Fig. 5. Misexpression of Tbx3VP16 causes a caudal shift in axial limb
position. (A) MyoD expression marks the somites and Shh
marks the ZPA. There is a two-somite level caudal shift (marked by bars) in
the injected limb (right). (B) dHand expression at stage 17 following
Tbx3VP16 misexpression. dHand is restricted to the
posterior limb mesenchyme in the control side (left, arrowhead shows rostral
expression border), while in the injected side, dHand expression is
displaced caudally (right, arrowhead). (C) Gli3 expression at stage
17 following Tbx3VP16 misexpression. Gli3 is upregulated
in the injected side (right) compared with the control side (left). The graded
domain of Gli3 expression is displaced caudally (compare left and
right arrowheads).
