Fig. 2. Analysis of DjPum expression in intact and regenerating D. japonica by in situ hybridization. Broken blue lines indicate the blastema region, which does not contain proliferating cells. (A) Schematic drawing of a planarian (anterior towards the top). cg, cephalic ganglia; e, eyes; nc, nerve cords; ph, pharynx. (B-G) Dorsal view of whole-mount in situ hybridized planarians. (B,C) Intact specimens. (D,E) Head fragments and (F,G) lateral fragments, 3 days after transection. (B) DjPum expression. (C) DjPum expression, 10 days after X-ray irradiation. (D) DjPum expression. (E) Expression of DjMCM2 is shown for comparison with the DjPum expression depicted in D. (F) DjPum expression. (G) Expression of DjMCM2 is shown for comparison with the DjPum expression depicted in F. (H) Schematic drawing of a regenerating lateral fragment showing the distribution of DjPum- and DjMCM2-positive cells (blue lines). Scale bar: 400 µm. (I) Visualization of two neoblast-like cells expressing DjPum mRNA after in situ hybridization on dissociated cells. (L-N) Double fluorescent in situ hybridization on dissociated cells. (L) Expression of DjMCM2 mRNA in two neoblast-like cells. (M) DjPum mRNA expression is detectable in one of the two cells depicted in L. (N) L and M images were combined using Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Scale bar: 10 µm.
