Figure 5. Xhh expression is also activated during TH induced intestinal
metamorphosis. Stage 56 tadpoles were treated with 5 nM T3 for various times
as indicated in days. RNA was isolated from the intestine for Northern blot
analysis using either Xhh or rpL8 as a probe. 28S and 18S ribosomal markers
are indicated on the left. It is interesting to note that in the absence ofexogenous
TH it normally takes 8 days for stage 56 tadpoles to reach stage 60 when Xhh
mRNA levels are upregulated (Fig. 4), 11 days to reach the peak levels of Xhh
mRNA (stage 62), and 3 weeks to reach stage 66 when Xhh expression is
repressed again. Image published in: Stolow MA and Shi YB (1995) Copyright © 1995. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
