Fig. 5. Inhibition of bud detachment and kringelchen expression after
treatment with either the FGFR inhibitor SU5402 or phosphorothioated
oligonucleotides. (A) Treatment scheme for SU5402. Buds were treated for 24
hours with SU5402 and examined at stages 3, 5 and 7. Asterisk indicates when
in situ hybridization was carried out. (B) Scheme of the increasingly severe
abnormalities obtained after treatment with SU5402. (C) Effects of SU5402
treatment on the characteristics of the animals at three different stages
after treatment. The most severe abnormality predominated at earlier stages
after treatment with either SU5402 or phosphorothioate antisense
oligonucleotides. (D-F) In situ hybridization of the kringelchen
antisense RNA probe to Hydra with increasingly severe abnormalities
produced by SU5402 treatment. (G) Effects of electroporation of PT-antisense
oligo 1 in stage 3 buds. Sixty polyps were electroporated, the 39 survivors
evaluated. (H) In situ hybridization of kringelchen RNA probe to a
typical abnormally elongated bud obtained by the antisense oligonucleotide
treatment. Evaluation of the abnormalities and in situ hybridization were
carried out 7 days after the end of treatment.
