Fig. 5. Consequences of forced expression of mouse Myf5 or MyoD
in the neural tube for negative regulators of myogenesis. Adjacent transverse
sections of embryos electroporated with mouse MyoD 1 day after
electroporation were hybridised with the DIG-labelled antisense probes for
mouse MyoD (A,E). The corresponding adjacent sections were hybridised
with the ligands Delta1 (B), Serrate2 (C), the receptor
Notch1 (D) and the HLH transcription factor Id2 (F). The
framed regions in C,D show the right sides of the electroporated-neural tubes,
where the expression of Serrate2 (C) and Notch1 (D) is
upregulated compared with the control left sides of the neural tubes. The
arrows in E,F show the areas where Id2 expression is upregulated (F)
corresponding to the regions of the ectopic mouse MyoD (E).
