Fig. 10 The early morphogenetic movement of interrenal tissue is guided by ECs. The parallel migrations of interrenal tissue and pronephros in this schematic are depicted based on the results of this study and Hsu et al. (2003). The panels represent dorsal top views of embryos, at the indicated stages, oriented with anterior to the top. The earliest association of interrenal tissue with ECs was detected at 24.5 hpf by ISH, while no interrenal-EC interaction was detected at 22 hpf, when the primitive interrenal cell clusters resided in the pronephric field. The steroidogenesis of interrenal tissue, after migration and convergence, is correlated temporally with the angiogenesis of pronephros. The assembly of axial vasculature near pronephric-interrenal region is omitted from this diagram. NC, notochord; 2S and 3S, the second and third somite, respectively.
