In situ hybridization analysis of Brachyury (T) in early headfold stage Dvl1-/-; Dvl2-/- and Lp/Lp mutant embryos. (A) T, a known downstream target gene of the canonical Wnt pathway, was expressed in the notochord, node and primitive streak in control embryos (Dvl1-/-; Dvl2+/-). (B) In Dvl1-/-; Dvl2-/- mutants, T expression in the node and primitive streak was maintained, suggesting normal activity of the Wnt pathway. However, T expression in the notochord was abnormally widened. T-positive cells were also observed outside of the notochord (arrows), consistent with a disruption of cell movement towards the central midline. Compared with wild-type littermates (C), T expression was also widened in the notochord of Lp/Lp embryos (D). T-positive cells were also observed outside of the notochord (D, arrows). |
