Genetic interaction between Dvl2 and Lp and reduced length-to-width ratio (LWR) in Lp/Lp and Dvl2-/-; Lp/+ embryos during neurulation. (A) Similar to Dvl1-/-; Dvl2-/- embryos, Lp/Lp mutants displayed significant reduction of LWR during neurulation, while Lp/+ embryos displayed intermediate reduction. At the eight-somite stage, some of the neural folds were already apposed and started to fuse at the dorsal midline in wild-type embryos (B). Parallel to the reduction of LWR, however, the neural folds were still open in Lp/+ embryos (C) and widely apart in Lp/Lp embryos (D) of the same somite stage. Similar to both Dvl1-/-; Dvl2-/- and Lp/Lp mutants, all Dvl2-/-; Lp/+ embryos also displayed significant reduction of LWR during neurulation (E). From a cross between Dvl1+/-; Dvl2+/-; Lp/+ and Dvl2-/- mice, all progeny that were Dvl2-/- or Dvl1+/-; Dvl2-/- (F) displayed normal neural tube closure at E10.5. By contrast, all Dvl1+/-; Dvl2-/-; Lp/+ and Dvl2-/-; Lp/+ embryos displayed craniorachischisis (G). The error bars represent s.d. |
