Fig. 1. Spatio-temporal analysis of lhx9 isoforms during Xenopus epicardial development. Whole embryo in situ hybridization was performed on Xenopus embryos at stages 36 to 46, using probes specific for lhx9-α (A-D), lhx9-LIM (E,F), lhx9-HD (G-L) and tbx18 (K-N) (see also Figs S2-S5). Views display embryos facing right, left and ventral with anterior to the top. Images show magnified cardiac regions as depicted by red box on tadpole schematic (bottom right). Red arrowheads indicate staining of septum transversum and PE clusters. Asterisks indicate cardiac region. White dashed line outlines heart in ventral views. (E,F) Transverse gelatin section in situ hybridization images of cardiac region demonstrate lhx9-LIM expression exclusively in the septum transversum (stage 36) and proepicardial tissue (stage 41). en, anterior endoderm; h, heart; peo, proepicardial organ; st, septum transversum.
