Fig. 6. Interaction between PCP genotype and RhoA-ROCK signalling. Percent
embryos with closed neural tube (i.e. successful Closure 1; upward bars) or
open neural tube (i.e. failure of Closure 1; downward bars) after 18 hours
culture from E7.5. Data plotted against concentration of ROCK inhibitor,
Y27632, or JNK inhibitor, SP600125. Hatched bars represent +/+ embryos. Solid
bars represent Lp/+ (A,B), Crsh/+ (C)
and Crc/+ (D) embryos. While Y27632 affects Closure 1 in
wild-type embryos only at the highest concentration, and not at all in
circletail litters, heterozygous embryos of all three strains show
failure of Closure 1 at lower Y27632 concentrations. Neurulation is not
adversely affected by SP600125 in +/+ or Lp/+ embryos. For number of
embryos and statistical analysis, see Table
