When grafted ectopically into the diencephalon of a chick host embryo, a portion of met-mesencephalon straddling the met-mesencephalic constriction has the capacity to induce En-2 expression in the surrounding host tissue. Subsequently, tectal and cerebellar structures, composed of both host and grafted cells, are reconstructed in this ectopic location at the expense of the host diencephalon. Previous experiments indicated that the induction of En-2 was correlated with Wnt-1 expression within the graft. The aim of the present study was: (i) to determine whether Wnt-1 expression was spatially regulated within the graft, (ii) to investigate whether host Wnt-1-expressing cells were also involved in the ectopic met-mesencephalic development and, if so, (iii) to localize these Wnt-1-positive domains in relation to the patterning of the ectopically developing met-mesencephalic territory. We studied the expression profile of Wnt-1, in relation with that of other positional markers, in quail/chick chimeras where various portions of met-mesencephalon had been grafted into the diencephalon. We found that Wnt-1 expression was reorganized within the graft, and that it was also induced in the host in contact with the graft. Moreover, these ectopic expressions of Wnt-1, in both the grafted and the surrounding host tissues, were organized in concert to form a continuous positive line at the host/graft junction, the location of which depended on the precise origin of the graft. Finally, we found that this line was frequently located at the limit between territories expressing different positional markers. We propose that Wnt-1 expression is turned on at the junction between domains of different phenotypes, and may be used as a border to stabilize these adjacent differently committed territories.
