Fig. 3. Loss of Arhgef11 function leads to abnormal expression of laterality
markers. (A-D) Expression of spaw in 19- to 22-somite
stage (
19 hpf) embryos detected by in situ hybridization with antisense
RNA probe. Scale bar, 150 µm. (E) Bar graph of the percentage of WT
and treated embryos exhibiting the expression patterns for spaw shown
in A-D, or pitx2 shown in F-I. (F-I) Expression of
pitx2 in 22- to 25-somite stage (
21 hpf) embryos detected by in
situ hybridization with antisense RNA probe. Expression of pitx2 in
Rohon Beard cells (marked by arrowheads) is not disrupted. Scale bar, 150
µm. (J) Graphical representation of the percentage of embryos
exhibiting the expression patterns for cmlc2 shown in K-M or for
ins shown in N-P. (K-M) Expression of cmlc2 in
33 hpf embryos detected by in situ hybridization with antisense RNA
probe. Scale bar, 150 µm. (N-P) Expression of ins in
53 hpf embryos detected by in situ hybridization with antisense RNA
probe. A dotted line marks the approximate midline. Scale bar: 150 µm.
