Fig. 3. A selective antagonist of Cyp26 enzymes recapitulates the
cyp26a1 ; cyp26b1;cyp26c1 phenotype. RNA in
situ hybridizations with the markers described in
Fig. 2. (A-F) Compared
with DMSOtreated controls (A,C,E), treatment with 10 µM R115866 (B,D,F)
causes an anterior shift of hoxb1a (arrowhead in A,B) and
hoxd4 (arrowhead in C,D) towards the presumptive cerebellum, marked
by en3 (red in A,B) and by pax2a (brackets in C-F). This
effect of R115866 is reversed by co-treatment with 10 µM DEAB (E,F). Scale
bars: 100 µm. Scale bar in A is for A,B; Scale bar in C is for C-F.
