Fig. 4. Nkx3.2-
C-VP16 acts as a reverse function form of Nkx3.2
and accelerates chondrocyte maturation. The right wing buds of day 3 chick
embryos were infected with RCAS(A)-Nkx3.2-
C-VP16 virus. Embryos were
harvested at either E10 (A,C) or E8.5 (B), and processed for Alcian
Blue/Alizarin Red staining (A) or section ISH (B,C). The
extent of mineralized bone (red bar in A) is increased in limbs infected with
RCAS-Nkx3.2-
C-VP16 relative to the contralateral control limb.
Double-headed arrows (B,C) compare either the peripheral-most extent of col X
expression or the peripheral-most extent lacking col II expression.
