelimb level. (A,B) Brachury (T) expression; (C,D) Hnf3b
expression; (Q,R) Pax1 expression; (S,T) Pax3 expression;
(U,V) Myf5 expression; (W,X) myogenin expression; (Y,Z)
Hand2 (dHand) expression; (AA,BB) Hoxd13
expression; (CC,DD) Fgf4 expression; (EE,FF) Fgf8
expression. Bracket in Y and arrow in Z indicate Hand2 expression in
the limb, whereas the line next to the bracket indicates the extent of the
limb bud viewed at this angle. Arrow in CC indicates Fgf4 expression
in the posterior AER of the forelimb of a wild-type embryo. (E-P) Isotopic
section in situ hybridization using 33P-UTP-labeled riboprobes on
paraffin sections of wild-type (E,G,I,K,M,O) and Disp-/-
(F,H,J,L,N,P) embryos at 9.5 dpc. (E,F,I) Cross-section at the hindbrain
level; (G,H,J-P) cross-section at the forelimb level. (E,F) Hnf3b
expression; (G,H) Pax3 expression; (I,J) Pax6 expression;
(K,L) Dbx1 expression; (M,N) islet 1 expression; (O,P) Wnt3a
expression. nt, neural tube; fp, floor plate; bp, branchial pouch.
