Fig. 6. Substantial rescue of WNT gene expression in the Emx2 mutant
cortical hem. (A-F) E13.5 hemispheres viewed from the medial side. Wild-type
expression of Wnt3a and Wnt2b (A,D). (B,C,E,F) Hemispheres
electroporated anteriorly with sFGFR3c at E.9.5. Each brain was
co-electroporated with EGFP. WNT gene expression remains depleted in
Emx2 mutant brains with sparse or undetected EGFP (inefficiently
transfected) (B,E), but expression is substantially restored in two brains
that were efficiently transfected with sFGFR3c, assessed by
high-density EGFP fluorescence (C,F). Scale bar: 0.4 mm.
